GENETIC FUZZY FILTER BASED ON MAD AND ROAD TO REMOVE MIXED IMPULSE NOISE
In this thesis, a genetic fuzzy image filtering based on rank-ordered absolute
differences (ROAD) and median of the absolute deviations from the median (MAD) is
proposed. The proposed method consists of three components, including fuzzy noise
detection system, fuzzy switching scheme filtering, and fuzzy parameters
optimization using genetic algorithms (GA) to perform efficient and effective noise
removal. Our idea is to utilize MAD and ROAD as measures of noise probability of a
pixel. Fuzzy inference system is used to justify the degree of which a pixel can be
categorized as noisy. Based on the fuzzy inference result, the fuzzy switching scheme
that adopts median filter as the main estimator is applied to the filtering. The GA
training aims to find the best parameters for the fuzzy sets in the fuzzy noise
detection.
From the experimental results, the proposed method has successfully removed
mixed impulse noise in low to medium probabilities, while keeping the uncorrupted
pixels less affected by the median filtering. It also surpasses the other methods, either
classical or soft computing-based approaches to impulse noise removal, in MAE and
PSNR evaluations. It can also remove salt-and-pepper and uniform impulse noise
well
Adaptive Marginal Median Filter for Colour Images
This paper describes a new filter for impulse noise reduction in colour images which is aimed at improving the noise reduction capability of the classical vector median filter. The filter is inspired by the application of a vector marginal median filtering process over a selected group of pixels in each filtering window. This selection, which is based on the vector median, along with the application of the marginal median operation constitutes an adaptive process that leads to a more robust filter design. Also, the proposed method is able to process colour images without introducing colour artifacts. Experimental results show that the images filtered with the proposed method contain less noisy pixels than those obtained through the vector median filter
Adaptive geometric features based filtering impulse noise in colour images
An adaptive geometric features based filtering (AGFF) technique with a low computational complexity is proposed for removal of impulse noise in corrupted color images. The effective and efficient detection is based on geometric characteristics and features of the corrupted pixel and/or the pixel region. A progressive restoration mechanism is devised using multi-pass non-linear operations. Through extensive experiments conducted using a wide range of test color images, the proposed filtering technique has demonstrated superior performance to that of well-known benchmark techniques, in terms of objective measurements, the visual image quality and the computational complexity
Fuzzy metrics and fuzzy logic for colour image filtering
El filtrado de imagen es una tarea fundamental para la mayoría de los sistemas de visión por computador cuando las imágenes se usan para análisis automático o, incluso, para inspección humana. De hecho, la presencia de ruido en una imagen puede ser un grave impedimento para las sucesivas tareas de procesamiento de imagen como, por ejemplo, la detección de bordes o el reconocimiento de patrones u objetos y, por lo tanto, el ruido debe ser reducido.
En los últimos años el interés por utilizar imágenes en color se ha visto incrementado de forma significativa en una gran variedad de aplicaciones. Es por esto que el filtrado de imagen en color se ha convertido en un área de investigación interesante. Se ha observado ampliamente que las imágenes en color deben ser procesadas teniendo en cuenta la correlación existente entre los distintos canales de color de la imagen. En este sentido, la solución probablemente más conocida y estudiada es el enfoque vectorial. Las primeras soluciones de filtrado vectorial, como por ejemplo el filtro de mediana vectorial (VMF) o el filtro direccional vectorial (VDF), se basan en la teoría de la estadística robusta y, en consecuencia, son capaces de realizar un filtrado robusto. Desafortunadamente, estas técnicas no se adaptan a las características locales de la imagen, lo que implica que usualmente los bordes y detalles de las imágenes se emborronan y pierden calidad. A fin de solventar este problema, varios filtros vectoriales adaptativos se han propuesto recientemente.
En la presente Tesis doctoral se han llevado a cabo dos tareas principales: (i) el estudio de la aplicabilidad de métricas difusas en tareas de procesamiento de imagen y (ii) el diseño de nuevos filtros para imagen en color que sacan provecho de las propiedades de las métricas difusas y la lógica difusa. Los resultados experimentales presentados en esta Tesis muestran que las métricas difusas y la lógica difusa son herramientas útiles para diseñar técnicas de filtrado,Morillas Gómez, S. (2007).

A review on the rule-based filtering structure with applications on computational biomedical images
concepts in the filtering structure. It is crucial for understanding and discussing different principles associated with fuzzy filter design procedures. A number of typical fuzzy multichannel filtering approaches are provided in order to clarify the different fuzzy filter designs and compare different algorithms. In particular, in most practical applications (i.e., biomedical image analysis), the emphasis is placed primarily on fuzzy filtering algorithms, with the main advantages of restoration of corrupted medical images and the interpretation capability, along with the capability of edge preservation and relevant image information for accurate diagnosis of diseases
Review on Some Methods used in Image Restoration
The restoration image is manner of mending the inventive image by eradicating noise and fuzziness from image. Image fuzziness is troublesome to shun in several things similar shooting, to confiscate motion blur caused by camera stillness, measuring device imaging to eradicate the outcome of image scheme retort, etc. The aim of image restoration is guesstimate the innovative image from surveillance image despoiled by haziness and preservative noise as much as promising. Altered image restoration techniques have urbanized by many researches. In this review I will discuss different images restoration methods
Accurate and reliable segmentation of the optic disc in digital fundus images
We describe a complete pipeline for the detection and accurate automatic segmentation of the optic disc in digital fundus images. This procedure provides separation of vascular information and accurate inpainting of vessel-removed images, symmetry-based optic disc localization, and fitting of incrementally complex contour models at increasing resolutions using information related to inpainted images and vessel masks. Validation experiments, performed on a large dataset of images of healthy and pathological eyes, annotated by experts and partially graded with a quality label, demonstrate the good performances of the proposed approach. The method is able to detect the optic disc and trace its contours better than the other systems presented in the literature and tested on the same data. The average error in the obtained contour masks is reasonably close to the interoperator errors and suitable for practical applications. The optic disc segmentation pipeline is currently integrated in a complete software suite for the semiautomatic quantification of retinal vessel properties from fundus camera images (VAMPIRE)
