In this paper a new technique is used to removing mixed multichannel noise from multichannel image. The mixed noise in the multichannel image is detected by using multiscale detection. The HSDLF (Half space deepest location filter) is used to find the noise present in the half space deepest location. By developing the DEEPLOC algorithm in spatial domain the accuracy and effectiveness is increased in HSDL and also time complexity is reduced.

INTRODUCTION |
Removal of mixed noise in multichannel image is most important problem in digital image processing and one denoising
algorithm cannot be used for removal of mixed noise. The main aim of denoising algorithm is used to remove the noise and
preserve the image details. |
The digital images consist of salt & pepper noise, additive noise and multiplicative noise. The unwanted random image
that is added with the original image is the additive noise. Resistive circuits and opamps are the orgin of additive noise. The
salt and pepper noise have dark pixels in bright regions and bright pixels in dark regions. The orgin of this noise is sensor
cells; memory cells failure and synchronization errors in image digitizing. The unwanted random image that is multiplied
with the relevant image is the multiplicative noise and it can be caused during capture or transmission of images. |
This paper contains the section I as the introduction, effect of noise and denoising in section II ,the spatial domain
denoising in section III, multi scale detection, DEEPLOC algorithm in section III, Experimental images in section IV, and
conclusion in section V. |
LITERATURE SURVEY |
The noise in the digital image is replaced in the spatial domain or transform domain [1]. The transform domain is
used to remove low noise densities and it has the disadvantages as Oscillation, aliasing and absence of phase information.
The spatial domain is used for high noise densities and it is most efficient than the transform domain[2].The BDND uses
noise detection and filtering to remove the noise. Detection is based on clustering. |
The filtering replaces the noisy pixel by its estimate of original value. It degrades the system performance [3].The fuzzy
method uses the FMLAWK filters to reduce noise. It preserves the edges but it increase the computation time [4]. The cloud
filter restores an image with good preservation. Noise increases the run time also increases. The AM-EPR cannot preserve
the details for high level noise[5].The fuzzy rules based on spatial ,temporal and color information and it needs two filtering
steps[6].The PDE method depends on the conductance coefficient and it provide good tradeoff[7]. The fourth order PDE is
uses the median filter to remove multiplicative noise .It avoids the blocky effects[8].The modified K-SVD algorithm is used
.It demonstrate better performance but it take more computation time[9].Iterative impulse noise detector is used to detect the
noisy pixels .The adaptive median filter is used to restore them[10]. Noisy pixels are replaced by average value and the
nonlinear filtering is used. These methods are take more computation time. The main goal is to reduce the computation time
and preserve the edge details. Spatial domain denoising |
SPATIAL DOMAIN FILTERING |
The spatial domain filtering affects all the pixels in an image. It affects pixels which corrupted by noise and uncorrupted
noisy pixels. Due to this the output images are blurred and edges are undetectable. The nonlinear filters are used to
overcome this problem. The speckle, salt & pepper cannot be separated from an image using a linear filter .So the nonlinear
filter should be used in the spatial domain. Except some nonlinear transforms all the other nonlinear filter can be
implemented only in the spatial domain. The nonlinear vector filters produce excellent result in multichannel denoising.
Processing of a local neighborhood should be reduced in the spatial domain filtering. |
The nonlinear vectors are currently used to remove impulse noise but this filtering method is fundamentally different
approach. The multichannel image preserves the Spectral correlation between the channels. The deepest locations are
founded simultaneously and find the most central point in the multichannel image. The spatial domain needs memory
requirement because it identifies the noise and finds the location by using the noise map. To reduce the memory requirement
go for the multiscale detection. |
The input image used here is ultrasonic image .the noise signal are added to the input image .the noise present in the
image is detected by using the multiscale detection. The half space deepest location is founded by using the HSDLF .Noise
is removed by using the DEEPLOC algorithm. The wavelet filter is used to filter the noise in the DEEPLOC algorithm. |
METHODS USED |
A. Multiscale detection: |
The noise detection plays important role in the denoising algorithm. The multiscale detection is applied on the noisy
image to detect the noisy pixels in an image. The reason for choosing multi scale detection is it exploits the edges and
details in different scales and average value always greater because of the noise levels. The images are first smoothened and
noise at different level are combined and normalized. Then the normalized value is compared to the set of predetermined
threshold. The resultant value is greater than the predetermined threshold then the pixel consist of noise.0 represents the
noise free pixel and 1 represents the corrupted pixel. The noise in the image is detected by using the following steps. |
The convolution of noisy image Y(i,j) and the Gaussian kernel function G(t,i,j) is given by, |
|
Where,* represents convolution operation t represents resolution of the image and take finite set of elements. |
|
represents the smoothened image |
1. Take different values for „t‟ and find the difference between the noisy image Y(i,j) and smoothened image is denoted
by
„M‟ and it is given by, |
|
Where, k is the normalizing constant. |
2. Consider different threshold values for different noise level or particular noise level. Pixel detected by noise level or
density is given by, M (i,j)>T, then Y (i,j) is noisy pixel. From this method different threshold values are obtained. |
For |
different noise level or image should be considered. |
B. DEEPLOC algorithm: |
1. FIND HSDLF: |
In this algorithm use 24 bit (each color consist of 8 bit) multichannel image and the coordinates are the R, G, B. The half
space deepest location filter increases the number of directions from class. It preserves the image detail and edges.it consist
of less number of artefacts than the other denoising methods. It does not depend on the densities or variables of noise. It can
be computed by the following steps Fill the text from your manuscript in different sections. |
1. Find the Tukey‟s median in every dimension d and it is given by, |
|
2. After computing the median value, the directions are found by, |
|
3. The average direction U move is given by, |
|
C. Flowchart: |
The noisy image is taken and the deepest locations are founded. Then the HSDLF is applied for find the noise in the half
space deepest location. The threshold control parameter „p‟ is used to control the direction of threshold value in all
direction. After performing the threshing the image is compressed. The compressed image is taken for filtering .The wavelet
filtering is used to filter the noise. This method improves the PSNR values and the computation time is reduced. |
D. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS: |
The experimental results shows the high density noise is removed from the image and the edge should be preserved. It
should consume less computation time. Better resolution should be achieved. |
CONCLUSION |
In this paper proposed spatial domain for removal of mixed multichannel noise based on location depth. The HSDLF
successfully preserves the edges and image details from original images. The filter takes spectral correlation between
channels in the multichannel images. Also, it does not depend on the nature or distribution of noise or any specific digital
image format, which means that it is implemented on the lossy compressed image and other types of multichannel noise.
HSDL can improve the accuracy , effectiveness and the computation is reduced compared to previous method. |
