Digital image processing is a subset of the electronic domain wherein the image is converted to an array of small integers, called pixels, representing a physical quantity such as scene radiance, stored in a digital memory, and processed by computer or other digital hardware. Fuzzy logic represents a good mathematical framework to deal with uncertainty of information. Fuzzy image processing [4] is the collection of all approaches that understand, represent and process the images, their segments and features as fuzzy sets. The representation and processing depend on the selected fuzzy technique and on the problem to be solved. This paper combines the features of Image Enhancement and fuzzy logic. This research problem deals with Fuzzy inference system (FIS) which help to take the decision about the pixels of the image under consideration. This paper focuses on the removal of the impulse noise with the preservation of edge sharpness and image details along with improving the contrast of the images which is considered as the one of the most difficult tasks in image processing.
An Efficient Approach of Segmentation and Blind Deconvolution in Image Restor...iosrjce
This paper introduces the concept of Blind Deconvolution for restoration of a digital image and
small segments of a single image that has been degraded due to some noise. Concept of Image Restoration is
used in various areas like in Robotics to take decision, Biomedical research for analysis of tissues, cells and
cellular constituents etc. Segmentation is used to divide an image into multiple meaningful regions. Concept of
segmentation is helpful for restoration of only selected portion of the image hence reduces the complexity of the
system by focusing only on those parts of the image that need to be restored. There exist so many techniques for
the restoration of a degraded image like Wiener filter, Regularized filter, Lucy Richardson algorithm etc. All
these techniques use prior knowledge of blur kernel for restoration process. In Blind Deconvolution technique
Blur kernel initially remains unknown. This paper uses Gaussian low pass filter to convolve an image. Gaussian
low pass filter minimize the problem of ringing effect. Ringing effect occurs in image when transition between
one point to another is not clearly defined. After removing these ringing effects from the restored image,
resultant image will be clear in visibility. The aim of this paper is to provide better algorithm that can be helpful
in removing unwanted features from the image and the quality of the image can be measured in terms of
PSNR(Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and MSE(Mean Square error). Proposed Technique also works well with
Motion Blur.

Image Enhancement by Image Fusion for Crime InvestigationCSCJournals
In the criminal investigation field, images are the principal forms for investigation and for probing crime detection. The imaging science applied in criminal investigation is face detection, surveillance camera imaging, and crime scene analysis. Digital imaging succors image manipulation, alteration and enhancement techniques. The traditional methodologies enhance the given image by improving the local or global components of the image. It proves a debacle since it engages noise amplification, block discontinuities, colour mismatch, edge distortion and checkerboard effects thereby limiting image processing tasks. To the same degree of enhancement, spurned artefacts are given rise. Thus to balance the global and local factors of the image and to weed out the tenebrous components; fusion of multiple alike images are performed to produce a meliorated image. The fusion is done by fusing a pyramid constructed image and a wavelet transformed image. The pyramid image and the wavelet transformed image are then fused through to afford a revealing image for better perception by the human visual system. The experimental results show that our proposed fusion scheme is effective and the fusion is applied over a surveillance camera image grab.

Impulse noise is often introduced into images during acquisition and transmission. Even though so many denoising techniques are existing for the removal of impulse noise in images, most of them are high complexity methods and have only low image quality. Here a low cost, low complexity VLSI architecture for the removal of random valued impulse noise in highly corrupted images is introduced. In this technique a decision- tree- based impulse noise detector is used to detect the noisy pixels and an efficient conditional median filter is used to reconstruct the intensity values of noisy pixels. The proposed technique can improve the signal to noise ratio than any other technique.

Review of Image Segmentation Techniques based on Region Merging ApproachEditor IJMTER
Image segmentation is an important task in computer vision and object recognition. Since
fully automatic image segmentation is usually very hard for natural images, interactive schemes with a
few simple user inputs are good solutions. In image segmentation the image is dividing into various
segments for processing images. The complexity of image content is a bigger challenge for carrying out
automatic image segmentation. On regions based scheme, the images are merged based on the similarity
criteria depending upon comparing the mean values of both the regions to be merged. So, the similar
regions are then merged and the dissimilar regions are merged together.
A Novel Approach For De-Noising CT Imagesidescitation
In this modern times and age, digital images play a
significant role in our day to-day life. Digital images are
utilized in a wide range of fields like medical, business and
more .Digital images play a vital part in the medical field in
which it has been utilized to analyze the anatomy. These
medical images are used in the identification of different
diseases. Regrettably, the medical images have noises due to
its different sources in which it has been produced.
Confiscating such noises from the medical images is extremely
crucial because these noises may degrade the quality of the
images and also baffle the identification of the
disease. Hence, de-noising of medical images is indispensable.
In this paper we demonstrate the implementations of de-

acquired to MATLAB7.5. After acquisition the CT image is
given to preprocessing stage. Here the film artifacts are
removed. In the third stage, the high frequency components
and noise are removed from the CT image using median filter,
mean filter and Wiener filter
Ultrasound images and SAR i.e. synthetic aperture radar images are usually corrupted because of speckle
noise also called as granular noise. It is quite a tedious task to remove such noise and analyze those
corrupted images. Till now many researchers worked to remove speckle noise using frequency domain
methods, temporal methods, and adaptive methods. Different filters have been developed as Mean and
Median filters, Statistic Lee filter, Statistic Kuan filter, Frost filter, Srad filter. This paper reviews filters

Non-Blind Deblurring Using Partial Differential Equation MethodEditor IJCATR
In this paper, a new idea for two dimensional image deblurring algorithm is introduced which uses basic concepts of PDEs... The various methods to estimate the degradation function (PSF is known in prior called non-blind deblurring) for use in restoration are observation, experimentation and mathematical modeling. Here, PDE based mathematical modeling is proposed to model the degradation and recovery process. Several restoration methods such as Weiner Filtering, Inverse Filtering [1], Constrained Least Squares, and Lucy -Richardson iteration remove the motion blur either using Fourier Transformation in frequency domain or by using optimization techniques. The main difficulty with these methods is to estimate the deviation of the restored image from the original image at individual points that is due to the mechanism of these methods as processing in frequency domain .Another method, the travelling wave de-blurring method is a approach that works in spatial domain.PDE type of observation model describes well several physical mechanisms, such as relative motion between the camera and the subject (motion blur), bad focusing (defocusing blur), or a number of other mechanisms which are well modeled by a convolution. In last PDE method is compared with the existing restoration techniques such as weiner filters, median filters [2] and the results are compared on the basis of calculated PSNR for various noises

Images of different body organs play very important role in medical diagnosis. Images can be taken
by using different techniques like x-rays, gamma rays, ultrasound etc. Ultrasound images are widely used
as a diagnosis tool because of its non invasive nature and low cost. The medical images which uses the
principle of coherence suffers from speckle noise, which is multiplicative in nature. Ultrasound images are
coherent images so speckle noise is inherited in ultrasound images which occur at the time of image
acquisition. There are many factors which can degrade the quality of image but noise present in ultrasound
image is a prime factor which can negatively affect result while autonomous machine perception. In this
paper we will discuss types of noises and speckle reduction techniques. In the end, study about speckle
reduction in ultrasound of various researchers will be compared.
An Efficient Image Denoising Approach for the Recovery of Impulse NoisejournalBEEI
Image noise is one of the key issues in image processing applications today. The noise will affect the quality of the image and thus degrades the actual information of the image. Visual quality is the prerequisite for many imagery applications such as remote sensing. In recent years, the significance of noise assessment and the recovery of noisy images are increasing. The impulse noise is characterized by replacing a portion of an image’s pixel values with random values Such noise can be introduced due to transmission errors. Accordingly, this paper focuses on the effect of visual quality of the image due to impulse noise during the transmission of images. In this paper, a hybrid statistical noise suppression technique has been developed for improving the quality of the impulse noisy color images. We further proved the performance of the proposed image enhancement scheme using the advanced performance metrics.
Advance in Image and Audio Restoration and their Assessments: A ReviewIJCSES Journal
Image restoration is the process of restoring the original image from a degraded one. Images can be affected by various types of noise, such as Gaussian noise, impulse noise, and affected by blurring, which is happened during image recordings like motion blur, Out-of-Focus Blur, and others. Image restoration techniques are used to reverse the effect of noise and blurring. Restoration of distorted images can be done using some information about noise and the blurring nature or without any knowledge about the image degradation process. Researchers have proposed many algorithms in this regard; in this paper, different noise and degradation models and restoration methods will be discussed and review some researches in this field.
Pattern Approximation Based Generalized Image Noise Reduction Using Adaptive ...IJECEIAES
The problem of noise interference with the image always occurs irrespective of whatever precaution is taken. Challenging issues with noise reduction are diversity of characteristics involved with source of noise and in result; it is difficult to develop a universal solution. This paper has proposed neural network based generalize solution of noise reduction by mapping the problem as pattern approximation. Considering the statistical relationship among local region pixels in the noise free image as normal patterns, feedforward neural network is applied to acquire the knowledge available within such patterns. Adaptiveness is applied in the slope of transfer function to improve the learning process. Acquired normal patterns knowledge is utilized to reduce the level of different type of noise available within an image by recorrection of noisy patterns through pattern approximation. The proposed restoration method does not need any estimation of noise model characteristics available in the image not only that it can reduce the mixer of different types of noise efficiently. The proposed method has high processing speed along with simplicity in design. Restoration of gray scale image as well as color image has done, which has suffered from different types of noise like, Gaussian noise, salt &peper, speckle noise and mixer of it.

Adaptive Noise Reduction Scheme for Salt and Peppersipij
In this paper, a new adaptive noise reduction scheme for images corrupted by impulse noise is presented. The proposed scheme efficiently identifies and reduces salt and pepper noise. MAG (Mean Absolute Gradient) is used to identify pixels which are most likely corrupted by salt and pepper noise that are candidates for further median based noise reduction processing. Directional filtering is then applied after noise reduction to achieve a good tradeoff between detail preservation and noise removal. The proposed scheme can remove salt and pepper noise with noise density as high as 90% and produce better result in terms of qualitative and quantitative measures of images.

A literature review of various techniques available on Image DenoisingAI Publications
This paper provides a literature review of the different approaches used for image denoising. Various approaches are studied and their results are compared to provide a better understanding of the filters used to de-noise images. It is shown that how a single image is subjected to various denoising techniques and how it can react to those filters. Statistical and mean deviation techniques used by halder et al. (2019)1 and CNN techniques used by zing et al.(2018)2 are reviewed in detail to show how salt and pepper noise can be removed from the images. Each paper that is discussed here has explored the individual approach based on their research and the aim of this paper is to discuss all those approaches in a subsequent manner.
Filtering Corrupted Image and Edge Detection in Restored Grayscale Image Usin...CSCJournals
In this paper, different first and second derivative filters are investigated to find edge map after denoising a corrupted gray scale image. We have proposed a new derivative filter of first order and described a novel approach of edge finding with an aim to find better edge map in a restored gray scale image. Subjective method has been used by visually comparing the performance of the proposed derivative filter with other existing first and second order derivative filters. The root mean square error and root mean square of signal to noise ratio have been used for objective evaluation of the derivative filters. Finally, to validate the efficiency of the filtering schemes different algorithms are proposed and the simulation study has been carried out using MATLAB 5.0.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Abstract
Digital image processing is a subset of the electronic domain wherein the image
is converted to an array of small integers, called pixels, representing a physical
quantity such as scene radiance, stored in a digital memory, and processed by
computer or other digital hardware. Fuzzy logic represents a good mathematical
framework to deal with uncertainty of information. Fuzzy image processing [4] is
the collection of all approaches that understand, represent and process the
images, their segments and features as fuzzy sets. The representation and
processing depend on the selected fuzzy technique and on the problem to be
solved. This paper combines the features of Image Enhancement and fuzzy
logic. This research problem deals with Fuzzy inference system (FIS) which help
to take the decision about the pixels of the image under consideration. This
paper focuses on the removal of the impulse noise with the preservation of edge
sharpness and image details along with improving the contrast of the images
which is considered as the one of the most difficult tasks in image processing.
Keywords: Digital Image Processing (DIP), Image Enhancement (IE), Fuzzy Logic (FL), Peak-signal-to-
noise-ratio (PSNR).
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Image Processing
An image is digitized to convert it to a form which can be stored in a computer memory or on
some form of storage media such as hard disk or CD-ROM. This digitization procedure can be
done by scanner, or by video camera connected to frame grabber board in computer. Once the
image has been digitized, it can be operated upon by various image processing operations.
Image processing operations [1] can be roughly divided into three major categories, Image
Compression, Image Enhancement and Restoration and Measurement Extraction. Image

compression involves in reducing the amount of memory needed to store a digital image. Image
restoration is the process of taking an image with some known, or estimated, degradation, and
restoring it to its original appearance. Image restoration is often used in the field of photography
or publication where an image was somehow degraded, but need to be improved before it can be
printed. Image enhancement is improving an image visually.
The main advantage of IE is in the removal of noise in the images. Removing or reducing noise in
the images is very active research area in the field of DIP.
1.2 Noise in Images
Image noise is the random variation of brightness or color information in images produced by the
sensor and circuitry of a scanner or digital camera. Image noise can also originate in film grain
and in the unavoidable shot noise of an ideal photon detector. Image noise is generally regarded
as an undesirable by-product of image capture. Although these unwanted fluctuations became
known as "noise" by analogy with unwanted sound, they are inaudible and actually beneficial in
some applications, such as dithering.
The impulse noise (or salt and pepper noise) is caused by sharp, sudden disturbances in the
image signal; its appearance is randomly scattered white or black (or both) pixels over the image.
Fig. 1.1 shows an original image and the image which is corrupted with salt and pepper noise.
Noise filtering can be viewed as removing the noise from the corrupted image and smoothen it so
that the original image can be viewed. Noise filtering can be viewed as replacing every pixel in
the image with a new value depending on the fuzzy based rules. Ideally, the filtering algorithm
should vary from pixel to pixel based on the local context.

1.3 Objectives
The objective of the paper is to give a new better, faster and efficient solution for removing the
noise from the corrupted images. The main point under consideration is that the noise-free pixels
must remain unchanged. The main focus will be on:
1. Removal of the noise from the test image.
2. Noise free pixels must remain unchanged.
3. Edges must be preserved.
4. Improve the contrast

2. PROPOSED WORK
In literature several (fuzzy and non-fuzzy) filters have been studied [2] [3] [5] [6] for impulse noise
reduction. These techniques are often complementary to existing techniques and can contribute
to the development of better and robust methods. Impulse noise is caused by errors in the data
transmission generated in noisy sensors or communication channels, or by errors during the data
capture from digital cameras. Noise is usually quantified by the percentage of pixels which are
corrupted. Removing impulsive noise while preserving the edges and image details is the difficult
issue.
Traditionally, IE techniques such as mean and median filtering have been employed in various
applications in the past and are still being used. Although these techniques remove the impulsive
noise but they were unable to preserve the sharpness of the edges. They smooth the noise as
well as the edge sharpness. They were unable to improve the contrast of the image. A fuzzy
theory based IE avoids these problems and is a better method than the traditional methods. The
proposed filter provides an alternative approach in which the noise of colored image is removed
and the contrast is improved.
To achieve a good performance, a noise reduction algorithm should adapt itself to the spatial
context. Noise smoothing and edge enhancement are inherently conflicting processes, since
smoothing a region might destroy an edge, while sharpening edges might lead to unnecessary
noise. Many techniques to overcome these problems have been proposed in literature. In this
thesis a new filter, based on the concepts of IE and FL have been introduced that not only
smooth the noise but also preserves the edges and improve its contrast. The test images taken
into consideration have impulse noise or salt and pepper noise.
The work is done in two phases. In the first phase, the noise in the images is removed and in the
second phase, contrast is improved. The output image generated is noise-free high-contrast
image.
The noise intensity in the same test image varies as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. For each
case the PSNR and Execution time is calculated.
2.1 Phase 1: Removal of Impulsive Noise
For each pixel (i, j) of the image (that isn’t a border pixel) we use a 3×3 neighborhood window.
For each pixel position we have the gradient values. The two related gradient values for the pixel
in each direction are given by the following table:
TABLE 1. Basic and two related gradient values for each direction.
These values indicate in which degree the central pixel can be seen as an impulse noise pixel.
The fuzzy gradient value for direction R (R є {NW, N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W}), is
calculated by the following fuzzy rule:
If | | is large AND | | is small
OR
| | is large AND | | is small
OR

is big positive AND ( AND ) are big negative
OR
is big negative AND ( AND ) are big positive
Then is large.
Where is the basic gradient and and are the two related gradient
values for the direction R. Because “large”, “small”, “big negative” and “big positive” are non-
deterministic features, these terms can be represented as fuzzy sets. Fuzzy sets can be
represented by a membership function. Examples of the membership functions LARGE (for the
fuzzy set large), SMALL (for the fuzzy set small), BIG POSITIVE (for the fuzzy set big positive)
and BIG NEGATIVE (for the fuzzy set big negative)
When we get the gradient values we apply the similarity function. The similarity function is µ: [0
;∞) →R. We will need the following assumptions for µ:
1. µ is decreasing in [0 ;∞),
2. µ is convex in [0 ;∞),
3. µ (0) = 1, µ (∞) = 0.
In the construction, the central pixel in the window W is replaced by that one, which maximizes
the sum of similarities between all its neighbors. Basic assumption is that a new pixel must be
taken from the window W. Each of the neighbors of the central pixel is moved to the center of the
filtering window and the central pixel is rejected from W. For each pixel of the neighborhood,
which is being placed in the center of W, the total sum of similarities is calculated and then
compared with maximum sum. The total sum of similarities is calculated without taking into
account the original central pixel, which is rejected from the filter window. In this way, the central
pixel is replaced by that pixel from the neighborhood, for which the total similarity function, which
is a sum of all values of similarities between the central pixel and its neighbors, reaches its
maximum. The filter tends to replace the original pixel only when it is really noisy and preserves in
this way the image structures.
2.2 Improving the Contrast of the Image
In the first phase we remove the noise from the image. Now the test image generated after
removing the noise is operated upon again to improve its contrast, which is the second phase of
the algorithm.
For improving the contrast of the image following steps are done:
1. Setting the shape of membership function (regarding to the actual image)
2. Setting the value of fuzzifier Beta
3. Calculation of membership values
4. Modification of the membership values by linguistic hedge
5. Generation of new gray-levels
3. RESULTS
The test images are operated on different intensities of noise as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%.
Different PSNR and evaluation time are calculated for each image with different noise intensities.
The results are shown:

4. CONSLUSION & FUTURE WORK
Various test images of different extensions are fed to the system. The images are corrupted with
salt and pepper noise as well as are of low contrast. The filter is seen to preserve intricate
features of the image while removing heavy impulse noise where as the conventional mean and
median filters fail in this context even at low corruption levels. The learning of fuzzy rules in a
fuzzy image filter with a true hierarchical fuzzy logic structure where the output of the first layer is
fed in to the second layer to obtain an ‘improved’ final output. The evaluation parameters PSNR
and Evaluation time taken are evaluated. The program generates positive PSNR and is above
20dB which is considered to be the best ratio. The overall execution time which the program
takes is approximately 15 seconds.
In future, modification of fuzzy rules can produce better result. Other techniques such as PSO
can also be used for image enhancement.
