For 4th industrial revolution and the development of various communication media, unmanned and automation are rapidly progressing in various fields. In particular, high-level image processing technology is required in fields such as smart factories, autonomous driving technology, and intelligent CCTV. Accordingly, the importance of preprocessing in a system operating based on an image is increasing, and an algorithm for effectively removing noise from an image is attracting attention. In this paper, we propose a filtering algorithm using noise judgment and a segmentation mask in a complex noise environment. The proposed algorithm calculates the final output by switching the segmentation mask suitable for filtering by performing noise judgment on the pixel values of the input image. Simulation was conducted to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, and the result image was compared and evaluated with the existing filter algorithm.

In recent image processing, active researches have been made along with rapid development in digital times. However, it is know that the image degradation occurs due to various external factors in the processes of image data processing, transmission and storage, and the main reason of image degradation is due to the noise. Typical methods to remove the noise are CWMF(center weighted median filter), A-TMF(alpha-trimmed mean filter) and AWMF(adaptive weighted median filter) and these methods have a little bit lacking noise reduction characteristics in mixed noise environments. Therefore, in order to remove the mixed noise, image restoration filter processing algorithm was suggested in this paper which processes by applying the median value of the mask and space weighted value after noise judgment. And for the objective judgment, it was compared with existing methods and PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) was used as a judgment standard.

With the development of IoT and AI technologies and media, various digital devices are being used, and unmanned and automation is progressing rapidly. In particular, high-level image processing technology is required in fields such as smart factories, autonomous driving technology, and intelligent CCTV. However, noise present in the image affects processes such as edge detection and object recognition, and causes deterioration of system accuracy and reliability. In this paper, we propose a filtering algorithm using fuzzy weights to reconstruct images damaged by complex noise. The proposed algorithm obtains a reference value using noise judgment and calculates the final output by applying a fuzzy weight. Simulation was conducted to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, and the result image was compared with the existing filter algorithm and evaluated.

Nowadays, the demand for multimedia services has grown with the rapid evolution in the digital era. But due to external causes in the process of processing, transmitting and storing image data, the images are damaged. One of the major causes of such damage is known to be noise. Some of the most commonly used methods for removing noise are CWMF(center weighted median filter), A-TMF(alpha-trimmed mean filter) and AWMF(adaptive weighted median filter). However, these filters all leave a bit to be desired in removing noise in a complex noise environment. Therefore this paper suggest an image restoration filter algorithm that first judges the noise and sets a adjustment weight based on the median value and distance of the mask to remove the complex noise. For an objective analysis, the results were compared against existing methods and the PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) was used as a reference.

본 논문은 복합재료로부터 얻어진 C-scan영상에서의 효과적인 잡음 제거에 관한 연구 내용이다. 복합재료에서의 결함을 검출하는 것은 여러 실용, 응용분야에서 관심을 가지는 주제이다. 초음파 영상은 대부분이 육안으로 정확한 판단을 하기에는 어렵고, 잡음의 영향으로 정확한 결함에 대한 영역을 파악하는데 문제를 발생시킨다. 결함의 정확한 판별을 위해서는 물체의 영역을 정확히 판별하는 것이 중요하지만 영상에서 잡음에 대한 문제를 우선 해결해야 한다. C-scan 영상에서의 배경과 결함의 경계영역을 보존하면서 잡음 제거를 위해 웨이브렛(Wavelet) 변환을 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 특히, C-scan 영상에서 Filtering을 적용하는데에 있어 드비시(Daubechies) Wavelet Filtering이 결함영역에 대한 좀 더 명확한 분석이 가능하게 함을 얘기하고자 한다.

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, modern society uses a diverse pool of devices. In this context, there is increasing interest in removing various kinds of noise arising in data transmission. However, it is difficult to restore image that damaged by mixed noise, and a digital filter that effectively restores an image according to the characteristics of the noise is required. In this paper, we propose a digital switching filter algorithm to remove mixed noise generated during digital image transmission. The proposed algorithm switches the filtering process through noise judgment and reconstructs the image using fuzzy weights and combined weights based on the pixel values inside the mask. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we compared it with existing filter algorithms through simulation. Filtering results were expanded and compared for visual evaluation, and PSNR comparison was used for quantitative evaluation.

Digital images are corrupted by noises, during signal acquisition and transmission. Amount those noises, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and impulse noise are most representative. The conventional image restoration algorithms are mostly taken in simple noise environment, but they didn't perform very well in tempter noises environment. So a modified image restoration algorithm, which can remove complex noises by using the intensity differences and spatial distances between center pixel and its neighbor pixels as parameters, is proposed in this paper. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can't only remove AWGN and impulse noise separately, but also performs well in preserving details of images as edge.

In modern society digital equipments that are related with various hardware and software are popularized, and digital images are widely applied in the field of production and scientific research. In general, however, images are degraded by the noise in the process of transmission and storage. In this paper, to reduce the influence of mixed noises, the algorithm in which noises in the space area are classified into impulse noise and Gaussian noise and this is processed by applying weighted value, while that is processed by modified nonlinear filter is proposed. And the excellence of the proposed algorithm is judged by PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio).

Image media is used for the internet, computers and digital cameras as part of the core services of multimedia. Digital images can be easily acquired and processed, due to the development of digital home appliances and personal computers' application software. However, image degradation occurs by various external causes in the acquisition, processing and transmitting process of digital images, and its main cause is known to be noise. Therefore, this study proposed and conducted the simulation of image restoration filter algorithm that processes impulse noise and Gaussian noise by applying Lagrange interpolation and spatial weighted method according to distance, respectively. The proposed algorithm improved 8.77[dB], 8.83[dB] and 10.02[dB], respectively, compared to existing A-TMF, AWMF and MMF, as a result of processing by applying the damaged Girl images to impulse noise(P=60%) and Gaussian noise(${\sigma}=10$).

One of the main techniques for diagnosing heart disease is by examining the electrocardiogram(ECG). Many studies on detecting the QRS complex, P, and T waves have been performed because meaningful information is contained in these parameters. However, the earlier detection techniques can not effectively extract those parameters from the ECG that is severely contaminated by noise source. In this paper, we performed the extracting parameters from and recovering the ECG signal using wavelets transform that has recently been applying to various fields.
