Adaptive Bilateral Filter for Sharpness Enhancement and Noise Removal

ABSTRACT

sharpness enhancement and noise removal. ABF sharpens an image by increasing the slope of the edges without producing overshoot or undershoot. Our new approach to slope restoration significantly differs from the previous slope restoration algorithms in that ABF does not involve detecting edge orientations or edge profiles. Compared with the bilateral filter, ABF restored images are significantly sharper. Compared with an unsharp mask (USM) based sharpening method the Optimal USM (OUM), ABF restored edges are as sharp as those rendered by the OUM, but without halo. ABF also outperforms the bilateral filter and the OUM in noise removal.

EXISTING SYSTEM

Greenspan et al. and Kennedy et al. , utilized the iterative back-projection (IBP) method proposed by Irani et al.to construct high-resolution images and positron emission tomography (PET) images, respectively, from spatially shifted images. In the IBP approach, an estimate of the high-resolution image is compare with low-resolution image estimates. The differences between the estimated low-resolution images and the actual low-resolution images are then used to refine the high-resolution image in an iterative manner. Hsu et al. proposed to create high-resolution cardiovascular images using a superresolution method based on projection on convex sets (POCS)

DISADVANTAGES

For each of these manufacturability improvement techniques there are certain layouts that either cannot be improved or cause issues in printing. These are classed as non-compliant layouts. These are avoided either at the design stage - using, for instance, Radically Restrictive Design Rules and/or creating addition DRC checks if appropriate.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

we present an adaptive bilateral filter (ABF) for sharpness enhancement and noise removal. ABF sharpens an image by increasing the slope of the edges without producing overshoot or undershoot. Our new approach to slope restoration significantly differs from the previous slope restoration algorithms in that ABF does not involve detecting edge orientations or edge profiles. Compared with the bilateral filter, ABF restored images are significantly sharper. Compared with an unsharp mask (USM) based sharpening method the Optimal USM (OUM), ABF restored edges are as sharp as those rendered by the OUM, but without halo. ABF also outperforms the bilateral filter and the OUM in noise removal.

ADVANTAGES

The proposed method solves the multi source image super resolution reconstruction problem. We want to present a unified solution to both sharpness enhancement and noise removal.

DOMAIN DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING

Digital image processing is the use of computer algorithms to perform image processing on digital images. As a subfield of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over analog image processing; It allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data, and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and signal distortion during processing.
