Colored digital images are affected by salt and pepper noise, affecting their clarity, contents and properties. The negative effect on the image increases with the increase in the noise level. Filters based on average and median filters are not able to remove SAPN with high noise ratios, and accordingly, blurred images are obtained that cannot be dealt with in various image processing operations. In this paper research a modification will be add to median and average filters making them capable of reducing the noise even it has a high noise ratio, the modified average and median filters will be implanted and some comparisons with other popular filters will be made to show the enhancement of the modified filters.

Typically, after the capturing, imaging, and transferring processes have been accomplished, the digital images will contain a variety of noise, caused by both the equipment itself and by the complex working environment. Consequently, it is necessary to perform a de-noising process to facilitate the extraction of useful information. This paper presents a fast and efficient denoising algorithm, which combines the advantages of traditional median filters and weighted filter algorithms. In this algorithm, the noise in the figure is determined, and those results are applied to adaptively change the size of the window, while assigning different weights to the pixels in the filter window. The experimental results show that we can significantly remove almost all salt and pepper noise, while retaining full image textures, edges, and other minutiae.

Mathematical Morphology (MM) is a tool that can be applied to many digital image processing tasks that include the reduction of impulsive or salt and pepper noise in grayscale images. The morphological filters used for this task are filters resulting from two basic operators: erosion and dilation. However, when the level of contamination of the image is higher, these filters tend to distort the image. In this work we propose a pair of operators with properties, that better adapt to impulsive noise than other classical morphological filters, it is demonstrated to be increasing idempotent morphological filters. Furthermore, the proposed pair turns out to be a Ʌ-filter and a V-filter which allow to build morphological openings and closings. Finally, they are compared with other filters of the state-of-the-art such as: SMF, PMSF, DBAIN, AMF and NAFSM, and have shown a better performance when the noise level is above 50%.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present a study of digital technology approaches to image restoration. This process of image restoration is crucial in many areas such as satellite imaging, astronomical image & medical imaging where degraded images need to be repaired Personal images captured by various digital cameras can easily be manipulated by a variety of dedicated image processing algorithms [2]. Image restoration can be described as an important part of image processing technique. Image restoration has proved to be an active field of research in the present days. The basic objective is to enhance the quality of an image by removing defects and make it look pleasing [2]. In this paper, an image restoration algorithm based on the mean and median calculation of a pixel has been implemented. We focused on a certain iterative process to carry out restoration. The algorithm has been tested on different images with different percentage of salt and pepper noise. The improved PSNR and MSE values has been obtained. Keywords: De-Noising, Image Filtering, Mean Filter & Median Filter, Salt and Pepper Noise, Denoising Techniques, Image Restoration.

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.
