Salt and pepper noise filtering algorithms based on switch two-stage detection
Switch median filters are very suitable for detection and removal of the salt and pepper noise. An algorithm based on signal local difference and an algorithm based on signal directional difference for detecting salt and pepper noise were designed in this article. Both of them belong to two-stage noise detection algorithms
and the first-stage detection for both is based on gray-scale range criterion. The difference between the two algorithms embodies in the second-stage detection. The former is based on local difference criterion
and the later is based on directional difference criterion. In the section of algorithm evaluation
first
the optimal parameter settings for the two algorithms were determined through analysis and experiments. Then
the denoising effects of the two algorithms were evaluated by denoising the test images with different noise density. The evaluation results show that the algorithm based on directional difference has better performance than the algorithm based on local difference. For both of the two algorithms
the denoising effects are inversely proportional to noise density. But more importantly
the two algorithms may be prone to misjudge the image-edge pixels or detail pixels as noise points. This will be the main improvement direction of the switch median filtering algorithm in the future. Finally
the two algorithms have the similar computational efficiency. It verifies the structural similarity between them.
