The article proposes an adaptive, noise-exclusive and assessment-based fuzzy switching median filter for high intensity impulse noise. The filter adaptively changes the size of sliding window in accordance with noise intensity and noise-exclusive operation is performed only on noise-free pixels. These steps thus preserve the image details effectively. Judicious assessment of the previously restored pixels is made in order to use them in replacing the noisy pixels and further improve the efficiency of filter. With these possibilities, fuzzy switching median filter-based approach is also incorporated for improving the performance. Experimental results justified the efficacy of the proposed fuzzy-based filtering method qualitatively and quantitatively for twelve different highly corrupted noisy images, and showed significant improvement to existing algorithms.


The evaluation of the hazards to hearing experienced by exposure of the ear to noise has resulted in the specification of the physical characteristics of the noise in terms of damage risk criteria. In the case of steady state and relatively long on-period intermittent noises the researches carried out have resulted in the formulation of many such criteria (Glorig, Ward & Nixon 1962; Burns 1965; C. H. A. B. A. 1965? Kryter, Ward, Miller & Eldredge 1966), the interpretation of which in terms of an internationally agreed standard is at present being undertaken by the International Organization for Standardization (I. S. O.). For exposure to very short duration steady-state noise, for noise superimposed with impulsive components, and for high-intensity impulsive noise, there is little information regarding damage risk. What does exist and the problems associated with the assessment of deafness due to impulse noise will be discussed in this paper. It must be borne in mind, however, that no criterion will clearly demark safety from danger and, being based on the light of the best available knowledge, may be subject to change as new evidence becomes available.

Classic theories for linear monopole noise generated by fluid injection have been established and can be found in several literature references. A simple example is the analytical expression of peak sound pressure at far field, which is shown to be proportional to the derivative of the mass flow rate history. However, in cases of high-intensity (impulsive) noise and for near-field regions, these theories become inapplicable. It was found that when the gas injection reached a certain level of intensity, a shock wave could form in the near field and the transient flow field evolved quickly with time. It is well known that a discontinuous mass flow rate history is a feature of a moving shock wave; therefore, the derivatives do not mathematically exist. With the presence of flow discontinuity, a different theory should be established or a different means of study should be used to investigate the properties of monopole impulse noise. By performing direct aeroacoustic simulations, the evolution and propagation of an impulse noise generated by a high-intensity monopole source were numerically investigated. The effects of a few key parameters of the monopole source on the leading pressure wave were determined. It was determined that monopole impulse noise is a physical process sandwiched between the linear acoustic waves generated by a pulsating sphere and the blast waves generated by weapons. Monopole impulse noise involves the degeneration of the shock waves into intense sound waves.
