Anisotropic partial differential equation (PDE)-based image restoration schemes employ a local edge indicator function typically based on gradients. In this paper, an alternative pixel-wise adaptive diffusion scheme is proposed. It uses a spatial function giving better edge information to the diffusion process. It avoids the over-locality problem of gradient-based schemes and preserves discontinuities coherently. The scheme satisfies scale space axioms for a multiscale diffusion scheme; and it uses a well-posed regularized total variation (TV) scheme along with Perona-Malik type functions. Median-based weight function is used to handle the impulse noise case. Numerical results show promise of such an adaptive approach on real noisy images.

In this letter, a novel adaptive filter, the adaptive two-pass median (ATM) filter based on support vector machines (SVMs), is proposed to preserve more image details while effectively suppressing impulse noise for image restoration. The proposed filter is composed of a noise decision maker and two-pass median filters. Our new approach basically uses an SVM impulse detector to judge whether the input pixel is noise. If a pixel is detected as a corrupted pixel, the noise-free reduction median filter will be triggered to replace it. Otherwise, it remains unchanged. Then, to improve the quality of the restored image, a decision impulse filter is put to work in the second-pass filtering procedure. As for the noise suppressing both fixed-valued and random-valued impulses without degrading the quality of the fine details, the results of our extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed filter outperforms earlier median-based filters in the literature. Our new filter also provides excellent robustness at various percentages of impulse noise.
