Impulsive noise removal usually employs median filtering, switching median filtering, the total variation L1 method, and variants. These approaches however often introduce excessive smoothing and can result in extensive visual feature blurring and thus are suitable only for images with low density noise. A new method to remove noise is proposed in this paper to overcome this limitation, which divides pixels into different categories based on different noise characteristics. If an image is corrupted by salt-and-pepper noise, the pixels are divided into corrupted and noise-free; if the image is corrupted by random valued impulses, the pixels are divided into corrupted, noise-free, and possibly corrupted. Pixels falling into different categories are processed differently. If a pixel is corrupted, modified total variation diffusion is applied; if the pixel is possibly corrupted, weighted total variation diffusion is applied; otherwise, the pixel is left unchanged. Experimental results show that the proposed method is robust to different noise strengths and suitable for different images, with strong noise removal capability as shown by PSNR/SSIM results as well as the visual quality of restored images.

Impulsive noise removal for color images usually employs vector median filter, switching median filter, the total variation L1 method, and variants. These approaches, however, often introduce excessive smoothing and can result in extensive visual feature blurring and thus are suitable only for images with low density noise. A marginal method to reduce impulsive noise is proposed in this paper that overcomes this limitation that is based on the following facts: (i) each channel in a color image is contaminated independently, and contaminative components are independent and identically distributed; (ii) in a natural image the gradients of different components of a pixel are similar to one another. This method divides components into different categories based on different noise characteristics. If an image is corrupted by salt-and-pepper noise, the components are divided into the corrupted and the noise-free components; if the image is corrupted by random-valued impulses, the components are divided into the corrupted, noise-free, and the possibly corrupted components. Components falling into different categories are processed differently. If a component is corrupted, modified total variation diffusion is applied; if it is possibly corrupted, scaled total variation diffusion is applied; otherwise, the component is left unchanged. Simulation results demonstrate its effectiveness.

Salt-and-pepper noise suppression for vector-valued images usually employs vector median filtering, total variation L1 model, diffusion methods and variants. These approaches, however, often introduce excessive smoothing and can result in extensive visual feature blurring and are suitable only for images with low intensity noise. In this paper, a new method, as an important preprocessing step in cyber-physical systems, is presented to suppress salt-and-pepper noise that can overcomes this limitation. This method first detects the corrupted pixels and then restores them using channel-wise anisotropic diffusion. The means is twofold. On the one hand, the marginal approach is used to perform noise suppression separately in each channel because the contaminative pixel components are of independent distribution. On the other hand, a decision-based anisotropic diffusion method is applied to each channel to restores them. The anisotropic diffusion is an energy-dissipating process with time, and dependent on geometric analysis of shape of the energy surface. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method for impulsive noise removal achieves the state-of-the-arts results.

Filtering the unwanted parameters will guarantee the quality of images for further operations. Sensors and other devices used to capture the images may be subjected to situations where it might not function as programmed. The medium in which the images are transformed may also face the same difficulties. In such cases, salt and pepper noise should be removed before the images are taken into considerations. Otherwise, processes like edge detection, image segmentation and object recognition will be facing hurdles and may not reveal the desired output. This proposal intends to solve such an issue by using an algorithm for median filtering for using filters with medians on highly affected images. The previous techniques used for filtering out noise are Standard Median Filtering (SMF), Adaptive Median Filtering (AMF) and they have shown relatively lesser performance than the proposed approach. Implementation includes a FPGA set up and strives to remove impulse noise to a great extent consuming lesser computation time. The quality of output's visual and quantitative metrics has outperformed the discussed previous models.

In this work, a procedure to remove the high density salt and pepper noise from a corrupted image is developed and to compare the output image with the original image through the image quality metrics. As a common practice the corrupted pixels are replaced by the median of neighboring pixel values by considering a constant number of neighboring pixels. But in this proposed method the corrupted pixels are identified and are replaced by the median of the neighboring pixel values which are adjustable, to preserve and improve the image quality metrics. This method makes a comparison between the corrupted and uncorrupted pixels and performs the median filtering process only on the corrupted ones. In this work a 3x3, 5x5 and 7x7 square neighborhood are used. The output images are observed with low neighborhood as well as high neighborhood pixel values. The calculation of PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and MSE (Mean square error) value for each dimension with different percentages are considered for the comparative analysis

Noise is ardent factor that reduces the quality of any system, disturbing the corresponding output. This is very noticeable especially in image processing techniques, wherein the image output is distorted to a very large extent. To reduce the effect of noise and to improve the quality of any image, it is mandatory to completely remove high density salt-and-pepper impulse noise. The salt-and –pepper impulse noise is a major hindrance that has to be eliminated by restoring the image using a specialized method that applies to all noise pixels. Involving edge protection and noise control, significant improves image quality compared to those restored by using just a nonlinear filter. The significant feature of the proposed idea is that removal of salt-and-pepper-noise as high as 95%.is obtained.

Numerous filtering methods are proposed for Impulse noise removal, it is an important task in the field of image restoration. The familiar spatial domain algorithm to remove impulse noise is Standard Median Filter (SMF). Most of the existing algorithms are based on median filtering and recent algorithms are Modified Hybrid Median Filter (MHMF) and New Modified Hybrid Median Filter (NMHMF). These two are worked up to 20% noise density. In this paper proposed a new` algorithm for impulse noise removal above 20% noise density conditions with different samples of images. The implementation of proposed method compares with known existing methods by comparing Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR).

A combined total variation and high-order total variation model is proposed to restore blurred images corrupted by impulse noise or mixed Gaussian plus impulse noise. We attack the proposed scheme with an alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). Numerical experiments demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method and the performance of the proposed method is competitive with the existing state-of-the-art methods.
