Image Restoration by Lifting‐Based Wavelet Domain E‐Median Filter

In this paper, we propose a method of applying a lifting‐based wavelet domain e‐median filter (LBWDEMF) for image restoration. LBWDEMF helps in reducing the number of computations. An e‐median filter is a type of modified median filter that processes each pixel of the output of a standard median filter in a binary manner, keeping the output of the median filter unchanged or replacing it with the original pixel value. Binary decision‐making is controlled by comparing the absolute difference of the median filter output and the original image to a preset threshold. In addition, the advantage of LBWDEMF is that probabilities of encountering root images are spread over sub‐band images, and therefore the e‐median filter is unlikely to encounter root images at an early stage of iterations and generates a better result as iteration increases. The proposed method transforms an image into the wavelet domain using lifting‐based wavelet filters, then applies an e‐median filter in the wavelet domain, transforms the result into the spatial domain, and finally goes through one spatial domain e‐median filter to produce the final restored image. Moreover, in order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method we compare the result obtained using the proposed method to those using a spatial domain median filter (SDMF), spatial domain e‐median filter (SDEMF), and wavelet thresholding method. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to SDMF, SDEMF, and wavelet thresholding in terms of image restoration.     

Topological median filters

This paper describes the definition and testing of a new type of median filter for images. The topological median filter implements some existing ideas and some new ideas on fuzzy connectedness to improve, over a conventional median filter, the extraction of edges in noise. The concept of alpha-connectivity is defined and used to create an algorithm for computing the degree of connectedness of a pixel to all the other pixels in an arbitrary neighborhood. The resulting connectivity map of the neighborhood effectively disconnects peaks in the neighborhood that are separated from the center pixel by a valley in the brightness topology. The median of the connectivity map is an estimate of the median of the peak or plateau to which the center pixel belongs. Unlike the conventional median filter, the topological median is relatively unaffected by disconnected features in the neighborhood of the center pixel. Four topological median filters are defined. Qualitative and statistical analyses of the four filters are presented. It is demonstrated that edge detection can be more accurate on topologically median filtered images than on conventionally median filtered images.     

Fast impulsive noise removal

A generic n-dimensional filter with the primary purpose of eliminating impulsive-like noise is presented. This recursive nonlinear filter is composed of two conditional rules, which are applied independently, in any order, one after the other. It identifies noisy items by inspection of their surrounding neighborhood, and afterwards it replaces their values with the most "conservative" ones out of their neighbors' values. In this way, no new values are introduced and the histogram distribution range is conserved. This n-dimensional filter can be decomposed recursively to a lower dimensional space, each time generating two sets of n(n-1)-dimensional filters. This study, which focuses on the case of two-dimensional signals (gray scale images), explores one possible implementation of this new filter and orients the evaluation of its performance toward the median filter, as this filter is the basis of many more sophisticated filters for impulsive noise reduction. Tests were carried out using both real and artificial images. We found this new filter to be much faster than the median filter while performing comparably in terms of both image information conservation and noise reduction, which suggests that it could replace the median filter for the preliminary processing included in state-of-the-art noise removal filters. This new filter should either eliminate or attenuate most noisy pixels in synthetic and natural images not excessively contaminated. It has a slight smoothing effect on nonnoisy image regions. In addition, it is scalable, easily implemented, and adaptable to specific applications.

带修正因子的均值和中值滤波算法研究

大部分自然图像同时包含高斯噪声和椒盐噪声,简单的运用传统的滤波算法不能得到理想的滤波效果。为了解决混合噪声图像的滤波问题,分别针对以高斯噪声为主的混合噪声图像和以椒盐噪声为主的混合噪声图像,提出了带修正因子的均值滤波算法和带修正因子的中值滤波算法。这两种算法是在修正后的阿尔法均值滤波算法的基础上做了两方面的改进：首先,提出在图像邻域内为不同灰度值的像素点给出归一化的权值,用这些权值和其对应的灰度值共同决定滤波输出。其次,所设计的权值可以用修正因子来进行微调,来获得理想的滤波效果。实验证明,其处理效果优于传统滤波算法和修正后的阿尔法均值滤波算法。

Vector median deblurring filter for colour image restoration

A new technique is described which couples median filtering and image deblurring techniques to filter noisy images without introducing defocusing side effects. To deal with colour images a vector median filtering procedure is proposed. Using this procedure a better edge preserving filter is obtained which does not introduce new colours. The deblurring operation is performed componentwise by fitting an ARMA model to the image. The AR part of the model estimates the image and the MA part estimates the blurring function. Finally, the MA part is inverted and applied to remove the blur introduced by the median filter.<>     

Erratum to: Multi-scale directional-filtering-based method for follicular lymphoma grading

A new decision-based algorithm has been proposed for the restoration of digital images which are highly contaminated by the saturated impulse noise (i.e., salt-and-pepper noise). The proposed denoising algorithm performs filtering operation only to the corrupted pixels in the image, keeping uncorrupted pixels intact. The present study has used a coupled window scheme for the removal of high density noise. It has used sliding window of increasing dimension, centered at any pixel and replaced the noisy pixels consecutively by the median value of the window. However, if the entire pixels in the window are noisy, then the dimension of sliding window is increased in order to obtain the noise-free pixels for median calculation. Consequently, this algorithm has been found to be able to remove the high density salt-and-pepper noise and also preserved the fine details of the four images, Lena, Elaine, Rhythm, and Sunny, used as test images in this study (The latter two real-life images have been acquired using Sony: Steady Shot DSC- S3000). Experimentally, it has been found that the proposed algorithm yields better peak signal-to-noise ratio, image enhancement factor, structural similarity index measure and image quality index, compared with the other state-of-art median-based filters viz. standard median filter, adaptive median filter, progressive switched median filter, modified decision-based algorithm and modified decision-based unsymmetric trimmed median filter.
