Adaptive Threshold Median Filter for Multiple-Impulse Noise

Attenuating the noises plays an essential role in the image processing. Almost all the traditional median filters concern the removal of impulse noise having a single layer, whose noise gray level value is constant. In this paper, a new adaptive median filter is proposed to handle those images corrupted not only by single layer noise. The adaptive threshold median filter （ATMF） has been developed by combining the adaptive median filter （AMF） and two dynamic thresholds. Because of the dynamic threshold being used, the ATMF is able to balance the removal of the multiple-impulse noise and the quality of image. Comparison of the proposed method with traditional median filters is provided. Some visual examples are given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed filter.     

一种改进的自适应中值滤波算法

针对传统自适应中值滤波算法的不足,文中提出了一种改进的自适应中值滤波方法,以有效的去除图像中的高密度脉冲噪声。第一,对于噪声点的检测,首先利用极大值和极小值的数量差找出可疑的噪声点,再利用邻域像素的相似性判断可疑点是否为噪声点。第二,对于滤波中值的计算,先把滤波窗口内具有相同灰度值的极值点压缩到一个,然后再计算中值。实验结果表明,该算法的滤波效果优于传统自适应中值滤波,且具有较好的稳定性。     

一种新的自适应多级中值滤波器

本文在多级中值滤波器（MLM）的框架下引入了自适应的机制，提出一种新的自适应多级中值滤器（简记AMLM），其中，自适应机制的建立借助于两个自适应子窗口，这两个子窗口根据各基本子窗口的顺序统计量（包括中值）的比较关系．以这些基本子窗口为基本单元自适应构成。新的滤波器与MLM有非常相近的细节保护特性，但是比MLM的滤噪能力有较大提高，此外，与MLM相同，AMLM不需要任何关于信号及噪声的先验知识。本文分析了新滤波器的特性，并给出了显示滤波器效果的实验结果。

Noise Adaptive Fuzzy Switching Median Filter for Salt-and-Pepper Noise Reduction

This letter presents a novel two-stage noise adaptive fuzzy switching median (NAFSM) filter for salt-and-pepper noise detection and removal. Initially, the detection stage will utilize the histogram of the corrupted image to identify noise pixels. These detected “noise pixels” will then be subjected to the second stage of the filtering action, while “noise-free pixels” are retained and left unprocessed. Then, the NAFSM filtering mechanism employs fuzzy reasoning to handle uncertainty present in the extracted local information as introduced by noise. Simulation results indicate that the NAFSM is able to outperform some of the salt-and-pepper noise filters existing in literature.      

Think Parallel: Teaching Parallel Programming Today

Parallel computing is rapidly entering mainstream computing, and multicore processors can now be found in the heart of supercomputers, desktop computers, and laptops. Consequently, applications will increasingly need to be parallelized to fully exploit the multicore processor throughput gains that are becoming available. Unfortunately, writing parallel code is more complex than writing serial code. An introductory parallel computing course aims to introduce students to this technology shift and to explain that parallelism calls for a different way of thinking and new programming skills. The course covers theoretical topics and offers practical experience in writing parallel algorithms on state-of-the-art parallel computers, parallel programming environments, and tools.

提出了一种基于先检测、后滤波的椒盐噪声滤除算法．将像素值为0或255附近的像素点作为疑似噪声点,其余点为信号点．信号点不做任何处理,以保留更多的图像细节．而对于疑似噪声点,首先用改进的自适应极值中值方法进行噪声检测,并将检测结果记录在一个二值矩阵flag中,其中信号点记为1,噪声点记为0．然后根据图像像素值矩阵与flag的点积进行自适应中值滤波处理．实验结果表明,不仅对真实含噪图像处理有很强的适应性,而且对噪声密度高的图像,能在有效去除椒盐噪声的同时保护图像细节．在不同噪声率下均优于标准中值（SMF）滤波法及其一些改进方法,在噪声密度为10％～90％其峰值信噪比（PSNR）平均提高6dB．     

Fine-tuned High-speed Implementation of a GPU-based Median Filter

Median filtering is a well-known method used in a wide range of application frameworks as well as a standalone filter, especially for salt-and-pepper denoising. It is able to highly reduce the power of noise while minimizing edge blurring. Currently, existing algorithms and implementations are quite efficient but may be improved as far as processing speed is concerned, which has led us to further investigate the specificities of modern GPUs. In this paper, we propose the GPU implementation of fixed-size kernel median filters, able to output up to 1.85 billion pixels per second on C2070 Tesla cards. Based on a Branchless Vectorized Median class algorithm and implemented through memory fine tuning and the use of GPU registers, our median drastically outperforms existing implementations, resulting, as far as we know, in the fastest median filter to date.

Scalable Programming Models for Massively Multicore Processors

Including multiple cores on a single chip has become the dominant mechanism for scaling processor performance. Exponential growth in the number of cores on a single processor is expected to lead in a short time to mainstream computers with hundreds of cores. Scalable implementations of parallel algorithms will be necessary in order to achieve improved single-application performance on such processors. In addition, memory access will continue to be an important limiting factor on achieving performance, and heterogeneous systems may make use of cores with varying capabilities and performance characteristics. An appropriate programming model can address scalability and can expose data locality while making it possible to migrate application code between processors with different parallel architectures and variable numbers and kinds of cores. We survey and evaluate a range of multicore processor architectures and programming models with a focus on GPUs and the Cell BE processor. These processors have a large number of cores and are available to consumers today, but the scalable programming models developed for them are also applicable to current and future multicore CPUs.

Ds Signal Data Detection Using Matched Filter with Median Filter and with Transversal Filter in CW Jamming

Analysis and simulation results of a DS spread spectrum system in which data detection is based on a matched filter and a median filter are introduced. The results are compared with a simple linear interference cancellation method using a transversal filter. The probability of bit error is calculated in the AWGN channel and with continuous tone jamming when ideal autocorrelation function of the spreading code is assumed. The effect of CW jamming can be eliminated by both methods, so the comparisons are made in the AWGN channel. It is concluded that the median filter causes a loss compared with the transversal filter. The loss is about 1.2 dB when the window length is the minimum. The loss decreases as the window length increases, being, e.g., about 0.35 dB with window length 7 and 0.1 dB with length 19. Therefore, no other cancellation method is needed in data detection when the median filter is already used as an aiding device in the code acquisition process.     

Highly Robust Error Correction byConvex Programming

This paper discusses a stylized communications problem where one wishes to transmit a real-valued signal (a block of pieces of information) to a remote receiver. We ask whether it is possible to transmit this information reliably when a fraction of the transmitted codeword is corrupted by arbitrary gross errors, and when in addition, all the entries of the codeword are contaminated by smaller errors (e.g., quantization errors). We show that if one encodes the information as where is a suitable coding matrix, there are two decoding schemes that allow the recovery of the block of pieces of information with nearly the same accuracy as if no gross errors occurred upon transmission (or equivalently as if one had an oracle supplying perfect information about the sites and amplitudes of the gross errors). Moreover, both decoding strategies are very concrete and only involve solving simple convex optimization programs, either a linear program or a second-order cone program. We complement our study with numerical simulations showing that the encoder/decoder pair performs remarkably well.
