In the proposed work, noise models such as Salt & Pepper, Gaussian and Poisson are considered in order to corrupt the image.Image restoration is still challenging task to recover an original image using a degradation and restoration model. In the paper, Gaussian, Average and Wiener linear image restoration techniques are used to recover the original MRI image. Median filter, Min and Max non-linear filters are also used to obtain uncorrupt image in the paper.Mean square error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Cross Correlation(CC) performance analysis criteria are used to compare different restoration technique so that better performance in a clinical diagnosis can be achieved. In the paper it can be found that wiener filter with 5 x 5 window for Gaussian, speckle and Poisson noise provides best performance in terms of MSE and PSNR. Also,median filter with 5 x 5 window gives better accuracy of results to restore 3D salt & pepper noised image in terms of MSE and CC.

A novel method was brought forward for the purpose of filtering Gaussian noise effectively by using variable step time matrix of the simplified pulse coupled neural network (PCNN). Firstly, the time matrix of PCNN, related to the grayscale and spatial information of an image, is calculated to identify the noise polluted pixels. Subsequently, a variable step, a long step for strong noise and a short step for weak noise, based on the time matrix is applied to modify the grayscale of noised pixels in a sliding window. And then wiener filter is used to the image to further filter the noise. Experiments show that the proposed filter can remove Gaussian noise effectively than other noise reduction methods such as median filter, mean filter, wiener filter etc, and the filtered image is smooth and the details and edges are sharp. Compared with existing PCNN based Gaussian noise filter, the proposed filter gets higher Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and better performance.

This paper presents a filtering algorithm called extended efficient nonparametric switching median (EENPSM) filter. The proposed filter is composed of a nonparametric easy to implement impulse noise detector and a recursive pixel restoration technique. Initially, the impulse detector classifies any possible impulsive noise pixels. Subsequently, the filtering phase replaces the detected noise pixels. In addition, the filtering phase employs fuzzy reasoning to deal with uncertainties present in local information. Contrary to the existing conventional filters that only focus on a particular impulse noise model, the EENPSM filter is capable of filtering all kinds of impulse noise (i.e. the random-valued and/or fixed-valued impulse noise models). Extensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations have shown that the EENPSM method performs better than some of the existing methods by giving better filtering performance.


Image processing plays major role to provide additional information in medical diagnosis. Input images contain picture information as well as noise information. Noise information is added with the images during signal acquisition stage or in the transmission of image data. Salt & Pepper noise, Gaussian noise and Speckle noise is the major noises introduced in the images. Noise information may be interpreted as data and it may lead to severe problem. Linear and Non-linear filters are used to reduce these noises in the images. In medical image analysis, non-linear filters are preferred over linear filters because it preserves edge information. Dental X-ray image is used to identify the cavities and its depth. Average filter, median filter and wiener filter are the classical techniques used in many image processing applications. In this paper, three different noises (Salt &pepper, Gaussian and Speckle noise) are added and different filters (Average filters, median filter, Wiener filter) performances are analysed with the PSNR, SNR and MSE. Analysis shows that median filter is suitable for reducing salt & pepper noise and wiener filter is suitable for reducing Gaussian noise and speckle noise in the dental x-ray images. Selective median filter is a modified wiener filter. Median filter is used for the pixel value 0 and 255.For other pixel values wiener filter is used. Selective median filter is giving better result than traditional techniques

Image de-noising has been a challenging issue in the field of digital image processing. It involves the manipulation of image data to produce a visually high quality image. While maintaining the desired information in the quality of an image, elimination of noise is an essential task. Various domain applications such as medical science, forensic science, text extraction, optical character recognition, face recognition, face detection etc. deal with noise removal techniques. There exist a variety of noises that may corrupt the images in different ways. Here, we explore filtering techniques viz. Mean filter, Median filter and Wiener filter to remove noises existing in facial images. The noises of our interest are namely; Gaussian noise, Salt & Pepper noise, Poisson noise and Speckle noise in our study. Further, we perform a comparative study based on the parameters such as Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structure Similarity Index Method (SSIM). For this research work, MATLAB R2013a on Labeled faces in Wild (lfw) database containing 120 facial images is used. Based upon the aforementioned parameters, we have attempted to analyze the performance of noise removal techniques with different types of noises. It has been observed that MSE, PSNR and SSIM for Mean filter are 44.19 with Poisson noise, 35.88 with Poisson noise and 0.197 with Gaussian noise respectively whereas for that of Median filter, these are 44.12 with Poisson noise, 46.56 with Salt & Pepper noise and 0.132 with Gaussian noise respectively. Wiener filter when contaminated with Poisson, Salt & Pepper and Gaussian noise, these parametric values are 44.52, 44.33 and 0.245 respectively. Based on these observations, we claim that the Median filtering technique works the best when contaminated with Poisson noise while the error strategy is dominant. On the other hand, Median filter also works the best with Salt & Pepper noise when Peak Signal to Noise Ratio is important. It is interesting to note that Median filter performs effectively with Gaussian noise using SSIM.

Denoising is one of the important tasks in image processing. Despite the significant research conducted on this topic, the development of efficient denoising methods is still a compelling challenge. In this paper, spatial domain methods and Wavelet Domain Methods of image denoising have been evaluated. The medical ultrasound images suffer from speckle noise which is multiplicative in nature and more difficult to remove than additive noise. In the spatial filter methods Median Filter and Wiener Filter are implemented. These methods are based on the simple formulas that are proposed by different authors. In Wavelet Methods Visu Shrink, Neigh shrink and Bayes Shrink are implemented. The basic idea of wavelet methods is to denoise the image by applying wavelet transform to the noisy image, then thresholding the detailed wavelet coefficient and inverse transforming the set of thresholded coefficient to obtain the denoised image. The comparison of all filters methods is done using various Quality Metrics like Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Bit Error Rate (BER), Mean Square Error, etc. The filters methods implemented in MATLAB 7.10.0.499(R2010a).

In computational auditory scene analysis, the accurate estimation of binary mask or ratio mask plays a key role in noise masking. An inaccurate estimation often leads to some artifacts and temporal discontinuity in the synthesized speech. To overcome this problem, we propose a new ratio mask estimation method in terms of Wiener filtering in each Gammatone channel. In the reconstruction of Wiener filter, we utilize the relationship of the speech and noise power spectra in each Gammatone channel to build the objective function for the convex optimization of speech power. To improve the accuracy of estimation, the estimated ratio mask is further modified based on its adjacent time–frequency units, and then smoothed by interpolating with the estimated binary masks. The objective tests including the signal-to-noise ratio improvement, spectral distortion and intelligibility, and subjective listening test demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared with the reference methods.
