Noise detection-based median filters have been widely adopted to reduce salt and pepper noise in images. However, since noise pixel is not detected accurately, it is likely to blur the fringe of image under the high noise density. In this paper, we propose an algorithm of salt and pepper noise filter which is based on GA-BP algorithm noise detector to remove the salt and pepper noise in images. The algorithm firstly detect the location of noise pixels by using optimized GA-BP network,then,it introduce edge-preserving function and PRP algorithm to solve the objective function of extreme value further to realize the image denoising. Compared with the traditional algorithms, experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has an evident improvement, and have good characters of generalization, robust and self-adaptive.

This paper proposes a novel approach to remove salt-and-pepper noise from a given noisy image. The proposed algorithm is based on statistical quantities such as mean and standard deviation. It determines the intensity to be placed on the impulse point by calculating the eligibility of the nearby points in a very simple way. This method works iteratively and removes all the impulse points restoring the edges and minute details. The proposed algorithm is very efficient and gives better results than various existing algorithms. The performance of the proposed method are compared with other existing methods with images of noise density as high as 99% and is found to perform better.

In order to accelerate denoising and improve the denoising performance of the current median filters, an Adaptive Four-dot Median Filter (AFMF) for image restoration is proposed in this article. AFMF is not only very efficient and fast in logic execution, but also it can restore the corrupted images with 1–99% densities of salt-and-pepper noise to the satisfactory ones. Without any complicated operation for noise detection, it intuitively and simply distinguishes impulse noises, while keeping the noise-free pixels intact. Only the uncorrupted pixels of the four-dot mask in adaptive filtering windows are used for the adoption of candidates for median finding, whatever filtering window size is. Furthermore, the adoption of recursive median filters leads to denoising performance improvement and faster filtering. The simple logic of the proposed algorithm obtains significant milestones on the fidelity of a restored image. Relevant experimental results on subjective visualization and objective digital measure validate the robustness of the proposed filter.

By using information entropy to estimate the distribution uniformity of the pixels with a same gray level, an accurate salt and pepper noise detection method is presented based on the statistical property of salt and pepper noise. And then, a new modified mean filter is designed, which sets up noise-centre filtering windows, Moreover, the weighted means are calculated by merely using the non-noise points in each filtering window. The presented filter can efficiently preserve the details of images, avoid the affection of noise points on the restore points, and reduce the dimness of the noise points. Experimental results show that this algorithm has the better performance on noise detection, noise filtering, and the protection of detail.

Many computer vision algorithms which are not robust to noise incorporate a noise removal stage in their workflow to avoid distortions in the final result. In the last decade, many filters for salt-and-pepper noise removal have been proposed. In this paper, a novel filter based on the weighted arithmetic mean aggregation function and the fuzzy mathematical morphology is proposed. The performance of the proposed filter is highly competitive when compared with other state-of-the-art filters regardless of the amount of salt-and-pepper noise present in the image, achieving notable results for any noise density from 5% to 98%. A statistical analysis based on some objective restoration measures supports that this filter surpasses several state-of-the-art filters for most of the noise levels considered in the comparison experiments.

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.
