Directional Adaptive Multilevel Median Filter for Salt–and-Pepper Noise Reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel two-stage adaptive noise reduction scheme for images corrupted by salt and pepper noise. The first stage identifies the impulse noise in the image by classifying the pixels into two classesthe 'noise-free pixels' and the 'noise corrupted pixels', based on the intensity values of the pixels. The second stage aims to reduce the impulse noise from the image by processing the 'noise corrupted pixels' while the 'noise-free pixels' are kept intact. This stage consists of two steps. In the first step, the denoised value of each 'noise corrupted pixel' is calculated using adaptive multilevel median filter. The second step enhances the image quality by applying directional filtering to the denoised image of the first step. Extensive computer simulations

Improved Adaptive Median Filter Algorithm for Removing Impulse Noise from Grayscale Images
Digital image is often degraded by many kinds of noise during the process of acquisition and transmission. To make subsequent processing more convenient, it is necessary to decrease the effect of noise. There are many kinds of noises in image, which mainly include salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise. This paper focuses on median filters to remove the salt and pepper noise. After summarizin...
متن کاملSalt and Pepper Noise Removal using Pixon-based Segmentation and Adaptive Median Filter
Removing salt and pepper noise is an active research area in image processing. In this paper, a two-phase method is proposed for removing salt and pepper noise while preserving edges and fine details. In the first phase, noise candidate pixels are detected which are likely to be contaminated by noise. In the second phase, only noise candidate pixels are restored using adaptive median filter. In...
متن کاملMedian Filter based Wavelet Transform for Multilevel Noise
In digital image different kinds of noises exist in an image and a variety of noise reduction techniques are available to perform de-noising. Selection of the de-noising algorithm depends on the types of noise. Gaussian noise, speckle noise, salt & pepper noise, shot noise are types of noises that are present in an image. The principle approach of image de-noising is filtering. Available filter...
متن کاملAdaptive Noise Reduction Scheme for Salt and Pepper
In this paper, a new adaptive noise reduction scheme for images corrupted by impulse noise is presented. The proposed scheme efficiently identifies and reduces salt and pepper noise. MAG (Mean Absolute Gradient) is used to identify pixels which are most likely corrupted by salt and pepper noise that are candidates for further median based noise reduction processing. Directional filtering is the...
متن کاملAn Improved Adaptive Median Filter for Image Denoising
In this paper, we proposed a new adaptive median filter for image denoising. In our method, two thresholds have been involved for detecting noises in variable-sized windows. The median filter and the mean filter are combined for changing the value of the corrupted pixels. The filter can preserve the fine details of image while suppressing the impulsive-type noise. The results of the experiments...
