This paper describes our approach for the Visual Privacy Task (VPT) of the MediaEval 2014. Video privacy filtering based on privacy-sensitive-object transparency is proposed. The background (hidden behind the object) is estimated by median filtering over time sequence of pixel values. We focus only on the areas labeled as high privacy sensitive (i.e. face). Low and medium privacy areas were rat...

The idea of adaptive weighted median filtering of disturbed signals is presented in the contribution. The disturbance is assumed to be impulsive, hence linear filters are not a suitable tool for elimination of such pulses. After a short review of literature concerning weighted medians and their properties a piecewise linear process is analyzed and optimum weight vectors of the median filter are...

In this paper, we will define generalized real and generalized root signals of two dimensional median filtering. A new edge detection method based on generalized root signals of two dimensional median filtering will be proposed. Simulation results will be given and compared with the Sobel and Laplace edge detectors.

Most common method of clearing image noise is through median filtration. Median smoothers discard outliers (or impulses) quite effectively at lower noise densities but, fail to provide adequate smoothing for heavily noised images for the simple reason that, in the conventional median filter approaches, each and every pixel of an image is filtered without concern about healthy pixels. To suppres...

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...

A new class of nonlinear filters called Vector Median Rational Hybrid Filters (VMRHF) for multispectral image processing is introduced and applied to color image filtering problems. These filters are based on Rational Functions (RF). The VMRHF filter is a two-stage filter, which exploits the features of the vector median filter and those of the rational operator. The filter output is a result o...
