A Simple Fuzzy Method to Remove Mixed Gaussian-Impulsive Noise From Color Images

TLDR
A fuzzy rule system is used to assign the weights in the averaging so that both noise types are reduced and image structures are preserved and the performance of the method is competitive with respect to state-of-the-art filters.
Abstract
Mixed impulsive and Gaussian noise reduction from digital color images is a challenging task because it is necessary to appropriately process both types of noise that in turn need to be distinguished from the original image structures such as edges and details. Fuzzy theory is useful to build simple, efficient, and effective solutions for this problem. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy method to reduce Gaussian and impulsive noise from color images. Our method uses one only filtering operation: a weighted averaging. A fuzzy rule system is used to assign the weights in the averaging so that both noise types are reduced and image structures are preserved. We provide experimental results to show that the performance of the method is competitive with respect to state-of-the-art filters.

Two-stage quaternion switching vector filter for color impulse noise removal

TL;DR: The proposed solution is a quaternion switching vector filter in which the impulse detection consists of two stages and the concept of peer group is modified and extended to the directional samples to further detect whether they are corrupted by impulse noise or not.

Sequence-to-Sequence Similarity-Based Filter for Image Denoising

TL;DR: A new concept of sequence-to-sequence similarity (SSS) is presented, an efficient method to evaluate the content similarity for images, especially for edge information, and a new SSS-based filter is introduced, which utilizes the edge information in the corrupted image to address image denoising problems.

Bilateral filtering for gray and color images

TL;DR: In contrast with filters that operate on the three bands of a color image separately, a bilateral filter can enforce the perceptual metric underlying the CIE-Lab color space, and smooth colors and preserve edges in a way that is tuned to human perception.

On the origin of the bilateral filter and ways to improve it

TL;DR: It is shown that the bilateral filter emerges from the Bayesian approach, as a single iteration of some well-known iterative algorithm, and improved and extended to treat more general reconstruction problems.
