In this proposed book chapter, a simple but efficient presentation of Median Filter, Switching Median Filter, Adaptive Median Filter and Decision-Based Adaptive Filtering Method and their hardware architecture for FPGA is described for removal of up to 99% impulse noise from Digital Images. For hardware architecture, simulation is done using Xilinx ISE 14.5 software of XILINX. For implementation, these approaches utilize Genesys VIRTEX V FPGA device of XC5VLX50T device family. In this approach, we proposed an efficient design for suppression of impulse noise from digital images corrupted by up to 99% impulse noise using decision based adaptive filtering method as well as preserve the details of image. The method works in two different stages – noise detection using switching technique and finally noise suppression and restoration. Experimental results show that our method perform better in terms of PSNR below 80% noise density but above 80% noise density it is almost comparable with the latest methods.

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.

This paper proposes a new switching median filter for suppressing multi-pixel impulse noise in X-ray images. A multi-pixel impulse is understood as a set of several neighboring pixels, the intensity of each significantly exceeds background intensity. Multi-pixel noise can occur, for example, due to the blooming effect, the reason being the limited value of pixel saturation capacity. This article defines the thresholds for the intensity increment relative to the eight immediate neighbors, above which the current pixel is processed by the median filter. The dependence of these thresholds on the number of pixels in an impulse is presented. The proposed algorithm is based on the median filtering process, which consists of several iterations. In this case, the filter has the smallest possible size, which minimizes image distortion during processing. In particular, to exclude a single-pixel impulse, pixel processing is turned on when intensity surge exceeds 3.5 with the grayscale value ranging from 0 to 1. At the same time, to exclude nine-pixel impulses, three iterations are required with the following thresholds: the first iteration with a threshold 2.0; the second iteration also with a threshold 2.0 and the third iteration with a threshold 3.5. The algorithm proposed was tested on real X-ray images corrupted by multi-pixel impulse noise. The algorithm is not only simple, but also reliable and suitable for real-time implementation and application. The efficiency of the technique is shown in comparison with other known filtering methods with respect to the degree of noise suppression. The main result of the testing is that only the proposed method allows excluding multi-pixel noise. Other advantage of the algorithm is its weak effect on the level of Gaussian noise leading to the absence of image blurring (or preserving image details) during processing.

The article proposes an adaptive, noise-exclusive and assessment-based fuzzy switching median filter for high intensity impulse noise. The filter adaptively changes the size of sliding window in accordance with noise intensity and noise-exclusive operation is performed only on noise-free pixels. These steps thus preserve the image details effectively. Judicious assessment of the previously restored pixels is made in order to use them in replacing the noisy pixels and further improve the efficiency of filter. With these possibilities, fuzzy switching median filter-based approach is also incorporated for improving the performance. Experimental results justified the efficacy of the proposed fuzzy-based filtering method qualitatively and quantitatively for twelve different highly corrupted noisy images, and showed significant improvement to existing algorithms.
