In this paper an efficient algorithm is proposed for removal of salt & pepper noise from digital images. The proposed algorithm consists of two stages: in first stage the noisy image is processed by adaptive median filter and in the second stage the output of first stage is further processed by modified mean filter. The first stage classifies noisy pixels by comparing each pixel in the image to...

OBJECTIVE To assess, in vitro, the effect of Amifostine (AMF, WR-2721) on angiogenesis and levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secreted from hemopoietic stem/progenitor cell populations. METHODS We conducted the study in the research laboratories of the Hashemite University, Jordan between September 2003 and January 2005 where we took samples were from Myelodysplastic syndrome...

annihilation or reduction of each kind of noise blended in correct data signals is a field that has attracted many researchers. it is a fact that fuzzy theory presents full capability in this field. fuzzy filters are often strong in smoothing corrupted signals, whereas they have simple structures. in this paper, a new powerful yet simple fuzzy procedure is introduced for sharpness reduction in ...

Digital image processing is a subset of the electronic domain wherein the image is converted to an array of small integers, called pixels, representing a physical quantity such as scene radiance, stored in a digital memory, and processed by computer or other digital hardware. The application of median filter has been investigated. As an advanced method compared with standard median filtering, t...

In medical image processing, noise removal is the challenging task. Removal of noise using the existing methods like Median Filter (MF), Center Weighted Median Filter (CWMF), Rank Condition Rank Selection Filter (RCRSF) and SMF Selective Median Filter (SMF) provides satisfactory results. In this paper, we have made improvements in SMF by providing the adaptive thresholding concept and called as...

This paper presents an application of the adaptive median post-filter to improve impedance estimation based on the differential equation algorithm. The main feature of the post-filter is the automatic selection of the optimal window size that balances between fast tracking and filtering performance. For sudden impedance change (fault inception), small window size is selected to make fault detec...

Several researchers are concentrated on cancellation of salt and pepper noise from the two-dimensional signals like digital images and uses several filters like mean filter, median filter, trimmed median filter etc. , for removal of noise. A novel approach has been implemented using a filter so called Additive White Median Filter (AWMF) for filtering the two-dimensional signal which uses a sche...
