The Removal of Random Valued Impulse Noise Using Contrast Enhancement and Decision Based Filter
Digital images are transmitted in noisy environment and it will frequently affected by impulse noise .To remove this noise from the image is a fundamental problem of image processing. There are various types of noise in an image especially salt and pepper noise and random valued impulse noise. This paper introduces a new filtering scheme based on contrast enhancement filter and decision based filter for removing the random valued impulse noise. The application of a nonlinear function to increasing the difference between noise pixels and noise-free and results in efficient detection of noisy pixels. As the performance of a filtering system, in general, depends on the number of iterations used, the effective stopping criterion based on noisy image characteristics to determine the number of iterations is also proposed. This proposed method removes only the corrupted pixel by its neighboring pixel values. As a result of this, the proposed method removes the noise effectively and preserves the edges without any loss up to 80% of noise level
An enhanced fletcher-reeves-like conjugate gradient methods for image restoration
Noise is an unavoidable aspect of modern camera technology, causing a decline in the overall visual quality of the images. Efforts are underway to diminish noise without compromising essential image features like edges, corners, and other intricate structures. Numerous techniques have already been suggested by many researchers for noise reduction, each with its unique set of benefits and drawbacks. Denoising images is a basic challenge in image processing. We describe a two-phase approach for removing impulse noise in this study. The adaptive median filter (AMF) for salt-and-pepper noise identifies noise candidates in the first phase. The second step minimizes an edge-preserving regularization function using a novel hybrid conjugate gradient approach. To generate the new improved search direction, the new algorithm takes advantage of two well-known successful conjugate gradient techniques. The descent property and global convergence are proven for the new methods. The obtained numerical results reveal that, when applied to image restoration, the new algorithms are superior to the classical fletcher reeves (FR) method in the same domain in terms of maintaining image quality and efficiency

When the noise ratio is high, rank order filters, such as the median filter for example, can produce unsatisfactory results. Better results can be obtained by applying the filter twice, which we call two-pass filtering. To further improve the performance, we develop an adaptive two-pass rank order filter. Between the passes of
filtering, an adaptive process is used to detect irregularities in the spatial distribution of the estimated impulse noise. The adaptive process then selectively replaces some pixels changed by the first
pass of filtering with their original observed pixel values. These pixels are then kept unchanged during the second filtering. In combination, the adaptive process and the sec ond filter eliminate more impulse noise and restore some pixels that are mistakenly
altered by the first filtering. As a final result, the reconstructed image maintains a higher degree of fidelity and has a smaller
amount of noise. The idea of adaptive two-pass processing can be applied to many rank order filters, such as a center-weighted
median filter (CWMF), adaptive CWMF, lower-upper-middle filter, and soft-decision rank-order-mean filter. Results from computer simulations are used to demonstrate the performance of this type of adaptation using a number of basic rank order filters.This work was supported in part by CenSSIS, the Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems, under the Engineering Research Centers Program of the National Science Foundation (NSF) under Award EEC-9986821, by an ARO MURI on Demining under Grant DAAG55-97-1-0013, and by the NSF under Award 0208548
Hyperspectral Image Restoration via Total Variation Regularized Low-rank Tensor Decomposition
Hyperspectral images (HSIs) are often corrupted by a mixture of several types
of noise during the acquisition process, e.g., Gaussian noise, impulse noise,
dead lines, stripes, and many others. Such complex noise could degrade the
quality of the acquired HSIs, limiting the precision of the subsequent
processing. In this paper, we present a novel tensor-based HSI restoration
approach by fully identifying the intrinsic structures of the clean HSI part
and the mixed noise part respectively. Specifically, for the clean HSI part, we
use tensor Tucker decomposition to describe the global correlation among all
bands, and an anisotropic spatial-spectral total variation (SSTV)
regularization to characterize the piecewise smooth structure in both spatial
and spectral domains. For the mixed noise part, we adopt the norm
regularization to detect the sparse noise, including stripes, impulse noise,
and dead pixels. Despite that TV regulariztion has the ability of removing
Gaussian noise, the Frobenius norm term is further used to model heavy Gaussian
noise for some real-world scenarios. Then, we develop an efficient algorithm
for solving the resulting optimization problem by using the augmented Lagrange
multiplier (ALM) method. Finally, extensive experiments on simulated and
real-world noise HSIs are carried out to demonstrate the superiority of the
proposed method over the existing state-of-the-art ones.Comment: 15 pages, 20 figure
Exploiting Image Local And Nonlocal Consistency For Mixed Gaussian-Impulse Noise Removal
Most existing image denoising algorithms can only deal with a single type of
noise, which violates the fact that the noisy observed images in practice are
often suffered from more than one type of noise during the process of
acquisition and transmission. In this paper, we propose a new variational
algorithm for mixed Gaussian-impulse noise removal by exploiting image local
consistency and nonlocal consistency simultaneously. Specifically, the local
consistency is measured by a hyper-Laplace prior, enforcing the local
smoothness of images, while the nonlocal consistency is measured by
three-dimensional sparsity of similar blocks, enforcing the nonlocal
self-similarity of natural images. Moreover, a Split-Bregman based technique is
developed to solve the above optimization problem efficiently. Extensive
experiments for mixed Gaussian plus impulse noise show that significant
performance improvements over the current state-of-the-art schemes have been
achieved, which substantiates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, 3 tables, to be published at IEEE Int. Conf. on
