The document discusses using neural networks for image compression. It describes how previous neural network methods divided images into blocks and achieved limited compression. The proposed method applies edge detection, thresholding, and thinning to images first to reduce their size. It then uses a single-hidden layer feedforward neural network with an adaptive number of hidden neurons based on the image's distinct gray levels. The network is trained to compress the preprocessed image block and reconstruct the original image at the receiving end. This adaptive approach aims to achieve higher compression ratios than previous neural network methods.

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.

The proposed SEPD technique was implemented in VLSI with low computational complexity and memory requirements, making it suitable for real-time embedded applications. Experimental results showed the SEPD technique achieved better image quality than previous methods while using less hardware resources.

This document provides an overview of a research project on image compression. It discusses image compression techniques including lossy and lossless compression. It describes using discrete wavelet transform, lifting wavelet transform, and stationary wavelet transform for image transformation. Experiments were conducted to compare the compression ratio and processing time of different combinations of wavelet transforms, vector quantization, and Huffman/Arithmetic coding. The results were analyzed to evaluate the compression performance and efficiency of the different methods.
here it introduces an efficient multi-resolution watermarking methodology for copyright protection of digital images. By adapting the watermark signal to the wavelet coefficients, the proposed method is highly image adaptive and the watermark signal can be strengthen in the most significant parts of the image. As this property also increases the watermark visibility, usage of the human visual system is incorporated to prevent perceptual visibility of embedded watermark signal. Experimental results show that the proposed system preserves the image quality and is vulnerable against most common image processing distortions. Furthermore, the hierarchical nature of wavelet transform allows for detection of watermark at various resolutions, resulting in reduction of the computational load needed for watermark detection based on the noise level. The performance of the proposed system is shown to be superior to that of other available schemes reported in the literature.
This document describes a two-stage technique for removing impulse noise from digital images using neural networks and fuzzy logic. In the first stage, a neural network is used to detect and remove noise from the image cleanly while preserving image details. In the second stage, fuzzy decision rules inspired by the human visual system are used to enhance image quality by compensating for blurring or destruction caused in the first stage. The goal is to remove noise cleanly without blurring edges while enhancing the overall visual quality of the processed image.

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.

This document summarizes a research paper on efficient noise removal from images using a combination of non-local means filtering and wavelet packet thresholding of the method noise. It begins with an introduction to image denoising and an overview of common denoising methods. It then describes non-local means filtering and how it removes noise while preserving image details. However, at high noise levels, non-local means filtering can also blur some image details. The document proposes analyzing the method noise obtained from subtracting the non-local means filtered image from the noisy image. This method noise contains both noise and removed image details. Applying wavelet packet thresholding to the method noise can help recover some of the removed image details. The combined
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

A NOVEL ALGORITHM FOR IMAGE DENOISING USING DT-CWT sipij
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
Farras wavelet implementation and sub band coefficients are suitably modeled to denoise with a method which is efficiently organized by combining the clustering techniques with soft thresholding - softclustering technique. The clustering techniques classify the noisy and image pixels based on the
neighborhood connected component analysis(CCA), connected pixel analysis and inter-pixel intensity variance (IPIV) and calculate an appropriate threshold value for noise removal. This threshold value is used with soft thresholding technique to denoise the image .Experimental results shows that that the
proposed technique outperforms the conventional and state-of-the-art techniques .It is also evaluated that the denoised images using DTCWT (Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform) is better balance between smoothness and accuracy than the DWT.. We used the PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) along with
RMSE to assess the quality of denoised images.
Performance of Various Order Statistics Filters in Impulse and Mixed Noise Re...sipij
Remote sensing images (ranges from satellite to seismic) are affected by number of noises like interference, impulse and speckle noises. Image denoising is one of the traditional problems in digital image processing, which plays vital role as a pre-processing step in number of image and video applications. Image denoising still remains a challenging research area for researchers because noise
removal introduces artifacts and causes blurring of the images. This study is done with the intension of designing a best algorithm for impulsive noise reduction in an industrial environment. A review of the typical impulsive noise reduction systems which are based on order statistics are done and particularized for the described situation. Finally, computational aspects are analyzed in terms of PSNR values and some solutions are proposed.

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.
IRJET- An Efficient VLSI Architecture for 3D-DWT using Lifting SchemeIRJET Journal
This document proposes an efficient VLSI architecture for 3D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) using the lifting scheme. The lifting scheme implementation of DWT has lower area, power consumption and computational complexity compared to convolution-based DWT. The proposed architecture achieves reductions in total area and power compared to existing convolution DWT and discrete cosine transform architectures. It evaluates the performance in terms of area analysis, timing reports, and output matrices after 1D, 2D and 3D DWT using both convolution and lifting schemes. The results show that the lifting scheme provides better compression performance with less area and delay.
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.

4. Abstract
Digital Image Processing is a promising area of research in the fields of
electronics and communication engineering. In this project, an efficient
very large scale integration (VLSI) and field programmable gate array
(FPGA) based impulsive noise detection technique is presented. This
design uses a 3x3 mask on each pixel in the image in order to determine
whether it is corrupted by random-valued impulse noise or not. We
employ a decision-tree-based impulse noise detector to detect the noise
pixels. After noise detection, the algorithm reconstructs the noisy pixel
by considering the possible edges existing in the mask. Due to its lower
complexity, the proposed technique is very suitable for hardware
implementation.
5. Introduction
Digital Image Processing is a promising area of research in the
fields of electronics and communication engineering, consumer
and entertainment electronics, control and instrumentation,
biomedical instrumentation, remote sensing, robotics and
computer vision and computer aided manufacturing. For a
meaningful and useful processing such as image segmentation
and object recognition, and to have very good visual display in
applications like television, photo-phone, mobiles, etc…
An image gets corrupted with noise during the processes of
acquisition, transmission, storage and retrieval. The digital
images are often corrupted by impulse noise due to transmission
errors, malfunctioning pixel elements in the camera sensors,
faulty memory locations, and timing errors in analog-to-digital
conversion.
6. Impulse noise can be classified into two types: fixed-valued
impulse noise and random-valued impulse noise. The fixed-
valued impulse noise is also called salt-and-pepper noise
where the grey-scale value of a noisy pixel is either
minimum or maximum in grey-scale images. When viewed,
the image contains dark and white dots, hence the term salt
and pepper noise.
In most applications, de-noising the image is fundamental
to subsequent image processing operations, such as edge
detection, image segmentation, object recognition, etc. The
goal of noise removal is to suppress the noise while
preserving image details.
7. Objective
In this project, we propose an efficient denoising scheme and its VLSI
architecture for the removal of random-valued impulse noise.
Our goal is to suppress noise, while preserving the image details.
Our extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed
technique can obtain better performances in terms of both quantitative
evaluation and visual quality than the previous lower complexity methods.
The design requires only low computational complexity and two line
memory buffers.
This design implements minimal hardware, so hardware cost is low.
We are trying to get a better reconstructed image as output, so that its
suitable to be applied to many real-time applications.
8. Literature Survey
Many researchers have worked on impulse noise removal techniques,
like- median filter, ACWN, LCNR, RORD, DRID etc….
Median filter removes the impulse noise keeping edges of the images
unaffected.
ACWM filter works on switching method. A difference between output of
centre weighted median filter and the current pixel is calculated. With
this calculation a more general operator that depends upon impulse
detection is estimated.
LCNR is implemented with two steps, noise detector and filtering. It
detects random valued noisy pixels and applies median filter only for
noisy pixels.
RORD improves the impulse noise detection accuracy by using a
reference image. Then we introduce a simple weighted mean filter to
suppress the impulse noise while preserving image details.

10. Problem Definition &
Formulation
Images are often corrupted by impulse noise in the procedures of image
acquisition and transmission. Most filtering techniques work well with fixed
valued impulse noise. But today’s real time applications demand for an
efficient technique that can suppress both fixed and random valued impulse
noise.
Nowadays, a good low complexity de-noising technique is necessary as pre-
processing operation in many real-time practical applications. In the process
of impulse noise filtering it is necessary to preserve edges and details of the
image. Also to avoid image smoothing, only corrupted pixel must be filtered.
The most effective technique to remove random valued impulse noise without
losing useful information with pleasing denoised image is by decision-tree
based impulse detector and direction oriented edge preserving image filter.
11. Decision Tree Based De-noising Method
(DTBDM)
The decision tree is a simple but powerful form of multiple variable
analysis. It can break down a complex decision-making process into a
collection of simpler decisions, thus provide a solution which is often easier
to interpret .
WORKING
PRINCIPLE
14. Decision Tree Based Impulse Noise
Detector
Observing the degree of isolation at current pixel.
Determining whether the current pixel is on a fringe or
comparing similarity between current pixel and its
neighbouring pixels.
1. Isolation Module
2. Fringe Module
3. Similarity Module
15. We determine whether current pixel is an isolation point by
observing the smoothness of its surrounding pixels.
Finally we make a temporary decision whether pi,j is a
suspended noisy pixel or noise free.
16. If Pi,j has a great difference with neighbouring pixels, it might be a noisy
pixel or just situated on the edge.
We take E1 for example. By calculating absolute difference between fi,j
and other two pixels, we can determine its edge or not.
17. The luminance values in mask W located in a noisy-free area might be
close.
The median is always located in the centre of the variational series,
while the impulse is usually located near one of its ends. Hence, if there
are extreme big or small values, that implies the possibility of noisy
signals.
If fi,j is not between Maxi,j and Mini,j, we conclude that pi,j is a noise
pixel. Edge-preserving image filter will be used to build the
reconstructed value. Otherwise, the original value fi,j will be the output.
18. VLSI Implementation of DTBDM
The noise is generated by MATLAB function (0.3*randn(128))
Amplitude of noise can be given as- (noise=0.3)
20. SOFTWARE
MATLAB
MATLAB is a powerful language for technical computing. The name
MATLAB Stands for MATrix LABoratory, because its basic data
element is a matrix (array). MATLAB can be used for math
computations, modelling and simulations, data analysis and processing,
visualizations and graphics and algorithm development.
MATLAB includes tools that allow a programmer to interactively
construct a GUI for his or her program. With this capability, the
programmer can design sophisticated data-analysis programs that can
be operated by relatively inexperienced users.
21. XILINX PLATFORM STUDIO
Xilinx platform studio is a key component of the ISE embedded edition
design suite, helping the hardware designer to easily built, connect and
configure embedded processor based systems; from simple state
machines to full blown 32-bit RISC microprocessor systems.
XPS employs graphical design views and sophisticated correct by
design wizard to guide developers though the steps necessary to create
custom processor system within minutes.
The true potential of XPS emerges with its ability to configure and
integrate plug and play IP cores from the Xilinx embedded IP
catalogue, with custom or third party Verilog and VHDL designs.
26. Overview & Applications
of DTBDM
Here, we have created the noisy image in MATLAB and the hex value of the
image (image.h file) is stored in SDRAM using RS232 serial port.
This is further read into the SRAM (input buffer) and is sent for processing
through Direct Memory Access (DMA) and the filtered image is stored in
SRAM (output buffer).
Finally, we observe the restored image in Visual Basic (VB) window.
Image processing is widely used in many fields, such as medical imaging,
scanning techniques, printing skills, license plate recognition, face
recognition, and so on.
The noise may seriously affect the performance of image processing
techniques. Hence, in such situations DTBDM technique is very necessary.
27. Advantages
Suppresses both fixed and random valued impulse noise
Uses only 3x3 mask
Uses only 2 line buffer and less memory
Low complexity
Low cost
Future Enhancements
This technique can be used for real time applications like scanning, face-
recognition, edge detection, medical imaging, printing, license plate
detection, where it is important to remove noises before these subsequent
processes. DTBDM technique can be further used in future for video
processing in televisions, mobiles, computers, gaming with high graphics
etc.
28. Implementation Results
To verify the characteristics and performances of DTBDM,
it is implemented on 128x128 8-bit gray scale test image.
Original Image Noisy Image Restored Image
30. Conclusion
In this project, we have presented an efficient decision-based filter for
noise detection and image restoration.
Because the new impulse detection mechanism can accurately tell where
noise is, only the noise-corrupted pixels are replaced with the estimated
central noise-free ordered mean value.
As a result, the restored images can preserve perceptual details and edges
in the image while effectively suppressing impulse noise.
The VLSI architecture of our design requires only low computational
complexity and two line memory buffers hence making it suitable for
real-time applications.
The architectures work with monochromatic images, but they can be
extended for working with RGB color images and videos.
