A Study on a Liner Filter for Restoration of Images Corrupted by Mixed Noises

Both impluse noise and AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise) are easily corrupted into images, during signal transmission and acquisition. Thus, an algorithm for removing both noises is represented in this paper. An impulse noise detection step can effectively separate impulse noise with AWGN, then in the noise filtering step, by using several parameters, not only impulse noise but also AWGN can be reduced. The value of those parameters are automatically changeable when the standard deviation of AWGN, the impulse noise density, and the spatial distances between pixels are different. Results of computer simulations show that the proposed approach performs better than other conventional filters.
