Image denoising is a key issue in all image processing researches. Generally, the quality of an image could be corrupted by a lot of noise due to the undesired conditions of image acquisition phase or during the transmission. Many approaches to image restoration are aimed at removing either Gaussian or impulse noise. Nevertheless, it is possible to find them operating on the same image, which is called mixed noise and it produces a hard damage. In this paper, we proposed noise type classification method and a mixed nonlinear filter for mixed noise suppression. The proposed filtering scheme applies a modified adaptive switching median filter to impulse noise suppression and an efficient nonlinear filer was carried out to remove Gaussian noise. The simulation results based on Matlab show that the proposed method can remove mixed Gaussian and impulse noise efficiently and it can preserve the integrity of edge and keep the detailed information.

Many approaches to image restoration are aimed at removing either gauss or impulse noise. This is because both types of degradation processes are distinct in nature, and hence they are easier to manage when considered separately. Nevertheless, it is possible to find them operating on the same image, which produces a hard damage. This happens when an image, already contaminated by Gaussian noise in the image acquisition procedure, undergoes impulsive corruption during its digital transmission. Here we proposed an algorithm first judge the type of the noise according to the difference values of pixel's neighborhood region and impulse noise's characteristic. Then removes the gauss noise by modified weighted mean filter and removes the impulse noise by modified nonlinear filter. The result of computer simulation on test images indicates that the proposed method is superior to traditional filtering algorithms. The proposed method can not only remove mixed noise effectively, but also preserve image details.

In this article, we propose a novel variational model for restoring color images corrupted by mixed multiplicative Gamma noise and additive Gaussian noise. The model involves a data-fidelity term that characterizes the mixed noise as an infimal convolution of two noise distributions and the saturation-value total variation (SVTV) regularization. The data-fidelity term facilitates suitable separation of the multiplicative Gamma and Gaussian noise components, promoting simultaneous elimination of the mixed noise. Furthermore, the SVTV regularization enables adequate denoising of homogeneous regions, while maintaining edges and details and diminishing the color artifacts induced by noise. To solve the proposed nonconvex model, we exploit an alternating minimization approach, and then the alternating direction method of multipliers is adopted for solving subproblems. This contributes to an efficient iterative algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed model compared to other existing or related models, with regard to visual inspection and image quality measurements.

Noise is regarded as an unwanted component of the image because it significantly reduces image quality. And image is often corrupted by mixed noise. In this paper an efficient modified weighted filter algorithm which combines spatial weight and intensity weight is proposed for removing mixed noise. In the proposed method, the filtering mask is separated into the four sub-windows and the parameters of the weights are confirmed by calculating local standard deviation and the mean of four sub-windows' standard deviations. Considering the spatial information and intensity information, the proposed method has good performance on not only noise elimination but also preservation of details. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method performs better than conventional algorithms.

The image signal is often affected by the existence of noise, noise can occur during image capture, transmission or processing phases. noises caused the degradation phenomenon and demage the original signal information. Many studies are being accomplished to restore those signals which corrupted by mixed noise. In this paper, we proposed mixed weighted filter for removing Gaussian and impulse noise. we first charge the noise type, then, Gaussian is removed by a weighted mean filter and impulse noise is removed by self-adaptive weighted median filter that can not only remove mixed noise but also preserve the details. And through the simulation, we compared with the conventional algorithms and indicated that proposed method significant improvement over many other existing algorithms and can preserve image details efficiently.

Images are unavoidably contaminated with different types of noise during the processes of image acquisition and transmission. The main forms of noise are impulse noise (is also called salt and pepper noise) and Gaussian noise. In this paper, an effective method of removing mixed noise from images is proposed. In general, different types of denoising methods are designed for different types of noise; for example, the median filter displays good performance in removing impulse noise, and the wavelet denoising algorithm displays good performance in removing Gaussian noise. However, images are affected by more than one type of noise in many cases. To reduce both impulse noise and Gaussian noise, this paper proposes a denoising method that combines adaptive median filtering (AMF) based on impulse noise detection with the wavelet threshold denoising method based on a Gaussian mixture model (GMM). The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves much better denoising performance than the median filter or the wavelet denoising method for images contaminated with mixed noise.

In this paper, the SEM image processing system based on PC is designed, and a new noise reduction filtering algorithm is proposed. The SEM image obtained in semiconductor processing line is sensitive to noise, the weighted-D filter can remove uniform and Gaussian noise effectively, but can not remove impulse noise properly, A new improved filtering algorithm is proposed to reduce mixed-noise. The performance of the proposed filter is quantitatively evaluated by use of the normalized mean square errors (NMSE). The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed filter is obtained between 0.96 and 2.5 times better than that of weighted-D filter in NMSE evaluation.

영상데이터를 획득하거나 저장하는 과정에서는 주변 환경이나 장치의 특성에 따라 잡음이 발생한다. 또한 영상의 전송과정에서도 채널 간섭에 의한 잡음이 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 잡음은 정보의 손실을 가져옴으로써 이어지는 영상처리 단계에서 화질의 저하가 나타나게 된다. 대표적인 잡음으로는 가우시안 잡음과 임펄스 잡음을 들 수 있는데, 영상처리는 일반적으로 이들이 혼재하는 복합 잡음 환경에서 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 복합 잡음을 저감할 수 있는 반복 가중 평균 필터를 제안한다. 먼저 입력 영상으로부터 임펄스 잡음 화소를 제거한 다음, $3{\times}3$ 슬라이딩 윈도우 영역에 대해 가중 평균 마스크 연산을 수행하여 중앙 화소값을 구하는 간단한 방법이다. 제거된 임펄스 잡음 화소가 가중 평균값으로 모두 채워질 때까지 필터링을 반복한다. 제안한 필터를 ${\sigma}=10$인 가우시안 잡음과 다양한 밀도의 임펖스 잡음이 포함된 영상에 적용하여 처리한 결과, 잡음 밀도 60% 이하에서 기존의 SAWF, AWMF, MMF 등에 비해 PSNR이 각각 최대 12.98 dB, 1.97 dB, 1.97 dB 개선되었다.
