Iosr Journals, Veena S. Kumar · Figshare · 2015

The presence of noise in images is unavoidable.It may be formed by image formation process,image recording,image transmission etc.These random distortions make it difficult to perform any required image processing task.High quality noise free remote sensing images are necessary for various applications.Therefore, removal of noise is necessary. The purpose of image denoising is to preserve edges as far as possible while removing noise, making the resulting images approximate the ideal image.This paper proposes a method for denoising remote sensing images using a combination of second order and fourth order partial differential equations.The advantages of both second order and fourth order partial differential equations are utilized here.The image is denoised using second order partial differential equations , fourth order partial differential equations and the combination of both.A comparison of the three methods is also presented.The proposed algorithm smooth out more noise and conserve more detail in the denoising process.
