In spite of the advancement in computerized imaging,many image modalities produce images with commotion influencing both the visual quality and upsetting quantitative image analysis.In this way,the research in the zone of image denoising is very dynamic.Among an extraordinary assortment of image restoration and denoising techniques the neural network system-based noise sup-pression is a basic and productive methodology.In this paper,Bilateral Filter(BF)based Modular Neural Networks(MNN)has been utilized for speckle noise sup-pression in the ultrasound image.Initial step the BFfilter is used tofilter the input image.From the output of BF,statistical features such as mean,standard devia-tion,median and kurtosis have been extracted and these features are used to train the MNN.Then,thefiltered images from the BF are again denoised using MNN.The ultrasound dataset from the Kaggle site is used for the training and testing process.The simulation outcomes demonstrate that the BF-MNNfiltering method performs better for the multiplicative noise concealment in UltraSound(US)images.From the simulation results,it has been observed that BF-MNN performs better than the existing techniques in terms of peak signal to noise ratio(34.89),Structural Similarity Index(0.89)and Edge Preservation Index(0.67).
