  • Noise Reduction Using Enhanced Bilateral Filter
    影像與識別 2006, Vol.12 No.4 Noise Reduction Using Enhanced Bilatera… Noise Reduction Using Enhanced Bilateral Filter Yen-Lan Huang, Chiou-Shann Fuh Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, 10617, R.O.C [email protected] Abstract. Noise reduction is an important block in the image pipeline. Noticing noise in an image is unpleasant. A good noise reduction method can reduce the noise level and preserve the detail of the image. In this paper, we introduce some basic noise types and traditional noise reduction methods. Then we create photometric functions and geometric functions based on the concept of the bilateral filter. We use experiments to show our proposed methods are more robust to salt-and- pepper noise. Besides, we show that our methods take less time compared with Gaussian bilateral filter. 1. Introduction 1.1 Motivation In order to get a clean and sharp image, noise reduction is the main issue in image pipeline. Many filters were used to reduce noises but also blur the whole image because image details and noises are difficult to distinguish by computer. Filtering is the most popular method to reduce noise. In the spatial domain, filtering depends on location and its neighbors. In the frequency domain, filtering multiplies the whole image and the mask. Some filters operate in spatial domain, some filters are mathematically derived from frequency domain to spatial domain, other filters are designed for special noise, combination of two or more filters, or derivation from other filters. C. Tomasi and R. Manduchi introduce a noise reduction filtering method called bilateral filtering [5].

  • Image Denoising by Utilizing Bilateral Filter Via Box Filtering Approach
    IJRRAS 32 (3) ● September 2017 www.arpapress.com/Volumes/Vol32Issue3/IJRRAS_32_3_02.pdf IMAGE DENOISING BY UTILIZING BILATERAL FILTER VIA BOX FILTERING APPROACH Sheeraz Ahmed Solangi 1,*, Qunsheng Cao1 & Shumaila Solangi2 1 Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA), Nanjing 211106, China 2 IMCS, University of Sindh, Jamshoro 76080, Pakistan ABSTRACT Box and Gaussian filters are suitable and typically perform well in applications where amount of smoothing required is small. These types of filters are quite optimum in eliminating small amount of noise from natural images. However, when the floor of the noise is large, and one is essential to average more pixels to suppress the noise, so these type of filters begin to over smooth sharp image features such as corners and edges. To overcome this shortcoming the bilateral filter has been proposed. In this paper we have presented new approach by utilizing bilateral filter via box filter method. The proposed method significantly improve the bilateral filter performance by simply implementing pre- processing step of box filtering at almost no additional cost. Keywords: Bilateral filtering, Box filtering, Image denoising, Edge-preserving 1. INTRODUCTION The bilateral filter (BF) is a kind of non-linear weighted averaging filter [1]. The methodology of bilateral filter is that the weights of the filter is totally depend on the spatial distance and the photometric similarity distance with respect to the center pixel. While doing the spatial smoothing the bilateral filter have the capability to preserve the edges that is the main characteristic of this filter. The performance of bilateral filter is relatively effective in denoising images degraded with small amounts of Gaussian noise.

In the sources of noise in images arise during image acquisition, digitization or transmission. Now study for removing fixed impulse noise from color images. Impulse noise is produced by errors in the data transmission generate in noisy sensors or message channels, or by errors through the data capture from digital cameras. Several nonlinear filters have been proposed for renovation of images impure by salt and pepper noise. Among these standard median filter has been recognized as trustworthy method to remove the salt and pepper noise without harmful the edge details.

In low noisy level, bilateral filtering is better than TV denoising for it reveals better SNR and sharper edges. However, in high noisy level, TV denoising outperforms bilateral filtering in terms of SNR and more details of non edges. It is very difficult to perform denoising of a very noisy image for the resulted image rarely improves its SNR comparing to the original noisy one. Even though Total variation image denoising could be used for a very noisy image, the resulted SNR still needs some improvement. In this research, the K-means-based Bilateral-TV denoising (K-BiTV) approach using pixel-wise bilateral filtering and TV denoising has been derived based on the gradient magnitude calculation of the guideline map using K-means clusters.

  • A Hybrid Filtering Techniques for Noise Removal in Color Images
    International Journal of Innovations in Engineering and Technology (IJIET) A Hybrid Filtering Techniques for Noise Removal in Color Images Monika Saini Department of Computer Science and Engineering KIIT College of Engineering, Gurgaon, Haryana Sangita Yadav Department of Computer Science and Engineering Yadhuvanshi Institute of Technology, Narnaul, Haryana Sharvan Rewri Assistant Professor KIIT College of Engineering, Gurgaon, Haryana Abstract- Noise is an important factor that influences image quality which is mainly produced in the processes of image acquirement and transmission. Noise reduction is necessary for us to do image processing and image interpretation so as to acquire useful information that we want. Because the working status of image transmitter is influenced by varied of factors, such as the environment of image acquired, different noises can be dealt with in different ways. Through the analysis of OCT images, its difference can help us to choose different methods to do noise reduction while the information of the OCT image is reduced to be the most. This paper illustrates some methods of noise reduction and takes one test image as an example. Since this image was affected by noise, the noise reduction methods of this OCT image are mainly studied. Then, MSE and PSNR are calculated to evaluate the processed image. Results suggest that the methods used in this paper are suitable in processing this noise.
