In this research we propose the design of the Order Statistic-Adaptive Weighted Average Hybrid(OS-AWAH) filter which can suppress noise from the corrupted image sequence effectively while preserving the image structure. The proposed filter combines the desirable properties of the order static based spatial filter which can preserve the image structure while reducing noise and the adaptive weighted average based temporal filter which can adapt the filtering weights according to the amount of motion without motion estimation. Performance characteristics of the OS-AWAH filter in noisy sequences containing moving step edges are investigated throuth computer simulations and compared with the median based filters such as 3-D WM(weighted median) filter, MMF (multistage median filter), ADCWM(adaptive directional center weighted median) filter. The visual evaluations are also carried out by applyin gthe filters to the real images. The statistical analysis and experimental reslts show that the OS-AWAH filter is effective in preserving image structures while suppressing noise effectively without motion compensation preprocessing.

Digital images are easily corrupted by noise during the data transmission, data capture and data processing. A technical method of noise analyzing and adaptive filtering for reducing of quantum noise in medical radio-fluoroscopy images is presented. By adjusting the characteristics of the filter according to local statistics around each pixel of the image as moving windowing, it is possible to suppress noise sufficiently while preserve edge and other significant information required in diagnosis. We proposed adaptive weighed median(AWM) filters based on local statistics. We showed two ways of realizing the AWM filters. One is a simple type of AWM filter, which is constructed by Homogeneous factor(HF). Homogeneous factor(HF) from the noise models that enables the filter to recognize the local structures of the image is introduced, and an algorithm for determining the HF fitted to the diagnostic systems with various inner statistical properties is proposed. We show by the experimented that the performances of proposed method is superior to these of other filters and models in preserving small details and suppressing the noise at homogeneous region. The proposed algorithms were implemented by Visual C++ language on a IBM-PC Pentium 550 for testing purposes and the effects and results of the filter in the various levels of noise and images were proposed by comparing the values of NMSE(normalized mean square error) with the value of the other existing filtering methods.

본 논문에서는 임펄스 잡음검출과 필터링을 기반으로 하는 변형된 적응 스위칭 메디안 필터 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 임펄스 잡음검출 과정에서는 마스크 내의 화소값의 차에 의해 설정된 임계값을 사용하며, 이 때 잡음으로 판단된 화소들에 대하여 필터링 과정을 수행한다. 제안한 필터링 방법은 국부 잡음밀도에 상응하여 마스크 크기를 가변하며, 필터링을 반복 수행한다. 그리고 제안한 방법의 시뮬레이션을 위해, 다양한 밀도의 임펄스 잡음을 원영상에 중첩하여 테스트 영상으로 사용하였으며, 기존의 방법과 비교하였다. 또한 평가를 위한 기준으로 PSNR을 적용하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과에서 제안한 알고리즘은 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

Image processing steps are consist of image acquisition, preprocessing, region, segmentation and recognition. But image corrupted commonly by noise reduction methods, many filters were proposed like mean filter, median filter, weighted median filter, Cheikh filter, and Kyu-cheol lee filter as spatial noise reduction filtering. We propose a new edge detection algorithm so that we find out edge existence and nonexistence. In non-edge area, we selectively apply weighted median filter based upon using information of difference value between weighted median filter's value and center pixel's value. As a result, we finally prove a better performance of noise reduction by applying adaptive weighted median filter and improvement of processing time through using simple algorithm.

This paper proposes computer visual inspection algorithms for PCB defects which are found in a manufacturing process. The proposed method can detect open circuit and short circuit on bare PCB without using any reference images. It performs adaptive threshold processing for the ROI (Region of Interest) of a target image, median filtering to remove noises, and then analyzes connected components of the binary image. In this paper, the connected components of circuit pattern are defined as 6 types. The proposed method classifies the connected components of the target image into 6 types, and determines an unclassified component as a defect of the circuit. The analysis of the original target image detects open circuits, while the analysis of the complement image finds short circuits. The machine vision inspection system is implemented using C language in an embedded Linux system for a high-speed real-time image processing. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithms are quite successful.

Wavelet scheme can be applied to the various remote sensing problems: conventional multi-resolution image analysis, compression of large image sets, fusion of heterogeneous sensor image and segmentation of features. In this study, we attempted wavelet-based filtering and its analysis. Traditionally, statistical methods and adaptive filter are used to manipulate noises in the image processing procedure. While we tried to filter random noise from optical image and radar image using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DW1) and Stationary Wavelet Transform (SW1) and compared with existing methods such as median filter and adaptive filter. In result, SWT preserved boundaries and reduced noises most effectively. If appropriate thresholds are used, wavelet filtering will be applied to detect road boundaries, buildings, cars and other complex features from high-resolution imagery in an urban environment as well as noise filtering

신호를 블러링하여 상관도를 높이고 차이값의 정보량을 줄이는 BDPCM에 의한 영상 압축 가능성을 보인다. 균일한 양자화 간격을 가지고 부호기의 신호 흐름을 분석하여 복호기에서 완전한 신호 복원 능력을 제시한다. 블러링된 신호를 일반적인 DPCM 예측기에 의한 차이값이 일정한 동적 범위에 속한다는 것을 분석한다. 메디안 필터가 임펄스 잡음을 제거할 수 있는 대신에 신호를 철저히 훼손시키는 단점을 개선하기 위해, 차이값에 대해 선택적으로 필터링하는 것을 제안한다. 차이값 분포가 일정하기 때문에 전송중 잡음 특히 임펄스 잡음이 검출되며 필터링에 의해 제거된다. 이로써 저전송률 영상 전송에서 잡음 제거가 가능한 부호기를 제안하였다.

Ship detection in synthetic aperture radar(SAR)imagery has long been an active research topic and has many applications. In this paper,we propose an efficient method for detecting ships from SAR imagery using filtering. This method exploits ship masking using a median filter that considers maximum ship sizes and detects ships from the reference image, to which a Non-Local means (NL-means) filter is applied for speckle de-noising and a differential image created from the difference between the reference image and the median filtered image. As the pixels of the ship in the SAR imagery have sufficiently higher values than the surrounding sea, the ship detection process is composed primarily of filtering based on this characteristic. The performance test for this method is validated using KOMPSAT-5 (Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-5) SAR imagery. According to the accuracy assessment, the overall accuracy of the region that does not include land is 76.79%, and user accuracy is 71.31%. It is demonstrated that the proposed detection method is suitable to detect ships in SAR imagery and enables us to detect ships more easily and efficiently.

Based on the detection of the size of datas of multipath channel characterization, we propose a new algorithm. called the impulse size based adaptive median filter(ISMF), for ghost cancellation system. The ISMF consists of two levels. The first one is the impulse noise size detection level and the second one is the adaptive median filtering level to remove the impulse noise detected. Test results confirm that the proposed ISMF removes impulse noise due to multipath channel characterization while preserving signal as well as ghosts so that the LMS algorithm performs effectively.

영상 데이타는 전송, 검출 및 처리과정에서 여러 잡음에 의해 훼손될 수 있다. 적응성 가중 메디안 필터라는 공간변화 필터를 사용하여 방사선 투과영상의 양자 잡음을 제거하였다. 제안된 필터는 처리 윈도우 내 각 픽셀의 국소 통계치의 변화에 따라 필터의 성능이 변화하여 에지를 최대한 보존하면서 잡음만을 제거하고자 이러한 국소 통계 값에 근거한 적응성 가중 메디안 휠터 (AWMF)를 제시한다. AWMF를 구현함에 있어 두 가지 방법으로 나뉘는데, 우선 국소 통계의 특성에 따라 3개의 영역으로 분류하여 가중치를 부여하는 간단한 비선형 필터이고, 다음으로는 잡음모델로부터 국소 통계의 특성에 따라 경계(edge) 영역과 균일 영역으로 구분하여 영상시스템에 적당한 균일 척도 값을 구하여 영상의 공간적인 변화 정도를 판단하는 기준이 되도록 하였다. 제안한 알고리듬은 IBM-PC 상에서 C 언어로 구현하였으며 AWMF가 다른 잡음 제거 필터들과의 성능 비교를 통하여 경계는 보존하면서 잡음은 최대한 제거하는 우수한 필터임을 검증하였다.
