A mixed noise filtering algorithm for high-speed sequence image processing

It is a effective means by using high-speed vision to locate mobile targets. Under the circumstance of high frame rate and high sensitivity(300Hz), in addition to the Gaussian noise and impulse noise, the image quality is also influenced by atmospheric instability, and it is mainly expressed as Gaussian noise. An improved adaptive threshold weighted mean (IATWM) de-noising algorithm is proposed in this paper. According to the characteristics of impulse noise, the algorithm is able to obtain the threshold adaptively and separate the impulse noise. Then, the weighted median filtering algorithm is used to remove the impulse noise. And the improved weighted average filter algorithm is adopted to remove the Gaussian noise for graphics with Gaussian noise. The algorithm could deal with the Gaussian noise and impulse noise separately, avoiding the weaken handling for the parts not subject to pixels pollution of the impulse noise. The experimental results show that the processing result of the algorithm is able to retain the image details, superior to the traditional filtering algorithms and MTM algorithm. In addition, the algorithm provides an effective way to eliminate the mixed noise, along with a good effect on the high-speed sequence image processing.
