In modern society, various video devices such as CCTV and black boxes are used for convenience. However, noise is frequently generated in the process of transmitting and receiving video images and video signals photographed at night. If such noise is not eliminated, the problem that the image is difficult to identify is generated. Accordingly, noise elimination of images in the image information is an indispensable step. Salt and Pepper noises are typical impulse noises among image noises. Previous research has been carried out as a method for eliminating noise, and CWMF, MMF and A-TMF are typical methods. In common, such a filter exhibits excellent performance in a low-density noise area, but a disadvantage is that noise elimination performance in a high-density noise area is somewhat insufficient. Accordingly, the proposed algorithm uses the inflection point of the histogram graph to separate areas and remove singular points, and proposes a weighting filter utilizing histogram distribution. PSNR was used for objective judgment.

Through the 4th Industrial Revolution, various digital equipments are being distributed, and accordingly, the importance of data processing is increasing. As data processing has a great effect on the reliability of equipment, its importance is increasing, and various studies are being conducted. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to remove AWGN in consideration of the noise in the image. The proposed algorithm is used in the filtering process by inferring the standard deviation of the image noise. The noise is removed by dividing the filter for the high frequency component and the filter for the low frequency component compared with the standard deviation of the filtering mask. The proposed algorithm is simulated with the existing methods for evaluation and compared and analyzed by difference image, PSNR and profile. The proposed algorithm minimizes the effect of noise and preserves the important characteristics of the image and shows the performance of efficient noise removal.

In this paper, a novel descreening method using HOG(histogram of gradient)-based adaptive smoothing filter is proposed. Conventional edge-oriented smoothing methods does not provide enough smoothing to the halftone image due to the edge-like characteristic of the halftone noise. Moreover, clustered-dot halftoning method, which is commonly used in printing tends to create Moire pattern because of the intereference in color channels. Therefore, the proposed method uses HOG to distinguish edges and the amount of smoothing to be performed on the halftone image is then calculated according to the magnitude of the HOG in the edge and edge normal orientation. The proposed method was tested on various scanned halftone materials, and the results show that it effectively removes halftone noises as well as Moire pattern while preserving image details.

The information captured by imaging devices such as CCD or CIS may contain external noises through the processes of passing signals or storing images. In this paper, we propose a Modified Sigma Filter (MSF) algorithm to reduce such noises. In experiment, we verified that our MSF algorithm showed better performance in PSNR and 1D plot of simulation results compared with Gaussian Filter (GF), Local Sigma Filter (LSF). Tested images include random Gaussian Noises.

As society has developed rapidly toward a highly advanced digital information age, a multimedia communication service for acquisition, transmission and storage of image data as well as voice has being commercialized. However, image data is always corrupted by various noises during image processing, so researches for removing noises have been continued until now. There are diverse types of noise on the image including salt and pepper noise, AWGN, and mixed noise. Hence, the filter algorithm for the image recovery was proposed that salt and pepper noise was processed by linear interpolation, histogram weighted values and median filter after defining the noise to lessen the impact of mixed noise added in the image, and AWGN was processed by the pixel information of local mask establishing the weighted values in this study. In addition, the algorithm was compared with the conventional methods for objectively and used the PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) as the basis of the determination.

화질의 개선을 위해 잡음을 제거하는 기술이 많이 개발되고 있으며 그 기술들 중에 효과적으로 사용되고 있는 것 하나가 양방향 필터이다. 양방향 필터는 거리에 대한 가중치와 화소 값에 대한 가중치를 모두 고려하기 때문에 경계 부분을 보존하면서 잡음을 제거하는 것이 가능하다. 필터를 적용함으로 잡음이 제거되지만 본 논문에서는 그보다 나은 결과를 위해서 경계 부분을 캐니 에지 검출기로 검출하고 강조함으로써 양방향 필터의 장점을 전보다 부각시켜 이전보다 효과적인 화질개선 방법을 제시하고자 하였다.

Noise in image processing has a direct effect on the quality of the image, and adversely affects the processing of the system including algorithms such as image segmentation, edge detection, and image recognition. Therefore, noise reduction plays an important role in the preprocessing process. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to remove noise in high density of Salt and Pepper noise. The proposed algorithm removes noise by gradually expanding the filtering mask according to the density of the noise, and shows excellent noise cancellation performance even in a high density region. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we compared and analyzed the existing method and the proposed algorithm through simulation.

본 논문에서는 2차의 격자 IIR 노치 필터를 이용하여DS-CDMA 시스템에서 협대역 간섭신호를 제거한다. 본 노치필터는 구조가 간단하고 다양한 간섭 신호 모델에 따라 필터의 계수를 조절할 수 있어 간섭신호의 효과적인 제거가 가능하다. 노치필터의 앞단에는 주파수 추정부를 평행하게 구성하여 간섭신호 주파수의 위치와 파워를 검출한다. 제안된 적응 필터링 알고리듬은 이러한 정보를 이용하여 노치필터의 주파수를 조절하고 간섭 신호의 파워와 대역폭에 따라 노치의 넓이와 깊이를 조절한다. 즉, IIR 노치 필터의 특성을 이론적으로 분석하여 출력 신호대 잡음비를 입력과 필터의 파라미터에 관한 수식으로 유도하였고 이를 이용하여 주어진 입력에 따른 최적의 필터 파라미터를 구하여 적용시키는 것이다. 입력의 간섭 주파수와 파워를 검출하는 방법에는 여 러가지가 있지만 본 논문에서는 비교적 간단한 IIR ALE[6]를 사용하였다. 제안된 알고리듬을 사용한 결과 신호대 잡음비와 에러율에 있어서 FIR 필터를 사용한 기존의 방법[4]에 비하여 좋은 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다.
