In the field of image processing, removal of noise from Gray scale as well as RGB images is an ambitious task. The important function of noise removal algorithm is to eliminate noise from a noisy image. The salt and pepper noise (SPN) is frequently arising into Gray scale and RGB images while capturing, acquiring and transmitting over the insecure several communication mechanisms. In past, the numerous noise removal methods have been introduced to extract the noise from images adulterated with SPN. The proposed work introduces the SPN removal algorithm for Gray scale at low along with high density noise (10\% to 90\%). According to the different conditions of proposed algorithm, the noisy pixel is reconstructed by Winsorized mean or mean value of all pixels except the centre pixel which are present in the processing window. The noise from an image can be removed by using the proposed algorithm without degrading the quality of image. The performance evaluation of proposed and modified decision based unsymmetric median filter (MDBUTMF) is done on the basis of different performance parameters such as Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error (MSE), Image Enhancement Factor (IEF) and Structure Similarity Index Measurement (SSIM).

A modified decision based unsymmetrical trimmed median filter algorithm for the restoration of gray scale, and color images that are highly corrupted by salt and pepper noise is proposed in this paper. Images are often corrupted by impulse noise during acquisition and transmission; thus, an efficient noise suppression technique is required before subsequent image processing operations. Median filter (MF) is widely used in noise removal methods due to its denoising capability and computational efficiency. However, it is effective only for low noise densities. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our method can obtain better performances in terms of both subjective and objective evaluations than denoising techniques. Especially, the proposed method can preserve edges very well while removing salt and pepper noise. Modified Decision Based Algorithm (MDBA), and Progressive Switched Median Filter (PSMF) shows better results at low and medium noise densities. At high noise densities, their performance is poor. A new algorithm to remove high-density salt and pepper noise using modified Decision Based Unsymmetric Trimmed Median Filter (DBUTMF) is proposed. The proposed algorithm replaces the noisy pixel by trimmed median. Since our algorithm is algorithmically simple, it is very suitable to be applied to many real-time applications and higher noise densities. When all the pixel values are 0’s and 255’s then the noise pixel is replaced by mean value of all the elements present in the selected window. The proposed algorithm is tested against different grayscale and color images and it gives better Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Image Enhancement Factor (IEF).

A spatial resolution decision based trimmed moving window filtering method has been proposed for salt andpepper noise removal. It provides a criterion for the selection of neighboring pixels based on the probabilities of local and global occurrences of grey levels of noisy image. It works well for the high noise densities up to 90% and contributes very effectively in estimating the true or near to true values of the original image. In order to measure the quality of image, well known quantification measures SSIM and PSNR are used. The method is compared with other existing techniques and shows that it outperforms other methods in terms of PSNR.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/njst.v15i2.12128Nepal Journal of Science and Technology Vol. 15, No.2 (2014) 123-132

In this method, we've got introduced a new technique for the improvement of gray scale images, when images are corrupted by salt and pepper noise that's additionally referred to as an impulse noise. Our suggested phenomena show a better output for Medium density impulse noise as compare to the opposite renowned filters like standard Median Filter (SMF), a decision based mostly Median Filter (DBMF) and modified decision based Median Filter (MDBMF), Nonlinear filter (NLF) and so on. Our projected technique worked on two steps, within the beginning is that the detection of noisy pixels and within the second step is that the removal of noisy pixels. For detection of noisy constituent apply condition pixels values lies in between 0 to 255 it noisy it's noisy free pixels. In our second step that's the removal of noisy pixel recommended technique that's replaces the noisy pixel by alpha trimmed mean median value. Different grayscale pictures are tested via proposed technique. The experimental result shows higher Peak Signal to Noise ratio (PSNR) values and with higher visual and human perception.

The paper focuses on the evacuation of salt and pepper noise from a contaminated image. A probabilistic decision based average trimmed filter (PDBATF) is proposed for both high and low noise density. The proposed algorithm addresses the issue related to even number of noise-free pixel in trimmed median filter for the calculation of processing pixel. The proposed average trimmed filter is incorporated for low noise density while the proposed patch else average trimmed filter is applied for high noise density. Finally, they are combined together to develop the proposed PDBATF. The proposed algorithm show an excellent noise removal capability compared to the recently developed algorithms in terms of peak signal to noise ratio, image enhancement factor, mean absolute error and execution time. It works very efficiently in de-noising contaminated medical images such as chest-x-ray and malaria-blood-smear.

Salt-and-pepper noise, which is often introduced by sharp and sudden disturbances in the image signal, greatly reduces the quality of images. Great progress has been made for the salt-and-pepper noise removal; however, the problem of image blur and distortion still exists, and the efficiency of denoising requires improvement. This paper proposes an iterative weighted-mean filter (IWMF) algorithm in detecting and removing high-density salt-and-pepper noise. Three steps are required to implement this algorithm: First, the noise value and distribution characteristics were used to identify the noise pixels, effectively improving the accuracy of noise detection. Second, a weighted-mean filter was applied to the noisy pixels. We adopted an un-fixed shape symmetrical window with better detail preservation ability. Third, this method was performed iteratively, avoiding the streak effect and artifacts in high noise density. The experimental results showed that IWMF outperformed other state-of-the-art filters at various noise densities, both in subjective visualization and objective digital measures. The extremely fast execution speed of this method is quite suitable for real-time processing.

In this paper, we introduce a new method, impulse noise removal based on hybrid genetic algorithm (INRHGA) to remove impulse noise at different noise densities of noise while preserving the main features of the image. The proposed approach merges the genetic algorithm and methods for filtering images that are combined into the population as essential solutions to create a developed and improved population. A set of individuals is developed into a number of iterations using factors of crossover and mutation. Our method develops a group of images instead of a set of parameters from the filters. We then introduced some of the concepts and steps of it. The proposed algorithm is compared with some image denoising algorithm. By using Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), structural similarity (SSIM). For example, for Lenna image with 60% salt and pepper noise density, PSNR, SSIM results of AMF, MDBUTMFG and NAFSM methods are 20,39/ 28.74/ 29.85 and 0.5679/ 0.8312/ 0.8818 respectively, while PSNR, SSIM results of the proposed algorithm are 29.92 and 0.8838, respectively. Experimental results indicate that INRHGA is very effective and visually comparable with the above-mentioned methods at different levels of noise.


In agriculture digital image processing play an important role in the prediction of tea leaves diseases. But acquisition of image may be corrupted by various types of noise such as impulse noise, Gaussian noise and salt and pepper noise. These noises can corrupt the image. So it will reduce the quality of the image and it reduces the classification accuracy. Hence it needs a efficient filter to remove these noise. This paper introduced a new filter density mass filter. It reduces all kinds of noise. Two metrics PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise ratio) and RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) values are used to evaluate the quality of images. The PSNR value of proposed filter is significantly high and RMSE value is reasonably low
