Review text

Summary: We propose a novel universal noise removal algorithm by combining spatial gradient and a new impulse statistic into the trilateral filter. By introducing a reference image, an impulse statistic is proposed, which is called directional absolute relative differences (DARD) statistic. Operation was carried out in two stages: getting reference image and image denoising. For denoising, we introduce the spatial gradient into the Gaussian filtering framework for Gaussian noise removal and integrate our DARD statistic for impulse noise removal, and finally we combine them together to create a new trilateral filter for mixed noise removal. Simulation results show that our noise detector has a high classification rate, especially for salt-and-pepper noise. And the proposed approach achieves great results both in terms of quantitative measures of signal restoration and qualitative judgments of image quality. In addition, the computational complexity of the proposed method is less than that of many other mixed noise filters.

Recommendations

• Maximum absolute relative differences statistic for removing random-valued impulse noise from given image
• A new method for removing mixed noises
• Removing mixture of Gaussian and impulse noise by patch-based weighted means
• A new impulse detection and filtering method for removal of wide range impulse noises
• A patch-based approach for removing impulse or mixed Gaussian-impulse noise
