Abstract

Image degradation caused by the impulse noise is generated in the process of image transmission and so on. It has been studied by many researchers in order to remove these noise. The representative impulse noise removal method includes SM filter. Though SM filter will indicate errors by the increasing of impulse noise density. Therefore, in this paper, in order to preserve the edges of the image, and reduce the distortion of the image, an improved adaptive median filter algorithm is proposed. In the simulation results, the algorithm showed excellent results in all several areas, and the PSNR is used as the criterion of evaluation.

영상전송 등의 과정에서 임펄스 잡음에 의한 영상의 열화가 발생하며, 이러한 잡음을 제거하기 위해 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 현재 대표적인 임펄스 잡음제거 방법에는 SM 필터(Standard Median Filter)가 있지만, SM 필터는 임펄스 잡음 밀도가 커짐에 따라 에지 영역에 오류를 나타낸다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 영상의 에지를 보존하기 위해 또한 영상의 왜곡을 줄이기 위해 변형된 적응 메디안 필터 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 제안한 알고리즘은 여러 영역에서 모두 우수한 결과를 나타내었고, 평가기준으로 PSNR을 사용하였다.
