This paper describes two methods for impulse noise reduction in colour images that outperform the vector median filter from the noise reduction capability point of view. Both methods work by determining first the vector median in a given filtering window. Then, the use of complimentary information from componentwise analysis allows to build robust outputs from more reliable components. The corr...

As reducing impulse noise in a digital image is a very active research area in image processing, this paper proposes a novel algorithm for digital image impulsive noise detection and reduction based on adaptive nonlinear techniques which seems to be a boom in digital image restoration process. The main objective of this algorithm is to consider a particular digital image as input and make the p...

An extension of the bilateral filter is described. The proposed filter is a weighted median filter which adaptively estimates the weights in a similar manner to that of the bilateral filter. The proposed filter strikes a compromise between smoothing and preserving important detail.

This paper proposes a new technique based on nonlinear Adaptive Median filter (AMF) for image restoration. Image denoising is a common procedure in digital image processing aiming at the removal of noise, which may corrupt an image during its acquisition or transmission, while retaining its quality. This procedure is traditionally performed in the spatial or frequency domain by filtering. The a...

An efficient noise reduction approach is proposed by combining Robust Outlyingness Ratio (ROR) which measures how impulse like each pixel is, with noise adaptive fuzzy switching median filter (NAFSM) and fuzzy c-means (FCM) segmentation. Based on the ROR values all the pixels are divided into four levels. Then in the coarse and fine stage introduce the NAFSM filter that optimizes the performanc...

this paper studies the use of unscented kalman filters (ukf) to estimate nonlinear dynamics and, specifically, adaptive determination of scaling parameters in these filters. due to lack of analytic solution and use of numerical methods instead, the computational load of these filters increases drastically. in this paper, a new method is proposed based on interactive multiple models (imm) which ...

The particle filter (PF) is a novel technique that has sufficiently good estimation results for the nonlinear/non-Gaussian systems. However, PF is inconsistent that caused mainly by loss of particle diversity in resampling step and unknown a priori knowledge of the noise statistics. This paper introduces a new modified particle filter called adaptive unscented particle filter (AUPF) to overcome th...

Impulsive noise in image is one of the common problems in the fields of digital imaging and due to unavoidable inherent causes it is required to filter it by some processing techniques. The FAGA or CPLD based filters are especially preferred because of their high speed parallel operations (unlike microprocessor which execute operations sequentially). This paper discusses the impulse noise and p...

This paper proposes a new filter based on empirical mode decomposition that is based on different characteristics of signal with noise in different IMFS for suppressing speckle in SAR interferogram is proposed. At first empirical mode decomposition is used to divide signal and processed high-frequency IMF signals separately by adaptive filter. The denoising effect of the proposed method, usual ...
