A method for the preliminary processing of MRI images of the heart that allows for the elimination of fluctuation and impulse noise from useful signals is proposed. These types of noise are due to the regular geometric structure of the photoelectric elements of the MRI scanner matrix and the structure of the signal transmission channel. The aim of this work is to develop a comprehensive mathematical model for eliminating noise in the signal of an MRI scanner. In this work, mathematical models of linear and median filtering of impulse noise, fluctuation, and geometric noise are implemented. The mathematical models consist of the combined use of linear and median filters for recording MRI images of the heart. In the experiments, real MRI images of the heart from six patients with different diseases were used after noise was added to them. We were able to eliminate the impulse noise, geometric noise, and fluctuation noise in the MRI images by applying our filtering techniques. The filtering technique not only removed the noise, but also increased the contrast of the cancerous volumetric heterogeneous formations in the heart region.

<p>A modified mixed Gaussian plus impulse image denoising algorithm based on weighted encoding with image sparsity and nonlocal self-similarity priors regularization is proposed in this paper. The encoding weights and the priors imposed on the images are incorporated into a variational framework to treat more complex mixed noise distribution. Such noise is characterized by heavy tails caused by impulse noise which needs to be eliminated through proper weighting of encoding residual. The outliers caused by the impulse noise has a significant effect on the encoding weights. Hence a more accurate residual encoding error initialization plays the important role in overall denoising performance, especially at high impulse noise rates. In this paper, outliers free initialization image, and an easier to implement a parameter-free procedure for updating encoding weights have been proposed. Experimental results demonstrate the capability of the proposed strategy to recover images highly corrupted by mixed Gaussian plus impulse noise as compared with the state of art denoising algorithm. The achieved results motivate us to implement the proposed algorithm in practice.</p>

SummaryStatistical and deterministic properties of median filters are briefly discussed and their inherent advantages as a prospective tool in scintigraphic data processing are pointed out. The ability of median filters of suppressing impulse noise while the edge-like features of an image are preserved, is demonstrated on phantom data. The residual high-frequency noise remaining after median filtering can be subsequently reduced by standard smoothing procedures. A simple algorithm, made up of the superposition of a median and an averaging filter, is presented and shown to be a promising candidate in the quest for fast and easy-to-implement processing routine.

Suppress Noise

In image digitization and transmission, images often suffer contamination inevitably. The noises in images often consist of Gaussian noise and impulse noise. The common denoising algorithms are capable of removing single one of them. In order to remove those two types of noise, a composite algorithm is proposed. Firstly, based on median filter, an impulse noise detection algorithm is used to filter impulse noise. Secondly, adaptive directional lifting wavelet (ADL) and normal lifting wavelet is combined to suppress noise from image signal and protect the texture edge from loss simultaneously. Meanwhile an improved half-soft threshold is used for normal lifting wavelet. At last, simulations show that this technology can suppress Gaussian and impulse noise in image efficiently．

Obtaining high quality images is very important in many areas of applied sciences, but images are usually polluted by noise in the process of generation, transmission and acquisition. In recent years, wavelet analysis achieves significant results in the field of image de-noising. However, most of the studies of noise-induced phenomena assume that the noise source is Gaussian. The use of mixed Gaussian and impulse noise is rare, mainly because of the difficulties in handling them. In the process of image de-noising, the noise model’s parameter estimation is a key issue, because the accuracy of the noise model’s parameters could affect the de-noising quality. In the case of mixed Gaussian noises, EM algorithm is an iterative algorithm, which simplifies the maximum likelihood equation. This thesis takes wavelet analysis and statistics theory as tools, studies on mixed noise image de-noising, provides two classes of algorithms for dealing with a special type of non-Gaussian noise, mixed Gaussian and Pepper & Salt noise.

Mixed Noise Removal

A mixed noise removal algorithm combining adaptive directional weighted mean filter and improved adaptive anisotropic diffusion model is proposed. Firstly, a noise classification method is introduced to divide all pixels into two types as the pixels corrupted by impulse noise and the pixels corrupted by Gaussian noise. Then an adaptive directional weighted mean filter is developed to remove impulse noise, which can adaptively select the optimal direction template from twelve direction templates and replace the gray level of each impulse noise corrupted pixel by the weighted mean gray level of pixels on the optimal direction template. Finally, an improved adaptive anisotropic diffusion model is developed to remove Gaussian noise in the initial denoised image, which can finely classify image features as smooth regions, edges, corners, and isolated noises by characteristic parameters and variance parameter and conduct adaptive diffusion for different image features by designing reasonable eigenvalues of diffusion tensor. A large number of experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms many existing main mixed noise removal methods in terms of image denoising and detail preservation.

Eye Location

A method for driver fatigue detection based on eye locating was researched in this paper.. The eye location was achieved by combining gray information with shape information, and matched the eye template of image with which was in the open state. To observe images within a certain time interval was to identify the open or closed state of the drivers' eyes, so as to determine if they have fatigue driving. The results showed that the algorithm could suppress gaussian noise and impulse noise very effectively, and had better filtering performance than the standard median filters..
