Application of Improved Median Filtering Algorithm to Image De-Noising

Abstract

Based on the shortcomings of standard median filtering and combined with the mean filtering, this paper puts forward two improved median filtering algorithms referred as the weighted fast median filtering algorithm and the weighted adaptive median filtering algorithm. The experiment results with MATLAB show that weighted fast median filtering algorithm has a significant effect on low-density impulse noise, and accelerates the speed of real-time processing. The weighted median filter could effectively eliminate the high-density impulse noise from polluted images, and better maintains the details of the original image.
