چکیده

This paper investigates a fully unsupervised statistical method for edge preserving image restoration and compression using a spatial decomposition scheme. Smoothed maximum likelihood is used for local estimation of edge pixels from mixture parametric models of local templates. For the complementary smooth part the traditional L2-variational problem is solved in the Fourier domain with Thin Plate Spline (TPS) regularization [48]. It is well known that naive Fourier compression of the whole image fails to restore a piece-wise smooth noisy image satisfactorily due to Gibbs phenomenon [27]. Images are interpreted as relative frequency histograms of samples from bi-variate densities where the sample sizes might be unknown. The set of discontinuities is assumed to be completely unsupervised Lebesgue-null, compact subset of the plane in the continuous formulation of the problem. Proposed spatial decomposition uses a widely used topological concept, partition of unity [35,46]. The decision on edge pixel neighborhoods are made based on the multiple testing procedure of [29,32]. Statistical summary of the final output is decomposed into two layers of information extraction, one for the subset of edge pixels and the other for the smooth region. Robustness is also demonstrated by applying the technique on noisy degradation of clean images.

Noisy images edge detection: Ant colony optimization algorithm

The edges of an image define the image boundary. When the image is noisy, it does not become easy to identify the edges. Therefore, a method requests to be developed that can identify edges clearly in a noisy image. Many methods have been proposed earlier using filters, transforms and wavelets with Ant colony optimization (ACO) that detect edges. We here used ACO for edge detection of noisy ima...

Relaxation Scheme plication to Edge Detection

This paper presents a new scheme for probabilistic relaxation labeling that consists of an update function and a dictionary construction method. The nonlinear update function is derived from Markov Random Field theory and Bayes’ formula. The method combines evidence from neighboring label assignments and eliminates label ambiguity efficiently. This result is important for a variety of image pro...

Image Restoration by Variable Splitting based on Total Variant Regularizer

The aim of image restoration is to obtain a higher quality desired image from a degraded image. In this strategy, an image inpainting method fills the degraded or lost area of the image by appropriate information. This is performed in such a way so that the obtained image is undistinguishable for a casual person who is unfamiliar with the original image. In this paper, different images are degr...

A Decision Based Unsymmetrical Trimmed Variants for the Removal of High Density Salt and Pepper Noise

A Decision based scheme using a improved mesh based snake like sorting is proposed for the restoration of gray scale images that are heavily corrupted by salt and pepper noise. The proposed algorithm uses modified mean or median for image restoration. The processed pixel is examined for 0 or 255; if checked pixel is equal to 0 or 255, then it is considered as noisy pixel else not noisy. The noi...

Jump Surface Estimation, Edge Detection, And Image Restoration

Surface estimation is important in many applications. When conventional smoothing procedures, such as the running averages, local polynomial kernel smoothing procedures, and smoothing spline procedures, etc., are used for estimating jump surfaces from noisy data, jumps would be blurred at the same time when noise is removed. In recent years, new smoothing methodologies have been proposed in the...
