• Noise is an unwanted or distort signal that may corrupt the
quality or the originality of the image.
• Produced due to transmission
• Undesirable effects such as artifacts, unrealistic edges, unseen
lines, corners, blurred objects and disturbs background scenes
can also be seen
Noise in Image Processing
Continued..
• Its important and necessary to remove the noise after image
digitization.
• Two images taken one after another in less than 2 s from the
same scene, using the same image acquisition system and
their differences to demonstrate the noise during the image
acquisition
• Most efficient and feasible approach for image noise removal
is to “average” the image by itself
Some reasons of Image Degradation
• Poor image sensors
• Defects in optical lenses in camera
• Non-linearity of the electro-optical sensors
• Graininess of the film material which is utilized to store the
image
• Relative motion between an object and camera
• Wrong focus of camera
• Atmospheric turbulence in remote sensing
• Degradation due to temperature sensitive sensors
• Poor light levels

Types of Filters

Filter
Non-
linear
Filter
 Linear filtering technique is used for reducing random noise
 In this value of output pixel is a linear combination of the values
of the pixels in the input pixels neighborhood
Weight and size of filter can be adjusted to remove the different
types of noises
Increasing the size of the filter results in a smoother image with
less noise, but meanwhile the details of the image are reduced.
Linear Filter
We have to place this mask over the image and multiply each
component of this mask with the corresponding value of the image
and then we will take summation of all these products.
Averaging Operation
3 X 3
5 X 5 7 X 7
Original
 Processed image is blurred and the details are reduced.
 Averaging operation is equivalent to integration operation.
 So, if we integrate a image what we will get is blurred and
smoothing effect.
Gaussian
Filter Wiener Filter
Linear Filter (Types)
• Gaussian filter
 Gaussian filter is used to remove Gaussian noise and will not
blur the image too much, which enables Gaussian filter to
perform well in edge detection
 Probably the most useful
filter (although not the
fastest).
 It effectively reduces the
noise and image details
 It is being used in image processing of meat.
• Wiener filter
 Wiener filter was proposed by Norbert Wiener in 1940.
 Its purpose is to reduce the amount of noise in a signal.
 The aim of the process is to minimize Mean Square Error i.e.,
Difference between the original signal and the new signal
should be as small as possible.
 Power spectra of original noise must be known, before its
application.
 If the variance is large, wiener performs little smoothing
 If it is small, wiener performs more smoothing
Median Filter (Non-linear)
• Intensity values of pixels in a small region with the size of the
filter are examined, and the median intensity value is selected
for the central pixel.
Two primary advantages –
1) does not reduce the brightness difference of images, as the
intensity values of the filtered image are taken from the
original one.
2) median filter does not shift the edges of images.
• These are most effective against random noise or salt and
pepper noise.
Example…
Medianfilter
Standard Median Filter
Hybrid Median Filter
Progressive Switching
Median Filter
Adaptive Median Filter
• Standard Median Filter
 Filtering is conducted across to each pixel without considering
the contamination status of an image.
 Corrupted pixels with contributions in the image details are
filtered, which results in the loss of some image information
 Mechanism detecting impulse noise is introduced before
performing image filtering to solve this.
 detection mechanism would enable the corrupted pixels to be
filtered and uncorrupted ones to be kept intact.
• Hybrid Median Filter
 Modified version of median filter and used in removing impulse
noise without losing edges.
 Pixel value of a point is replaced by the
 median pixel value of 4-neighborhood of the point,
 median pixel value of cross neighbors of the point, and
 median pixel value of the point
• Progressive Switching Median Filter
 Used to detect and remove the impulse noise from highly
corrupted images.
 Impulse pixels located in the middle of large noise blotches can
be properly detected and filtered, showing better results in up to
60% noise
 Performance drastically reduced when the noise is over 60%
• Adaptive Median Filter
 Used for discriminating corrupted and uncorrupted pixels
 Noisy pixels replaced by median value and uncorrupted pixels
left unchanged.
 Filter performs better at low noise densities.
 Better noise removal is also obtained at higher noise densities
after increasing the window size.
Sharpening Filters
• We have seen, integration operation is giving blurred and
smoothing effect
• So, its opposite differentiation function will give sharpening
effect
• Two type of derivatives are used
1) First order derivative
2) Second order derivative
• First order derivatives generally produces thicker edges in an
image
• Second order derivatives give stronger response to fine details
such as thin lines and isolated points
• First order derivative have stronger response to gray level step
• Second order derivative produce a double response at step
edges
 Second order derivatives are better suited for image
enhancement.
Thank you
