Considering the characteristics of infrared images contaminated by Gaussian noise, impulse noise and other mixed noises, an adaptive hybrid filtering algorithm based on infrared image's local statistical property is presented in this paper. It can automatically detect noises, determine the output based on threshhold value, select the size of filtering window, and judge the image edge on the basis of Laplacian Operator. The experiment results indicate that the presented algorithm has removed the infrared tank image's mixed noises effectively, preserved the image details and edge features very well, and provided an effective way for infrared image denoising.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
