Abstract

This paper proposes a two-stage iterative method for removing random-valued impulse noise. In the first phase, we use the adaptive center-weighted median filter to identify pixels which are likely to be corrupted by noise (noise candidates). In the second phase, these noise candidates are restored using a detail-preserving regularization method which allows edges and noise-free pixels to be preserved. These two phases are applied alternatively. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method is significantly better than those using just nonlinear filters or regularization only.
