Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFPGA IMPLEMENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF IMPULSE NOISE REDUCTION IN IMAGESP. Thirumurugan, S. Sasikumar, C. SugapriyaThe images are affected by random valued impulse noises during the image capturing and processing stages. In this study, an efficient, high performance and low hardware utilized impulse noise reduction algorithm is presented. This methodology determines the optimum direction pixels through the estimation of standard deviation. The edges in the images are preserved during the process of impulse noise detection … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 19 Apr 2014 · 7,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNOVEL COLOR FILTER ARRAY DEMOSAICING IN FREQUENCY DOMAIN WITH SPATIAL REFINEMENTR. Niruban, T. Sree Renga Raja, T. Sree SharmilaThe main idea behind wavelet based demosaicing with spatial refinement is to reconstruct the full resolution color image from the mosaiced image. In this study, a new effective wavelet based demosaicing algorithm for interpolating the missing color components in Bayer’s Color Filter Array (CFA) pattern is proposed. This interpolation technique uses the interchannel correlation among the high frequency subbands to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 9 Apr 2014 · 6,711 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNOVEL IMAGE-DEPENDENT QUALITY ASSESSMENT MEASURESZahir M. Hussain, Asaad Noori HashimThe image is a 2D signal whose pixels are highly correlated in a 2D manner. Hence, using pixel by pixel error what we called previously Mean-Square Error, (MSE) is not an efficient way to compare two similar images (e.g., an original image and a compressed version of it). Due to this correlation, image comparison needs a correlative quality measure. It … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 27 Feb 2014 · 7,436 accessesView PDFCite
