An Image Filtering Algorithm for Removing Mixed Noise
Maoxiang Chu, An Na Wang, Rong Fen Gong · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2013
In order to remove salt-and-pepper noise and Gaussian noise in image, a novel filtering algorithm is proposed in this paper. The novel algorithm can preserve image edge details as much as possible. Firstly, five-median-binary code (FMBC) is proposed and used to describe local edge type of image. Secondly, median filter algorithm is improved to remove salt-and-pepper noise by using FMBC. Then, local enhanced bilateral filter with FMBC and a new type of exponential weighting function is used to remove Gaussian noise. Simulation results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper is very effective not only in filtering mixed noise but also in preserving edge details.
