Bilateral filtering with adaptation to phase coherence and noise

In this paper, a bilateral filter with adaptive domain and range parameter is introduced for image denoising. Since the objective of denoising is to reduce noise as much as possible while preserving the perceptually important details, the parameters are adjusted in accordance with perceptual significance of pixels and noise level. The domain parameter is obtained by using the maximum and minimum moments of local phase coherence for being the representative of image details such as edges and corners of an image. The range parameter is estimated from the intensity-homogeneity measurements for their ability to represent the underlying noise. In addition, the filter is applied in an iterative manner to reduce the residual noise. Experiments are carried out using various standard images, and the results show that the proposed method is more effective in reducing additive white Gaussian noise as compared to several recently introduced denoising techniques in terms of the peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity index and visual quality. In addition, experiments performed using real noisy images reveal the ability of the proposed filter to provide denoised images of better visual quality.     

Artistic edge and corner enhancing smoothing.

Two important visual properties of paintings and painting-like images are the absence of texture details and the increased sharpness of edges as compared to photographic images. Painting-like artistic effects can be achieved from photographic images by filters that smooth out texture details, while preserving or enhancing edges and corners. However, not all edge preserving smoothers are suitable for this purpose. We present a simple nonlinear local operator that generalizes both the well known Kuwahara filter and the more general class of filters known in the literature as "criterion and value filter structure." This class of operators suffers from intrinsic theoretical limitations which give rise to a dramatic instability in presence of noise, especially on shadowed areas. Such limitations are discussed in the paper and overcome by the proposed operator. A large variety of experimental results shows that the output of the proposed operator is visually similar to a painting. Comparisons with existing techniques on a large set of natural images highlight conditions on which traditional edge preserving smoothers fail, whereas our approach produces good results. In particular, unlike many other well established approaches, the proposed operator is robust to degradations of the input image such as blurring and noise contamination.     

Propagated guided image filtering for edge-preserving smoothing

This paper proposes an edge-preserving smoothing filtering algorithm based on guided image filter (GF). GF is a well-known edge-preserving smoothing filter, but is ineffective in certain cases. The proposed GF enhancement provides a better solution for various noise levels associated with image degradation. In addition, halo artifacts, the main drawback of GF, are well suppressed using the proposed method. In our proposal, linear GF coefficients are updated sequentially in the spatial domain by using a new cost function, whose solution is a weighted average of the neighboring coefficients. The weights are determined differently depending on whether the pixels belong to the edge region, and become zero when a neighborhood pixel is located within a region separated from the center pixel. This propagation procedure is executed twice (from upper-left to lower-right, and vice versa) to obtain noise-free edges. Finally, the filtering output is computed using the updated coefficient values. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm preserves edges better than the existing algorithms, while reducing halo artifacts even in highly noisy images. In addition, the algorithm is less sensitive to user parameters compared to GF and other modified GF algorithms.     

Image denoising using total least squares.

In this paper, we present a method for removing noise from digital images corrupted with additive, multiplicative, and mixed noise. An image patch from an ideal image is modeled as a linear combination of image patches from the noisy image. We propose to fit this model to the real-world image data in the total least square (TLS) sense, because the TLS formulation allows us to take into account the uncertainties in the measured data. We develop a method to reduce the contribution from the irrelevant image patches, which will sharpen the edges and reduce edge artifacts at the same time. Although the proposed algorithm is computationally demanding, the image quality of the output image demonstrates the effectiveness of the TLS algorithms.     

Monochromatic-Based Method for Impulse Noise Detection and Suppression in Color Images

A new method to detect and reduce the impulse noise in color images is presented in this paper. The method consists of two stages: detection and filtering. Since each of the individual channels (components) of the color image can be considered as a monochrome image, both stages are applied to each channel separately, and then the individual results are combined into one output image. The corrupted pixels are detected in the first stage based on a proposed innovative switching technique. The noise-free pixels are copied to their corresponding locations in the output image. In the second stage, average filtering is applied only to those pixels which are determined to be noisy in the first stage, and only noise-free pixel values are involved in calculating this average. The size of the sliding window depends on the estimated noise density and is very small even for high noise densities. The proposed method is effective in noise reduction while preserving edge details and color chromaticity. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms all the tested existing state-of-the-art methods used in digital color image restoration in both standard objective measurements and perceived image quality.
