Impulse Noise Removal from Mammogram Images using Combiner Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Median filter is quite effective in recovering the images confounded by salt and pepper noise. It discards outliers (impulses) effectively, but it fails to provide adequate smoothing for images corrupted with non-impulse noise. In this paper, two nonlinear techniques for image filtering, namely, New Filter I and New Filter II are proposed based on a nonlinear high-pass filter algorithm. New Filter I is constructed using a median filter, a highpass filter and a combiner. It suppresses uniform noise quite well. New Filter II is configured using midpoint filter, a median smoother of window size 3x3, the high pass filter and the combiner. Both the filters are shown to exhibit good response at the image boundaries (edges). The proposed filters are evaluated for their performance on mammogram test image and the results obtained are included

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 کاملAn Enhanced Median Filter for Removing Noise from MR Images
In this paper, a novel decision based median (DBM) filter for enhancing MR images has been proposed. The method is based on eliminating impulse noise from MR images. A median-based method to remove impulse noise from digital MR images has been developed. Each pixel is leveled from black to white like gray-level. The method is adjusted in order to decide whether the median operation can be appli...
متن کاملNew Nonlinear Filtering Strategies for Eliminating Short and Long Tailed Noise in Images with Edge Preservation Properties
Midpoint filter is quite effective in recovering the images confounded by the short-tailed (uniform) noise. It, however, performs poorly in the presence of additive long-tailed (impulse) noise and it does not preserve the edge structures of the image signals. Median smoother discards outliers (impulses) effectively, but it fails to provide adequate smoothing for images corrupted with nonimpulse...
متن کاملBreast abnormalities segmentation using the wavelet transform coefficients aggregation
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the world. The automatic detection of masses in digital mammograms is a challenging task and a major step in the development of breast cancer CAD systems. In this study, we introduce a new method for automatic detection of suspicious mass candidate (SMC) regions in a mammogram. Methods: Mammography is widely used for the early...
متن کاملImpulse Noise removal in Digital Images
In this paper, we introduce a new class of filter, the modified spatial median filter (MSMF) for the removal of impulse noise in digital images. The proposed filter is compared with four different filtering algorithms based on their ability to reconstruct noise-affected images. In-order to better appraise the noise cancellation behavior of our filter from the point of view of human perception, ...
