In response to the increased use of digital video device, more researches are actively made on the image processing technologies. Image processing is practically used on various applied fields such as medical photographic interpretation, and object recognition. The types of image noise include Gaussian Noise, Impulse Noise, and Salt and Pepper. Noise refers to the unnecessary information which damages the video and the noise is mainly removed by a filter. Typical noise removal methods are Median Filter and Average Filter. While Median Filter is effective for removing Salt and Pepper noise, the noise removal performance is relatively lower in the environment with high noise density. To address such issue, this study suggested an algorithm which utilizes neighboring pixels to remove noise.

In active noise control filter, IIR filter structure which used for control filter assures the stability property. The stability characteristics of IIR filter structure is mainly determined by pole location of control filter within unit disc, so stable selection of the value of control filter coefficient is very important. In this paper, we proposed novel adaptive stabilized Filtered_U LMS algorithms with IIR filter structure which has better convergence speed and less computational burden than conventional FIR structures, for multi-channel active noise control with vehicle enclosure signal case. For better convergence speed in adaptive algorithms, fuzzy LMS algorithms where convergence coefficient computed by a fuzzy PI type controller was proposed.

This paper proposes a new active noise control (ANC) system for canceling broadband noise. The proposed ANC system is designed based on the multiband-structured delayless subband adaptive filter (MDSAF), which has advantages of fast-convergence speed and higher noise reduction performance by eliminating the aliasing and band-edge effects caused by band-partitioning. The simulation results show that the proposed ANC system has faster convergence speed as compared to the conventional ANC systems and effectively reduces the wideband noise.

This paper presents an algorithm for removing high-density impulsive noise that generates some serious distortions in edge regions of an image. Although many works have been presented to reduce edge distortions, these existing methods cannot sufficiently restore distorted edges in images with large amounts of impulsive noise. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a method using connected lines extracted from a binarized image, which segments an image into uniform and edge regions. For uniform regions, the existing simple adaptive median filter is applied to remove impulsive noise, and, for edge regions, a prediction filter and a line-weighted median filter using the connected lines are proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides much better performance in restoring distorted edges than existing methods provide. When noise content is more than 20 percent, existing algorithms result in severe edge distortions, while the proposed algorithm can reconstruct edge regions similar to those of the original image.

Today, we can use radio communication device anywhere-anytime. Sometimes, we use the device in acoustic noise environment. The acoustic noise makes many problems in communication system. In acoustic noise environment, speaker cannot send clear information to receiver, because the received signal includes both speech signal and noise signal. A digital filter is useful to remove noise to get desired signal. One of methods is the adaptive digital filter using the adaptive noise canceller that automatically adjust filter parameters. This thesis addresses articulation algorithms against actual acoustic noises by means of two adaptive filtering methods. One is the adaptive noise canceller with two input channels and another is the spectral subtraction filter with one input channel. The experimental result from the proposed filter shows that the adaptive noise canceller is useful to reduce the non-stationary noises, while the spectral amplitude filter is effective for stationary noises.

In the transmitting process of image signal processing system, there are several different causes of degradation that have been occurring. The main cause of degradation is attributed to the noise. The most representive method of removing noise of image, which is caused by impulse noise environment, is using the SM(standard median filter). At edge, the filter has a special feature which has a tendency to decrease. As a result, we proposed a nonlinear filter that restores the image considering edge quality in the impulse noise environment. And through the simulation, we compared with the many of the conventional algorithms and the value of the PSNR(peak signal to nise ratio) is better than them and preserve the edge very well. So the nonlinear filter that proposed in this paper is excepted to help improve restoring the images that in impulse noise environment.

Robust nonlinear image denoising algorithms for the class of ${\alpha}$-stable distribution are introduced. The proposed amplitude-limited sample average filter(ALSAF) proves to be the maximum likelihood estimator under the heavy-tailed Gaussian noise environments. The error norm for this estimator is equivalent to Huber#s minimax norm. It is optimal in the respect of maximizing the efficacy under the above noise environment. It is mired with the myriad filter to propose an amplitude-limited myriad filter(ALMF). The behavior and performance of the ALSAF and ALMF in ${\alpha}$-stable noise environment are illustrated and analyzed through simulation.

In the process of transmitting images, there are several different underlying causes of degradation that have been occuring. The main underlying cause of the degradation has been attributed to the noise. The most representive method of removal noise of image, which is caused by impulse noise, is using the SM filter. At edge the filter has a special feature which has a tendency to decrease. As a result, this paper we proposed the nonlinear filter using the form of mask and the probability of the impulse noise to restore the image considering edge quality in the impulse noise environment. And through the simulation, we compared with the existing methods and capabilties.

Considerable research in the last three decades has examined the problem of enhancement of speech degraded by additive background noise. We compare traditional methods such as spectral subtraction and Wiener filter, recently proposed psychoacoustic model based methods such as perceptual filter and noise suppression in EVRC in terms of performance and complexity.
