Abstract

In modern society digital equipments that are related with various hardware and software are popularized, and digital images are widely applied in the field of production and scientific research. In general, however, images are degraded by the noise in the process of transmission and storage. In this paper, to reduce the influence of mixed noises, the algorithm in which noises in the space area are classified into impulse noise and Gaussian noise and this is processed by applying weighted value, while that is processed by modified nonlinear filter is proposed. And the excellence of the proposed algorithm is judged by PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio).

현대 사회의 정보 통신은 다양한 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 관련한 디지털 장치가 대중화되고 있으며 디지털 영상은 생산 및 과학연구에 광범위하게 응용되고 있다. 그러나 일반적으로 영상의 전송 및 저장하는 과정에서 잡음이 첨가되어 영상의 질을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 영상에 첨가되는 복합잡음의 영향을 완화하기 위하여 공간영역에서 잡음의 종류에 의해 임펄스 잡음과 가우시안 잡음을 분류하여 처리하며, 임펄스 잡음일 경우, 변형된 비선형 필터 처리하고 가우시안 잡음일 경우, 가중치를 적용시켜 처리하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 그리고 PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio)을 사용하여 제안한 알고리즘의 우수성을 판단하였다.
