Kong Yongqi, Pan Zhigeng. Salt and pepper noise filtering algorithm based on local border gray-scale differences[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 2013, 18(3): 249-256. DOI: 10.11834/jig.20130301.
In order to reduce detection error in high density salt and pepper noise and to improve the filtering performance
a new local adaptive gray similarity bilateral filter algorithm is proposed in this paper. First
the algorithm extracts quasi-noise through gray-scale extremism of salt and pepper gray values
and then detects the local window border for every quasi-noise point to get the possible noise collection. Finally
only the pixels in the quasi-noise collection need to be filtered with nearby bilateral weighted gray-scale filtering. Experimental results demonstrate that the new algorithm has increased the parameters for peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR) by 0.2~1.6 dB in different noise density. Experimental results demonstrate that the new algorithm has the most integrated optimal performance in comparison to other filtering algorithms.
