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

A Primal-Dual Proximal Algorithm for Sparse Template-Based Adaptive Filtering: Application to Seismic Multiple Removal
Unveiling meaningful geophysical information from seismic data requires to
deal with both random and structured "noises". As their amplitude may be
greater than signals of interest (primaries), additional prior information is
especially important in performing efficient signal separation. We address here
the problem of multiple reflections, caused by wave-field bouncing between
layers. Since only approximate models of these phenomena are available, we
propose a flexible framework for time-varying adaptive filtering of seismic
signals, using sparse representations, based on inaccurate templates. We recast
the joint estimation of adaptive filters and primaries in a new convex
variational formulation. This approach allows us to incorporate plausible
knowledge about noise statistics, data sparsity and slow filter variation in
parsimony-promoting wavelet frames. The designed primal-dual algorithm solves a
constrained minimization problem that alleviates standard regularization issues
in finding hyperparameters. The approach demonstrates significantly good
performance in low signal-to-noise ratio conditions, both for simulated and
real field seismic data
Impulse Noise Removal Using Soft-computing
Image restoration has become a powerful domain now a days. In numerous real life applications Image restoration is important field because where image quality matters it existed like astronomical imaging, defense application, medical imaging and security systems. In real life applications normally image quality disturbed due to image acquisition problems like satellite system images cannot get statically as source and object both moving so noise occurring. Image restoration process involves to deal with that corrupted image. Degradation model used to train filtering techniques for both detection and removal of noise phase. This degeneration is usually the result of excess scar or noise. Standard impulse noise injection techniques are used for standard images. Early noise removal techniques perform better for simple kind of noise but have some deficiencies somewhere in sense of detection or removal process, so our focus is on soft computing techniques non classic algorithmic approach and using (ANN) artificial neural networks. These Fuzzy rules-based techniques performs better than traditional filtering techniques in sense of edge preservation

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
