Images may be corrupted by salt and pepper impulse noise due to noisy sensors or channel transmission errors. A denoising method by detecting noise candidates and enforcing image sparsity with a patch-based sparse representation is proposed. First, noise candidates are detected and an initial guide image is obtained via an adaptive median filtering; second, a patch-based sparse representation is learnt from this guide image; third, a weightedl1-l1regularization method is proposed to penalize the noise candidates heavier than the rest of pixels. An alternating direction minimization algorithm is derived to solve the regularization model. Experiments are conducted for 30%∼90% impulse noise levels, and the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms total variation and Wavelet in terms of preserving edges and structural similarity to the noise-free images.

Images are often corrupted by impulse noise. In this paper, an alternating direction minimization with continuation algorithm is modified and iteratively used to remove the impulse noise in images by exploring its self-similarity. A patch-based nonlocal operator and sparse representation are married in thel1-l1optimization model to be solved. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms typical denoising methods in terms of preserving edges and textures for both salt-and-pepper noise and random-valued impulse noise. It can be also applied to suppress impulse noise-like artifacts in real mural images.

Image Details

Images may be corrupted by salt and pepper impulse noise during image acquisitions or transmissions. Although promising denoising performances have been recently obtained with sparse representations, how to restore high-quality images remains challenging and open. In this work, image sparsity is enhanced with a fast multiclass dictionary learning, and then both the sparsity regularization and robust data fidelity are formulated as minimizations of L0-L0 norms for salt and pepper impulse noise removal. Additionally, a numerical algorithm of modified alternating direction minimization is derived to solve the proposed denoising model. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the compared state-of-the-art ones on preserving image details and achieving higher objective evaluation criteria.

In this paper, we introduce a new method, impulse noise removal based on hybrid genetic algorithm (INRHGA) to remove impulse noise at different noise densities of noise while preserving the main features of the image. The proposed approach merges the genetic algorithm and methods for filtering images that are combined into the population as essential solutions to create a developed and improved population. A set of individuals is developed into a number of iterations using factors of crossover and mutation. Our method develops a group of images instead of a set of parameters from the filters. We then introduced some of the concepts and steps of it. The proposed algorithm is compared with some image denoising algorithm. By using Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), structural similarity (SSIM). For example, for Lenna image with 60% salt and pepper noise density, PSNR, SSIM results of AMF, MDBUTMFG and NAFSM methods are 20,39/ 28.74/ 29.85 and 0.5679/ 0.8312/ 0.8818 respectively, while PSNR, SSIM results of the proposed algorithm are 29.92 and 0.8838, respectively. Experimental results indicate that INRHGA is very effective and visually comparable with the above-mentioned methods at different levels of noise.

Median filter is a non-linear filter used in image processing for impulse noise removal. It finds its typical application in the situations where edges are to be preserved for higher level operations like segmentation, object recognition etc. This paper presents an accurate and efficient noise detection and filtering algorithm for impulse noise removal. The algorithm includes two stages: noise detection followed by noise filtering. The proposed algorithm replaces the noisy pixel by using  median value when other pixel values, 0’s or 255’s are present in the selected window and when all the pixel values are 0’s and 255’s then the noise pixel is replaced by mean value of all the elements present in the selected window. Similarly algorithm checks for five different conditions to preserve image details, object boundary in high level of noise densities. This median filter was designed, simulated and synthesized on the Xilinx family of FPGAs (XC3S500E of Spartan-3E). The VHDL was used to design the above 2-D median filter using ISE (Xilinx) tool & tested & compared for different grayscale images.

Digital signals are often contaminated by noise during signal acquisition and transmission for sewage sensing signal treatment such as aeration volume, oxygen content and water transparency etc. Sometimes, noise is a mixed one of gaussian noise and impulse noise. Unfortunately, existing denoising algorithms are often designed for removing single gaussian noise or impulse noise. In this paper, an efficient algorithm for mixed noise removal in signal is proposed, including space impulse noise removal and wavelet Gaussian noise removal. An impulse noise detection algorithm based on median filter is given to filter impulse signal, also a lifting wavelet was constructed by lifting original wavelet. The threshold based on lifting wavelet transform for signal was applied to denoising gaussian noise. Simulations are conducted on the presented algorithm, and the simulation result shows that this algorithm can remove mixed Gaussian and impulse noise in signal efficiently.

In this work, a procedure to remove the high density salt and pepper noise from a corrupted image is developed and to compare the output image with the original image through the image quality metrics. As a common practice the corrupted pixels are replaced by the median of neighboring pixel values by considering a constant number of neighboring pixels. But in this proposed method the corrupted pixels are identified and are replaced by the median of the neighboring pixel values which are adjustable, to preserve and improve the image quality metrics. This method makes a comparison between the corrupted and uncorrupted pixels and performs the median filtering process only on the corrupted ones. In this work a 3x3, 5x5 and 7x7 square neighborhood are used. The output images are observed with low neighborhood as well as high neighborhood pixel values. The calculation of PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and MSE (Mean square error) value for each dimension with different percentages are considered for the comparative analysis

Mammogram Images

Mammography imaging is one of the most widely used techniques for breast cancer screening and analysis of abnormalities. However, due to some technical difficulties during the time of acquisition and digital storage of mammogram images, impulse noise may be present. Therefore, detection and removals of impulse noise from the mammogram images are very essential for early detection and further diagnosis of breast cancer. In this paper, a novel adaptive trimmed median filter (ATMF) is proposed for impulse noise (salt & pepper (SNP)) detection and removal with an application to mammogram image denoising. Automatic switching mechanism for updating the Window of Interest (WoI) size from ([Formula: see text]) to ([Formula: see text]) or ([Formula: see text]) is performed. The proposed method is applied on publicly available mammogram images corrupted with varying SNP noise densities in the range 5%–90%. The performance of the proposed method is measured by various quantitative indices like peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE), image enhancement factor (IEF) and structural similarity index measure (SSIM). The comparative analysis of the proposed method is done with respect to other state-of-the-art noise removal methods viz., standard median filter (SMF), decision based median filter (DMF), decision based unsymmetric trimmed median filter (DUTMF), modified decision based unsymmetric trimmed median filter (MDUTMF) and decision based unsymmetric trimmed winsorized mean filter (DUTWMF). The superiority of the proposed method over other compared methods is well evident from the experimental results in terms of the quantitative indices (viz., PSNR, IEF and SSIM) and also from the visual quality of the denoised images. Paired t-test confirms the statistical significance of the higher PSNR values achieved by the proposed method as compared to the other counterpart techniques. The proposed method turned out to be very effective in denoising both high and low density noises present in (mammogram) images.
