This Paper Analyze the performance of Unsymmetrical trimmed median, which is used as detector for the detection of impulse noise, Gaussian noise and mixed noise is proposed. The proposed algorithm uses a fixed 3x3 window for the increasing noise densities. The pixels in the current window are arranged in sorting order using a improved snake like sorting algorithm with reduced comparator. The processed pixel is checked for the occurrence of outliers, if the absolute difference between processed pixels is greater than fixed threshold. Under high noise densities the processed pixel is also noisy hence the median is checked using the above procedure. if found true then the pixel is considered as noisy hence the corrupted pixel is replaced by the median of the current processing window. If median is also noisy then replace the corrupted pixel with unsymmetrical trimmed median else if the pixel is termed uncorrupted and left unaltered. The proposed algorithm (PA) is tested on varying detail images for various noises. The proposed algorithm effectively removes the high density fixed value impulse noise, low density random valued impulse noise, low density Gaussian noise and lower proportion of mixed noise. The proposed algorithm is targeted on Xc3e5000-5fg900 FPGA using Xilinx 7.1 compiler version which requires less number of slices, optimum speed and low power when compared to the other median finding architectures.
This document summarizes a research paper that compares different image filtering methods for reducing noise, including an adaptive bilateral filter, median filter, and Butterworth filter. The paper applies these filters to images with added Gaussian white noise and compares the results based on visual quality, mean squared error (MSE), and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). It finds that the adaptive bilateral filter produces the best results with the lowest MSE and highest PSNR, indicating it most effectively removes noise while preserving image details and sharpness.
Novel adaptive filter (naf) for impulse noise suppression from digital imagesijbbjournal
In general, it is known that an adaptive filter adjusts its parameters iteratively such as size of the working
window, decision threshold values used in two stage detection-estimation based switching filters, number of
iterations etc. It is also known that nonlinear filters such as median filters and its several variants are
popularly known for their ability in dealing with the unknown circumstances. In this paper an efficient and
simple adaptive nonlinear filtering scheme is presented to eliminate the impulse noise from the digital images with an impulsive noise detection and reduction scheme based on adaptive nonlinear filter techniques. The proposed scheme employs image statistics based dynamically varying working window and an adaptive threshold for noise detection with a Noise Exclusive Median (NEM) based restoration. The intensity value of the Noise Exclusive Median (NEM) is derived from the processed pixels in local
neighborhood of a dynamically adaptive window. In the proposed scheme use of an adaptive threshold value derived from the noisy image statistics returns more precise results for the noisy pixel detection. The
proposed scheme is simple and can be implemented as either a single pass or a multi-pass with a maximum
of three iterations with a simple stopping criterion. The goodness of the proposed scheme is evaluated with respect to the qualitative and quantitative measures obtained by MATLAB simulations with standard images added with impulsive noise of varying densities. From the comparative analysis it is evident that the proposed scheme out performs the state-of-art schemes, preferably in cases of high-density impulse noise

This paper addresses image enhancement system consisting of image denoising technique based on Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT) . The proposed algorithm at the outset models the noisy remote sensing image (NRSI) statistically by aptly amalgamating the structural features and textures from it. This statistical model is decomposed using DTCWT with Tap-10 or length-10 filter banks based on

The method uses a novel combination of mean, median, and trimmed values to eliminate salt and pepper noise while preserving image details like edges. The method is tested on images like Mandrill and Lena and is shown to outperform other filters like the standard median filter, decision based median filter, and modified decision based median filter in terms of peak signal to noise ratio and mean square error values, with better visual quality.

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

The document proposes a new noise removal technique called the Modified Decision Based Unsymmetrical Trimmed Median Filter (MDBUTMF). The MDBUTMF first detects salt and pepper noise pixels before filtering. It then classifies each pixel as either noisy or noise-free. Noise-free pixels are left unchanged, while noisy pixels are processed depending on their neighbors: if all neighbors are noisy, the pixel is replaced with the mean; otherwise, noisy neighbors are eliminated and the pixel is replaced with the median. The algorithm aims to remove noise while preserving details better than existing methods. It processes each image pixel with this classification and filtering approach to reduce salt and pepper noise from corrupted images.
Comparison of Denoising Filters on Greyscale TEM Image for Different NoiseIOSR Journals
This document compares five different filters for removing noise from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images: Wiener filter using discrete wavelet transform, hybrid median filter, bilateral filter, dual vectorial ROF filter, and fuzzy histogram equalization. Four types of noise are added to TEM images at varying levels: Gaussian noise, speckle noise, salt and pepper noise, and Poisson noise. The filters are applied to the noisy images and evaluated based on mean, mean square error, signal-to-noise ratio, and peak signal-to-noise ratio. Simulation results show that the dual vectorial ROF filter performs the best according to the evaluation metrics for each type of noise.
This document describes an image denoising technique called the TWIST (Transform With Iterative Sampling and Thresholding) method. It begins with background on common types of image noise like Gaussian, salt-and-pepper, and quantization noise. It then discusses related work using eigendecomposition and the Nystrom extension for denoising. The proposed TWIST method uses the Nystrom extension to approximate the filter matrix with a low-rank matrix, allowing efficient processing of the entire image. It performs eigendecomposition on sample pixels to estimate eigenvalues and eigenvectors, then iterates this process with thresholding to denoise the image while preserving edges.
Image Denoising is an important part of diverse image processing and computer vision problems. The
important property of a good image denoising model is that it should completely remove noise as far as
possible as well as preserve edges. One of the most powerful and perspective approaches in this area is
image denoising using discrete wavelet transform (DWT). In this paper, comparison of various Wavelets at
different decomposition levels has been done. As number of levels increased, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio
(PSNR) of image gets decreased whereas Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Square Error (MSE) get
increased . A comparison of filters and various wavelet based methods has also been carried out to denoise
the image. The simulation results reveal that wavelet based Bayes shrinkage method outperforms other
methods.

Image denoising using new adaptive based median filtersipij
Noise is a major issue while transferring images through all kinds of electronic communication. One of the
most common noise in electronic communication is an impulse noise which is caused by unstable voltage.
In this paper, the comparison of known image denoising techniques is discussed and a new technique using
the decision based approach has been used for the removal of impulse noise. All these methods can
primarily preserve image details while suppressing impulsive noise. The principle of these techniques is at
first introduced and then analysed with various simulation results using MATLAB. Most of the previously

A Decision tree and Conditional Median Filter Based Denoising for impulse noi...IJERA Editor
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.
Noise in images can take various forms and have different sources. Gaussian noise follows a normal distribution and looks like subtle color variations, while salt and pepper noise completely replaces some pixel values with maximum or minimum values. Mean, median, and trimmed filters are commonly used to reduce noise. Mean filters average pixel values within a window, but can blur details. Median filters replace the center pixel with the median value in the window, which is effective for salt and pepper noise while retaining details better than mean filters. Adaptive filters vary the window size to better target noise without excessive blurring.
Noise reduction by fuzzy image filtering(synopsis)Mumbai Academisc
This document proposes a new fuzzy filter for reducing noise in images corrupted with additive noise. The filter has two stages: 1) it computes a fuzzy derivative in eight directions to be less sensitive to edges, and 2) it performs fuzzy smoothing by weighting neighboring pixel values, adapting the membership functions based on the noise level after each iteration. The filter can remove heavy noise effectively through iterative application. Experimental results show the feasibility of the approach and are compared to other filters.
In the past two decades, the technique of image processing has made its way into every aspect of today’s tech-savvy society. Its applications encompass a wide variety of specialized disciplines including medical imaging, machine vision, remote sensing and astronomy. Personal images captured by various digital cameras can easily be manipulated by a variety of dedicated image processing algorithms. Image restoration can be described as an important part of image processing technique. The basic objective is to enhance the quality of an image by removing defects and make it look pleasing. The method used to carry out the project was MATLAB software. Mathematical algorithms were programmed and tested for the result to find the necessary output. In this project mathematical analysis was the basic core. Generally the spatial and frequency domain methods were both important and applicable in different technologies. This project has tried to show the comparison between spatial and frequency domain approaches and their advantages and disadvantages. This project also suggested that more research have to be done in many other image processing applications to show the importance of those methods.
The document discusses image restoration techniques. It describes how images can become degraded through phenomena like motion, improper camera focusing, and noise. The goal of image restoration is to recover the original high quality image from its degraded version using knowledge about the degradation process and types of noise. Common noise models include Gaussian, Rayleigh, Erlang, exponential, and impulse noise. Filtering techniques like mean, order statistics, and adaptive filters can be used for restoration by smoothing the image while preserving edges. The adaptive filters change based on local image statistics to better reduce noise with less blurring than regular filters.

Iaetsd literature review on efficient detection and filtering of highIaetsd Iaetsd
This document provides a literature review of techniques for filtering high density impulse noise from images, specifically salt and pepper noise. It discusses several common filtering algorithms: the traditional median filter, switching median filter, and decision-based median filter. The traditional median filter is effective for low noise levels but can blur details at higher noise levels. The switching median filter detects and only processes noisy pixels, reducing processing time and degradation compared to traditional median, but defining an optimal threshold for noise detection is challenging. The document concludes that adaptive weight algorithms may have advantages over existing techniques for reducing salt and pepper noise.

Image restoration can be described as an important part of image processing technique. The basic objective is to enhance the quality of an image by removing defects and make it look pleasing. The method used to carry out the project was MATLAB software. Mathematical algorithms were programmed and tested for the result to find the necessary output. In this project mathematical analysis was the basic core. Generally the spatial and frequency domain methods were both important and applicable in different technologies. This project has tried to show the comparison between spatial and frequency domain approaches and their advantages and disadvantages. This project also suggested that more research have to be done in many other image processing applications to show the importance of those methods.
The document discusses image restoration techniques. It describes how images can become degraded through phenomena like motion, improper camera focusing, and noise. The goal of image restoration is to recover the original high quality image from its degraded version using knowledge about the degradation process and types of noise. Common noise models include Gaussian, Rayleigh, Erlang, exponential, and impulse noise. Filtering techniques like mean, order statistics, and adaptive filters can be used for restoration by smoothing the image while preserving edges. The adaptive filters change based on local image statistics to better reduce noise with less blurring than regular filters.

This document presents a comparative study of various image filtering techniques. It aims to remove noise from images while preserving non-corrupted pixels and details. The study examines median filtering, adaptive median filtering, adaptive center weighted median filtering, and tri-state median filtering. While more advanced filtering reduces noise, it also reduces image details. Adaptive techniques aim to increase filtering efficiency while maintaining details. The filtering effects have applications in medical imaging, geography, mobile devices, and other areas involving image processing.
Image Filtering Using all Neighbor Directional Weighted Pixels: Optimization ...sipij
The document describes an image filtering technique that uses all neighboring directional weighted pixels in a 5x5 window to detect and filter random valued impulse noise. It uses particle swarm optimization to optimize the parameters for the detection and filtering operators. The technique detects noisy pixels using differences between pixel values aligned in four directions in the window. Filtering replaces the pixel with the value that minimizes the variance calculated from pixels in the direction with lowest variance. PSO searches a three-dimensional space of iteration number, threshold, and threshold decrease rate parameters to optimize performance for images with different noise levels. Results show it performs better than other techniques at preserving details while removing noise from highly corrupted images.
Iaetsd literature review on efficient detection and filtering of highIaetsd Iaetsd
This document provides a literature review of techniques for filtering high density impulse noise from images, specifically salt and pepper noise. It discusses several common filtering algorithms: the traditional median filter, switching median filter, and decision-based median filter. The traditional median filter is effective for low noise levels but can blur details at higher noise levels. The switching median filter detects and only processes noisy pixels, reducing processing time and degradation compared to traditional median, but defining an optimal threshold for noise detection is challenging. The document concludes that adaptive weight algorithms may have advantages over existing techniques for reducing salt and pepper noise.

Performance analysis of image filtering algorithms for mri imageseSAT Publishing House
This document analyzes the performance of three image filtering algorithms (median filter, Wiener filter, and center weighted median filter) at removing noise from MRI images. The algorithms are tested on MRI images corrupted with different noise types. The Wiener filter is found to reconstruct images with the highest quality according to measurements of mean square error and peak signal-to-noise ratio. The study concludes the Wiener filter provides the best denoising of MRI images compared to the other algorithms tested.
This document proposes a new dual threshold median filter called Dual Threshold Median Filter (DTMF) for removing random valued impulse noise from digital images while preserving edges. The algorithm has two main stages: noise detection and noise removal. In the detection stage, the maximum and minimum pixel values in a 3x3 window are used to classify the central pixel as noisy or noise-free. Noisy pixels are then replaced in the removal stage using median filtering. The proposed filter is tested on standard images like Lena and Mandrill corrupted with 3-99% random valued impulse noise. Results show it achieves better peak signal-to-noise ratios and lower mean squared errors than previous methods, especially at high noise densities, indicating it effectively
Image Noise Removal by Dual Threshold Median Filter for RVINIOSR Journals
The document proposes a dual threshold median filter (DTMF) for removing random valued impulse noise from digital images while preserving edges. It first detects impulse noise pixels based on maximum and minimum pixel values in a 3x3 window. It then removes the detected noise using median filtering. In high noise densities, it can be difficult to identify noisy pixels or image edges. The proposed filter addresses this by analyzing noisy and noise-free pixels to provide better visual quality in the de-noised image compared to previous methods, as shown by its higher peak signal-to-noise ratio and lower mean squared error on test images with different noise densities.
Study and Analysis of Impulse Noise Reduction Filterssipij
This document summarizes a study on impulse noise reduction filters. It begins by introducing impulse noise and some common filters like the median filter. It then summarizes three impulse noise reduction algorithms in more detail: the Rank-Order based Adaptive Median Filter (RAMF), the Switching Median Filter, and the new Decision Based Filter proposed in this study. The Decision Based Filter aims to address limitations of previous filters by more accurately detecting corrupted pixels and replacing them with reliable values from neighboring uncorrupted pixels, in order to better restore images with high impulse noise ratios. Experimental results showed this new filter outperformed other prominent impulse noise filters.
This document summarizes a student's analysis of different image filtering techniques to reduce noise. It outlines the objective to compare mean, median, adaptive median, and bilateral filters. It introduces various types of image noise like salt and pepper, Gaussian, and speckle noise. Performance is analyzed using PSNR scores. Adaptive median filtering achieved the best results for salt and pepper noise below 0.5 density and Gaussian noise. Average filtering worked best for speckle noise, but frequency domain filters are needed to significantly reduce speckle noise. PSNR is limited and SSIM would provide a better quality assessment.
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.
Restoration of Images Corrupted by High Density Salt & Pepper Noise through A...IOSR Journals
Abstract: In this paper an efficient algorithm is proposed for removal of salt & pepper noise from digital images. Salt and pepper noise in images is present due to bit errors in transmission or introduced during the signal acquisition stage. It represents itself as randomly occurring white and black pixels. This noise can be removed using standard Median Filter (SMF), Progressive Switched Median Filter (PSMF) under low density noise conditions. Decision Based Algorithm (DBA) and Modified Decision Based Unsymmetric Trimmed Median Filter (MDBUTMF) do not give better results at high noise density. So, in this project, this drawback will be overcome by using Adaptive Median based Modified Mean Filter (AMMF). This proposed algorithm shows better Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio and clear image than the existing algorithm.

This document presents a new tristate switching median filtering technique for digital image enhancement. The proposed filter combines two decision-based median filters with a switching scheme to better detect and remove salt and pepper noise while preserving image details. Simulation results on the Lena test image show that the proposed filter achieves better performance than conventional filters in terms of noise removal and edge preservation, especially at higher noise levels. The filter works by applying two different decision-based median filters to the noisy image and comparing their outputs to the original pixel value using a threshold. Pixels are classified and processed differently depending on how their values relate to the filter outputs and threshold. The filter is evaluated quantitatively using peak signal-to-noise ratio to demonstrate its

This allows the filter to take advantage of both filtering techniques to more accurately classify pixels and reduce noise without degrading image features.
This document proposes a new algorithm to reduce striping noise in hyperspectral images.

Accelerated Joint Image Despeckling Algorithm in the Wavelet and Spatial DomainsCSCJournals
This document summarizes an algorithm for reducing speckle noise in images using a two-stage approach combining wavelet and spatial domain filtering. The first stage estimates the optimal parameter value for a spatial speckle reduction filter based on edge pixel statistics and noise variance. The second stage then uses the optimized spatial filter to additionally smooth wavelet approximation sub-band coefficients. A complexity reduction method for wavelet decomposition is also proposed. Existing noise reduction methods like the Lee, Kuan and Frost filters are reviewed for context. The results of applying the proposed two-stage algorithm are promising in terms of improved image quality.

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.
Adaptive denoising technique for colour imageseSAT Journals
Abstract
In digital image processing noise removal or noise filtering plays an important role, because for meaningful and useful processing images should not be corrupted by noises. In recent years, high quality televisions have become very popular but noise often affects TV broadcasts. Impulse noise corrupts the video during transmission and acquisition of signals. A number of denoising techniques have been introduced to remove impulse noise from images . Linear noise filtering technique does not work well when the noise is non-adaptive in nature and hence a number of non-linear filtering technique where introduced. In non-linear filtering technique, median filters and its modifications where used to remove noise but it resulted in blurring of images. Therefore here we propose an adaptive digital signal processing approach that can efficiently remove impulse noise from colour image. This algorithm is based on threshold which is adaptive in nature. This algorithm replaces the pixel only if it is found to be noisy pixel otherwise the original pixel is retained thus it results a better filtering technique when compared to median filters and its modified filters.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF PARALLEL IMPLEMENTATION OF ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDA...ijistjournal
Cryptography is the study of mathematical techniques related to aspects of information security such as confidentiality, data integrity, entity authentication, and data origin authentication. Most cryptographic algorithms function more efficiently when implemented in hardware than in software running on single processor. However, systems that use hardware implementations have significant drawbacks: they are unable to respond to flaws discovered in the implemented algorithm or to changes in standards. As an alternative, it is possible to implement cryptographic algorithms in software running on multiple processors. However, most of the cryptographic algorithms like DES (Data Encryption Standard) or 3DES have some drawbacks when implemented in software: DES is no longer secure as computers get more powerful while 3DES is relatively sluggish in software. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), which is rapidly being adopted worldwide, provides a better combination of performance and enhanced network security than DES or 3DES by being computationally more efficient than these earlier standards. Furthermore, by supporting large key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits, AES offers higher security against brute-force attacks.
In this paper, AES has been implemented with single processor. Then the result has been compared with parallel implementations of AES with 2 varying different parameters such as key size, number of rounds and extended key size, and show how parallel implementation of the AES offers better performance yet flexible enough for cryptographic algorithms.

INFORMATION THEORY BASED ANALYSIS FOR UNDERSTANDING THE REGULATION OF HLA GEN...ijistjournal
Considering information entropy (IE), HLA surface expression (SE) regulation phenomenon is considered as information propagation channel with an amount of distortion. HLA gene SE is considered as sink regulated by the inducible transcription factors (TFs) (source). Previous work with a certain number of bin size, IEs for source and receiver is computed and computation of mutual information characterizes the dependencies of HLA gene SE on some certain TFs in different cells types of hematopoietic system under the condition of leukemia. Though in recent time information theory is utilized for different biological knowledge generation and different rules are available in those specific domains of biomedical areas; however, no such attempt is made regarding gene expression regulation, hence no such rule is available. In this work, IE calculation with varying bin size considering the number of bins is approximately half of the sample size of an attribute also confirms the previous inferences.

SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION AND MODELING FOR INTERACTING AND NON-INTERACTING TANK S...ijistjournal
System identification from the experimental data plays a vital role for model based controller design. Derivation of process model from first principles is often difficult due to its complexity. The first stage in the development of any control and monitoring system is the identification and modeling of the system. Each model is developed within the context of a specific control problem. Thus, the need for a general system identification framework is warranted. The proposed framework should be able to adapt and emphasize different properties based on the control objective and the nature of the behavior of the system. Therefore, system identification has been a valuable tool in identifying the model of the system based on the input and output data for the design of the controller. The present work is concerned with the identification of transfer function models using statistical model identification, process reaction curve method, ARX model, genetic algorithm and modeling using neural network and fuzzy logic for interacting and non interacting tank process. The identification technique and modeling used is prone to parameter change & disturbance. The proposed methods are used for identifying the mathematical model and intelligent model of interacting and non interacting process from the real time experimental data.

Implementation of Radon Transformation for Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)ijistjournal
Radon Transformation is generally used to construct optical image (like CT image) from the projection data in biomedical imaging. In this paper, the concept of Radon Transformation is implemented to reconstruct Electrical Impedance Topographic Image (conductivity or resistivity distribution) of a circular subject. A parallel resistance model of a subject is proposed for Electrical Impedance Topography(EIT) or Magnetic Induction Tomography(MIT). A circular subject with embedded circular objects is segmented into equal width slices from different angles. For each angle, Conductance and Conductivity of each slice is calculated and stored in an array. A back projection method is used to generate a two-dimensional image from one-dimensional projections. As a back projection method, Inverse Radon Transformation is applied on the calculated conductance and conductivity to reconstruct two dimensional images. These images are compared to the target image. In the time of image reconstruction, different filters are used and these images are compared with each other and target image.

BER Performance of MPSK and MQAM in 2x2 Almouti MIMO Systemsijistjournal
Almouti published the error performance of the 2x2 space-time transmit diversity scheme using BPSK. One of the key techniques employed for correcting such errors is the Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) because of its efficiency in power and bandwidth.. In this paper we explore the error performance of the 2x2 MIMO system using the Almouti space-time codes for higher order PSK and M-ary QAM. MATLAB was used to simulate the system; assuming slow fading Rayleigh channel and additive white Gaussian noise. The simulated performance curves were compared and evaluated with theoretical curves obtained using BER tool on the MATLAB by setting parameters for random generators. The results shows that the technique used do find a place in correcting error rates of QAM system of higher modulation schemes. The model can equally be used not only for the criteria of adaptive modulation but for a platform to design other modulation systems as well.

Feature extraction is a method of capturing visual content of an image. The feature extraction is the process to represent raw image in its reduced form to facilitate decision making such as pattern classification. We have tried to address the problem of classification MRI brain images by creating a robust and more accurate classifier which can act as an expert assistant to medical practitioners. The objective of this paper is to present a novel method of feature selection and extraction. This approach combines the Intensity, Texture, shape based features and classifies the tumor as white matter, Gray matter, CSF, abnormal and normal area. The experiment is performed on 140 tumor contained brain MR images from the Internet Brain Segmentation Repository. The proposed technique has been carried out over a larger database as compare to any previous work and is more robust and effective. PCA and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) were applied on the training sets. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier served as a comparison of nonlinear techniques Vs linear ones. PCA and LDA methods are used to reduce the number of features used. The feature selection using the proposed technique is more beneficial as it analyses the data according to grouping class variable and gives reduced feature set with high classification accuracy.

A MEDIAN BASED DIRECTIONAL CASCADED WITH MASK FILTER FOR REMOVAL OF RVINijistjournal
In this paper A Median Based Directional Cascaded with Mask (MBDCM) filter has been proposed, which is based on three different sized cascaded filtering windows. The differences between the current pixel and its neighbors aligned with four main directions are considered for impulse detection. A direction index is used for each edge aligned with a given direction. Minimum of these four direction indexes is used for impulse detection under each masking window. Depending on the minimum direction indexes among these three windows new value to substitute the noisy pixel is calculated. Extensive simulations showed that the MBDCM filter provides good performances of suppressing impulses from both gray level and colored benchmarked images corrupted with low noise level as well as for highly dense impulses. MBDCM filter gives better results than MDWCMM filter in suppressing impulses from highly corrupted digital images.

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

ABSTRACT
This Paper Analyze the performance of Unsymmetrical trimmed median, which is used as detector for the
detection of impulse noise, Gaussian noise and mixed noise is proposed. The proposed algorithm uses a
fixed 3x3 window for the increasing noise densities. The pixels in the current window are arranged in
sorting order using a improved snake like sorting algorithm with reduced comparator. The processed pixel
is checked for the occurrence of outliers, if the absolute difference between processed pixels is greater than
fixed threshold. Under high noise densities the processed pixel is also noisy hence the median is checked
using the above procedure. if found true then the pixel is considered as noisy hence the corrupted pixel is
replaced by the median of the current processing window. If median is also noisy then replace the
corrupted pixel with unsymmetrical trimmed median else if the pixel is termed uncorrupted and left
unaltered. The proposed algorithm (PA) is tested on varying detail images for various noises. The proposed
algorithm effectively removes the high density fixed value impulse noise, low density random valued
impulse noise, low density Gaussian noise and lower proportion of mixed noise. The proposed algorithm is
targeted on Xc3e5000-5fg900 FPGA using Xilinx 7.1 compiler version which requires less number of
slices, optimum speed and low power when compared to the other median finding architectures.

1. INTRODUCTION
Images are often corrupted by noises due to poor image sensors or error in transmission medium.
The different types of noises that occur in images are additive random noise such as Gaussian
white noise and salt-and-pepper impulse noise, signal-dependent noise such as speckle [1]. In
order to restore the corrupted images, a suitable filter should be used. A good noise removal filter
would exactly restore the image by removing the noise distributions only. So to obtain the above
result, a suitable filtering algorithm must be stated to remove a noise distribution. In Practise, the
noise removal filter is designed to restore images well but there will be always some degree of
variation in the restored pixel values from the original image. If there is much deviation the
chosen algorithm is not suitable for the restoration In the above stated condition the restored
image might not be visually unacceptable if subjected to human inspection [2]. The poor photo

electronic detectors which results in thermal noise which is modelled as additive zero mean
Gaussian noise corrupts the images [3]. Impulse noise is caused by transmission in a noisy
channel. Basically there are two common types of impulse noise are the salt-and-pepper noise and
the random-valued noise. For images corrupted by salt-and pepper noise, the noisy pixels can take
only the peak and the valley values while in the case of random-valued noise; they can take any
random value in the dynamic range [3]. A conventional method to remove noise from image data
is to use a spatial filter. Spatial filters broadly classified into non-linear and linear filters. Many
non-linear filters fall into the category of order statistic neighbourhood operators. This means that
the local neighbours are ordered in ascending order and this list is processed to give an estimate
of the underlying image brightness. The simplest order statistic operator is the median [3], where
the central value in the ordered list is used for the new value of the brightness. The median is
good at reducing impulse noise However, A mean or average filter is the optimal linear filter for
Gaussian noise removal which tends to blur sharp edges, destroy lines and other fine image
details. Median filter often blur the image for larger window size and insufficient noise
suppression for small window sizes [4]. Adaptive Median Filter (AMF) blurs the image at
high noise densities but fairs well at low and medium noise densities [5].
In Threshold decomposition filter (TDF) the pixels are decomposed based on various
threshold levels and subjected to Boolean operation. This eliminated the need for
complex sorting technique. This decomposition algorithm requires large threshold levels
for operation and fails at higher noise densities. The above mentioned Median and its
variant filters operate uniformly over the entire image results in the modification of
uncorrupted pixel. Ideally the filtering should be applied only to corrupted pixels while
leaving uncorrupted pixels intact. Therefore, a noise-detection process should
discriminate between uncorrupted pixel and the corrupted pixel prior to applying
nonlinear filtering is highly desirable. To elude the drawback of the above filters
switched median filters were introduced. These filters work on the basis of impulse
detection and correction. One of the popular switched median filter is Progressive
Switched Median filter (PSMF). In this filter the decision is based on fixed threshold
value and hence a procuring a strong decision is difficult. Hence at increasing noise
densities the switched filters do not consider any of the local detail of the image and
hence edges are not preserved properly [6]-[7].
The DPF filter removes noise at medium noise densities but fails to eliminate salt and
pepper noise at high noise densities [8]. Decision based filter [9] identifies the processed
pixel as noisy, if the pixel value is either 0 or 255; else it is considered as not noisy.
Under High noisy environment the DBA filter replaces the noisy pixel with
neighbourhood pixel. Due to repeated replacement of neighbourhood pixel results in
streaks in restored image. To avoid streaks in images an improved DBA (DBUTMF)
[10] is proposed with replacement of median of unsymmetrical trimmed output, but
under high noise densities all the pixel inside the current would take all 0’s or all 255’s or
combination of both 0 and 255. Replacement of trimmed median did not fair well for
above case. Hence Modified decision based un-symmetric trimmed median filter
(MDBUTMF) [11] is proposed. The above cause is eliminated by replacing the mean of
the current window. When the noise densities scale greater than 80% the Smudging of
edges occurs. All the Estimation based Threshold algorithms and conventional
algorithms fairs well for low and medium density impulse noise but fails at high noise
densities also these algorithms do not preserve edges. Hence a suitable algorithm that

detects, eliminates impulse noise and preserves edges for high noise densities is
proposed. This paper is organized as follows. Section II describes noise model. Section
III gives a overview of related work on Image De-noising using proposed algorithm and
its hardware implementation. Section IV deals with Exhaustive Experimental Results and
Discussions and finally Concluding Remarks are given in Section V.
2. NOISE MODEL
Let the true image x belong to a proper function space S(Ω) on Ω = [0; 1]2
, and the observed
digital image y be a vector in Rmxm indexed by A ={1,2,..m} X {1,2,.m}.The image degradation
can be modeled as y = N(Hx), where H : S(Ω) Rmxm is a linear operator representing blurring,
and N : Rmxm Rmxm models the noise. Usually, y = n
Hx σ
+ where σn Є Rmxm is an
additive zero-mean Gaussian noise with standard deviation σ= 0 . Outliers are modeled as
impulse noise. Then a realist model for our data is

The noise model for salt pepper noise is given below . If [0; 255] denote the dynamic range of
y’, i.e., 0 = y’ij = 255 for all (i,j), then they are denoted by Salt-and-pepper noise: the gray
level of y at pixel location (i j) is illustrated in the equation 3.
yij = 0 with probability p;

Where s = p + q denotes the salt-and-pepper noise level [12].
3. PROPOSED ALGORITHM
3.1. Snake like improved shear sorting
Over the years sorting algorithm is a basic operation behind all the median filters. All the existing
sorting algorithms require more comparators. In this paper a new snake like improved shear
sorting algorithm is proposed for ordering the entire array of processed pixels as shown in figure
1.

Figure 1 illustration of the proposed sorting methodology
Let D be an m x n matrix which is mapped with linear integer sequence W. Sorting the sequence
W is then equivalent to sorting the elements of D in some Pre determined indexing scheme. The
proposed Snake like modified algorithm consists of two basic operations row sorting, column
sorting and semi diagonal sorting. The algorithm of the proposed snake like improved shear
sorting algorithm is as follows.
Step1: The considered 2D processing window as shown in figure 1.a
Step2: Sort the 1th
and 3rd
rows of the 2D array in ascending order and 2nd
row in descending
order independently .The sorted sequence is fed to step3 as shown in figure1.b.
Step3: Sort the three columns of the 2D array in ascending order .The sorted sequence is fed to
step4 as shown in figure 1.c.
Step4: Repeat step 2 and 3 once again as shown in figure1.d and e.
Step5: Now Sort the upper semi diagonal of the semi sorted 2D array in ascending order as
shown in figure1.e.
Step6: Sort the Lower semi diagonal sorted array in ascending order as shown in figure1.f.
Resulting array is sorted in a snake like order. The procedure is repeated for the other windows of
the image [13].
3.2. Proposed Algorithm
The brief illustration of the proposed algorithm is as follows.
Step 1: Choose 2-D window of size 3x3. The processed pixel in current window is assumed as
pxy.
Step 2: sort the 2D window data in ascending order using snake like modified shear sorting which
is given by S. now Convert sorted 2D array into 1D array. Smed is the median of the sorted array
Step 3: Unsymmetrical trimmed median filter
Initialize two counters, forward counter (F) and reverse counter (L) with 1 and 9 respectively.
When a 0 or 255 are encountered inside the Sorted array (S), F is incremented by 1 or L is
decremented by 1 respectively. The resulting array will be holding non noisy pixels of the current

window. The median of this array is termed as UTMED (unsymmetrical trimmed median) [10].
Step 4: Salt and pepper noise Detection
Case (1): If the absolute difference between the processed pixel and unsymmetrical trimmed
median filter (UTMED) is greater than the fixed threshold (T) then pixel is considered as noisy.
As illustrated in equation 3
If │P(x,y)-UTMED│ T (3)
Case (2): If the case 1 is true find the absolute difference between the median of and
unsymmetrical trimmed median filter (UTMED). Check the difference is greater than the fixed
threshold (T1) then median is considered as noisy as illustrated in equation 4.Case 2 is done for
high noise densities where the computed median is also noisy.
If │Smed-UTMED│ T1 (4)
Step 4: Salt and pepper noise Correction logic
If the case1 │P(x, y)-UTMED│ T is true then check for the second case2 │Smed-UTMED│
T1. if both the condition are true then processed pixel and computed median is noisy. Hence
replace the corrupted pixel with median of Unsymmetrical trimmed median. If condition 1 is true
and condition 2 is false then corrupted pixel is replaced with the median of the sorted array. If
both case 1 and case 2 fails then the pixel is termed as non noisy. The pixel is left unaltered [13].
3.3 Methodology of proposed work
The bigger matrix refers to image and values enclosed inside a rectangle is considered to be the
current processing window. The element encircled refers to processed pixel. The above discussed
methodology is illustrated as below.

Case (a): Initialize forward counter F=1 and reverse counter L=9. Convert the 2D array into 1D
array and sort the converted array. F and L counter moves in forward and reverse directions
respectively. When a 0 is detected F is incremented by 1 and when a 255 is detected L is
decremented by 1.

Here the median Smed value is 155. The case (1) is illustrated as follows. Now check for the
presence of 0 or 255 in the sorted array. Every time a 0 is detected F is incremented by 1 and if
255 is detected L is decremented by1. In the above example there is two 0 and one 255. Hence F
is incremented by two times and L is decremented by one time. Now finally F is holding 3 and L
is holding 8. Now the variable DET is assigned with the median of the rank ordered
unsymmetrical trimmed output i.e. corrupted pixel is replaced by median

condition is false. Hence the pixel is considered as noisy and median is considered as non noisy.

Case (b): Initialize forward counter F=1 and reverse counter L=9. Convert the 2D array into 1D

detected L is decremented by 1.

Here the median Smed value is 185. The case (2) is illustrated as follows. Now check for the
presence of 0 or 255 in the sorted array. Every time a 0 is detected F is incremented by 1 and if
255 is detected L is decremented by1. In the above example there is three 0 and three 255. Hence
F is incremented by three times and L is decremented by three times. Now finally F is holding 4
and L is holding 6. Now the variable DET is assigned with the median of the rank ordered
unsymmetrical trimmed output i.e. corrupted pixel is replaced by median (125,185) = 155. i.e.,
DET=155. Now perform first step detection │0-155│ 40. This condition is true. The Second
condition is checked │185-155│ 20 and the second condition is true. Hence the processed pixel
and the computed median is considered as noisy. Hence the corrupted pixel is replaced with
Unsymmetrical trimmed median ie 155 output=155.

3.4 FPGA implementation of the proposed Algorithm
Figure 2 Proposed Sequential Architecture
The proposed algorithm is implemented for the FPGA device Xc3e5000-5fg900 using
VHDL The proposed sequential architecture consists of various snake like sorting, FSMD
scheduler, Decision maker unit as shown in figure 2.
3.4.1 Snake like sorting:
We propose a parallel architecture for the proposed algorithm which uses 3x3 spatial windows for
processing. The Proposed architecture is illustrated in figure 3. The Basic Processing element of
the proposed architecture uses a three cell sorter. The function of the three cell sorter is order the
data and produce outputs in maximum, middle and minimum values. The three pixel elements of
the first, second and third rows are sent inside the three parallel three cell sorter as part of
arranging first and third row in ascending and the second one is descending. This results in
minimum1, minimum2, minimum3, middle1, middle2, middle3, maximum1, maximum2,
maximum3. In the second phase minimum 1, maximum2 and minimum3 is fed to the first of
three cell sorters, middle1, middle2, middle3 is given to second three cell sorters. The
maximum1, minimum2 and maximum3 are fed to the third three cell sorter. This result in column
sorting thereby the sorted signals are given as minimum4, minimum4, minimum4 middle5,
middle5, middle5, maximum4, maximum5, maximum6. For the second row sorting
minimum4,5,6 is fed into first three cell sorter, middle 4,5,6,maximum 4,5,6 into second and third
level of three cell sorters respectively. The output signals of this stage are marked as minimum7,
minimum8, minimum9 middle7, middle8, middle9, maximum7, maximum8, maximum9. The
second column sorting is facilitated by minimum 7, maximum8 and minimum9 is fed to the first
of three cell sorters, middle7, middle8, middle9 is given to second three cell sorters. The
maximum7, minimum8 and maximum9 are fed to the third three cell sorter. The resultant signal
is denoted as minimum10, minimum11, minimum12 middle10, middle11, middle12,
maximum10, maximum11, maximum12. Now to facilitate the semi diagonal sorting
minimum11,median11,maximum11 are given to the first of last stage three cell sorters and
middle10,maximum10,maximum11is given to second of the last three cell sorter. The output is
marked as min1, min2, min3 and max1, max2, max3 from the last stage sorters respectively.
8. International Journal of Information Sciences and Techniques (IJIST) Vol.2, No.3, May 2012
26
Minimum10 is the minimum value of the array, max1, 2, 3 refers to the second, third, fourth
minimum of an array. Middle 11 is marked as the median of the array. max1, 2, 3 gives the
maximum values after median in the array. Maximum 12 is maximum value of the array. The
order specifies the rank ordering of the array [14].
Figure 3: Parallel architecture for the proposed Snake like sorting algorithm
3.4.2 FSMD Scheduler Unit
The proposed FSMD scheduler unit consists of 8 states. The states are named as idle, Dat1, index,
Decision, Out_even, Out_odd, final process, output final. When the system reset is inactive the
control of the program is transferred to the next state called idle.
3.4.2.1 Idle State:
The counters such as F, L, (noise determination counter) and the sum accumulator is
initialized to zero and points to Dat1 as next state.
3.4.2.2 DAT1 State:
Every element of the 3X3 is checked for 0 or 255. If 0 is encountered counter F is incremented by
1. If 255 are encountered L is incremented by 1. The total number of noisy pixel in the array is
stored to a variable called t_noise. When the counters F and L reaches the maximum value as 9
the program control is transferred to next state called index.

Figure 4 FSMD Scheduler for evaluation of Unsymmetrical trimmed median filter
3.4.2.3 Index State:
In this state two conditions are checked. First, when all the elements of the 3x3 window are
combination of 0 or 255 then a Look up table is formulated such that if all the elements are 0 then
variable op is 0. If all the values are 255 then op is 255. If both the above condition is failed then
Look up table is loaded with 198,170,141,113,85,56,28 indicating the mean of the elements in an
array with 2 0’s, 3 0’s 4 0’s 5 0’s 6 0’s 7 0’s 8 0’s respectively (i.e., sum of all 255 divided by 9).
On the second case, when all the elements are not the combination of 0 or 255 then non zero
entries index is checked. This state gives the procedure to point index of the elements to find
unsymmetrical trimmed median, if it is odd or even depending upon the number of noisy pixel
within the given window. The logic is to prefix certain index in the form of look up table so that
for an example when no 0’s and three 255’s is present then the number of non noisy pixel is even
i.e. 6. Index for finding the median is fixed as 3 and 4. In the case of four 255’s, then the number
of non noisy pixel is odd i.e. 5. So the index is prefixed as 3. Similarly the index positions are
prefixed in look up table for all possible combination. Depending upon the number of noisy
pixels in the given window the values are accessed from the look up table. If the number of noisy
elements are even then the index are stored in even_u and even_v respectively. If the number of
noisy elements are odd then the index are stored in odd. After finding the index the next state is
pointed to Decision state.
3.4.2.4 Decision State
After obtaining the index from the index state the value corresponding to the index state is
obtained. Initially the number of noisy pixels is evaluated and based on the noisy pixel the
unsymmetrical trimmed median is obtained. If the number of non-noisy pixel is odd then sum is
obtained as (memory (even_u) +memory (even_v)). In case of odd number, the non noisy pixel is
even then unsymmetrical trimmed median is obtained as memory (odd). If the number of non
noisy pixel is odd then the next state is pointed as out_even. If the number of non noisy pixel is
even then the next state pointed as out_odd.
10. International Journal of Information Sciences and Techniques (IJIST) Vol.2, No.3, May 2012
28
3.4.2.5 Out_even State
After finding the number of noisy pixel as even the control is transferred to out_even state. In this
state the unsymmetrical trimmed median is obtained by finding the mean of memory (even_u)
and memory (even_v) and points to the next state called final process.
3.4.2.6 Out_odd State
After finding the number of noisy pixel as odd the control is transferred to out_odd state. In this
state the unsymmetrical trimmed median is obtained by finding the oddth
element of the trimmed
array i.e. memory (odd) and points to the next state called final process.
3.4.2.7 Final Process State:
The centre pixel, Unsymmetrical trimmed median value and median of the sorted array is loaded
into this state for the final process. This stage is done to obtain synchronization between the
output variables. The next state is pointed as out_final.
3.4.2.8 Out_final State:
Here the decision to check the centre pixel is noisy as follows. If the absolute difference between
centre pixel and unsymmetrical trimmed median is greater than 40. If the condition is true then
the processed pixel is considered as noisy. Now check for the median is noisy or not by finding
the absolute difference between computed median and unsymmetrical trimmed median is greater
than 20 then the computed median is noisy. Hence the processed pixel is replaced with
unsymmetrical trimmed median else if the median is not noisy then replace the processed pixel
with median of the array. If the centre pixel is not noisy it is left unaltered.

valued impulse noise and Gaussian noise, the algorithms such as SMF, AMF, MEANDET,
MEDDET is used. The qualitative performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on various
images such as Lena, Cameraman, Baboon, Barbara, girl, pepper etc (Images are chosen as per
the details of the image). Quantitative analysis is made by varying noise densities in steps of ten
from 10% to 90% for Random valued impulse noise (RVIN) and Fixed valued impulse noise
(FVIN). The same is done by varying variance of zero mean Gaussian noise in increment of
0.001. The proposed algorithm is also tried for 70% of Fixed valued impulse noise and mixed
noise on low detail, medium detail and high detail images. Comparisons were made in terms of
PSNR, IEF and MSE. Results and graphs are given in Table I-VI and figure 10-17 respectively.
Figure 6-9 gives the qualitative performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of noise
elimination for FVIN, RVIN, Zero mean Gaussian noise, and mixed noise. All the simulation is
done in dual CPU E2140@1.6Ghz with 1GB RAM capacity. Better results were obtained when
the pre-defined threshold T was between 20 and 40. And the second threshold T1 was between
15 and 30. From the Table I we infer that for the proposed algorithm has high PSNR and IEF,
indicating how much the algorithm eliminates salt and pepper noise effectively. Table II gives the
performance of random valued impulse noise of various algorithms. The proposed algorithm is
found to work well for low density RVIN noise. From Table III we find the mean square error is
minimum for proposed algorithm at high noise densities for both FVIN and RVIN. It is evident
from figure 6 that the qualitative aspect of the proposed algorithm at 70% FVIN is found to
perform good against conventional algorithms. The proposed algorithm performs on par with the
recently proposed decision based filters for Lena (low detail image). Table IV and V gives the
quantitative performance of zero mean Gaussian noise and 70% FVIN respectively. It is shown
that the proposed algorithm fairs good for all these noises. Figure 7 gives the performance of
various filters for the baboon image corrupted by RVIN from 10% to 50%. It was found that the
existing algorithm either blurs the image or fails to remove the noise. The proposed algorithm is
effective in removing RVIN for noises up to 30%. Many traditional algorithms do not perform
well for high noise densities. Hence none of the single level detector algorithm is able to detect
and correct the long tailed noise at high noise densities. From table IV and figure 8 we understand
that the proposed algorithm fairs well for zero mean Gaussian noise for increasing variance. Table
VI and Figure 9 illustrates the performance of proposed algorithm for mixed noise (30% impulse
noise and zero mean 0.001 variance of Gaussian noise). It is found to perform well in eliminating
mixed noise also. The value of the threshold is updated based on the number of corrupted pixels
inside the corrupted window. Table 7 gives the computation time of different sorting technique
implemented in Matlab 7 on Pentium dual cpu E2140 @1.6 GHz of 1 GB RAM and found to
perform on par with various sorting algorithms. Figure 10 to 17 illustrates the graphical
performance of the proposed algorithm. The results illustrates that the proposed algorithm has a
good PSNR,IEF for high density FVIN noise, optimum results for high density Random valued
impulse noise, good quantitative measure on zero mean Gaussian noise. The proposed algorithm
was targeted on Spartan 3e family XC3S5000-5fg900 FPGA. The code was developed using
VHDL. The simulator tools used was a third party tool Modelsim 5.8i and synthesis tool XST
was used as part of Xilinx 7.1i suit for CPLD FPGA development. Table 8 gives the device
utilization summary, timing specification and power report for the target FPGA for various
median finding algorithms such as bubble sort, heap sort, insertion sort, Selection sort, Threshold
decomposition Filter. Table 9 illustrates the performance of proposed algorithm for the targeted
device. Figure 5 gives the simulation output of the PA which is found to generate its first output
in 13 clock cycles.
5. CONCLUSION
All the algorithms were tested on a fixed 3x3 window. From the exhaustive experiments, we
conclude that the proposed algorithm has a high PSNR, low MSE and high IEF for different
19. International Journal of Information Sciences and Techniques (IJIST) Vol.2, No.3, May 2012

images and for different noise type at higher noise densities. However, on an average sense, PA
gives good performance in eliminating FVIN up to 70%, RVIN up to 30%, zero mean 0.5%
variance Gaussian noise and a mixed noise (30% impulse noise plus zero mean 0.001 variance
Gaussian noise). When compared to Conventional filters such as SMF, AMF, CWF,
TDF,PSMF,DPF etc , the PA exhibits good performance for Salt Pepper noise removal up to
70% and reduces smaller proportion of zero mean 0.3% variance Gaussian noise. The proposed
filter also exhibits good noise removal up to 30% RVIN and 30% of mixed noise. The proposed
algorithm works on par with the recently proposed algorithms such as DBA, MDBUTMF,
CUTMF etc., in our method, time complexity of the existing methods is eliminated by using the
pixel intensity itself as threshold. Hence, the proposed method shows optimum performance with
fewer comparison complexities. The Proposed algorithm has good average computation time.
FPGA implementation of the proposed algorithm for 3x3 window is implemented and
performance in terms of area, speed and power is illustrated in table 8, 9 respectively. Table 8
gives the device utilization summary, timing and power specification for the target device
XC3S5000-5fg900 required by the snake like algorithm with the existing sorting algorithm. The
proposed snake like algorithm utilizes 709 slices, which is 60% less when compared to other
sorting algorithms. The snake like sorting also has a low combinational delay path of 77.30ns
with a reduced gate count and slices flip flop of 7281 and 517 respectively, which is 7 times less
when compared to existing algorithm. The last part of the table deals with power required by each
sorting algorithm on the FPGA. The proposed logic for the entire algorithm is implemented on
the FPGA and found to consume 1034 slices with an operating frequency of 79.93 MHz and a
gate count of 11945 with optimum power consumption of 298mw. It was found that the proposed
parallel snake like sorting logic requires very less area and time with optimum power
consumption when compared to the existing sorting techniques. The proposed algorithm exhibits
very good results in restoration of images corrupted by non identical noise both quantitatively and
qualitatively and occupies a low area, good operating frequency and optimum power architecture
is proposed.
