AN OPTIMIZED DIRECTION STATISTICS FOR DETECTING AND REMOVING RANDOM-VALUED IMPULSE NOISE

摘要

In this paper, we propose a robust local image statistic based on optimized direction, by which we can distinguish image details and edges from impulse noise effectively. Therefore it can identify noisy pixels more accurately. Meanwhile, we combine it with the edge-preserving regularization to remove random-valued impulse noise in the cause of precise estimated value. Simulation results show that our method can preserve edges and details efficiently even at high noise levels.
