What Is Noise
Cleaning?
Detect lack of coherence and
either replace the incoherent
pixel value by something more
spatially coherent by using
some or all of the pixels in a
neighborhood.

Noise Reduction
One of noise cleaning technique
that use before threshold
feature
Use at grey level image
Example:
Median Filtering

Noise Removal
One of noise cleaning technique
that use after threshold feature
Use at bi level image
Example:
Morphology

Median Filtering
Init Matrix NxN
Expand Image (depend on size
N)
For Top Left to Bottom Right
Move Matrix
Calculate Median Value

Dilation
Using the same method with
median filtering but it isnt use
median to determine his value
but maximum
Pixel which located outside
image is determine as pixel 0 or
white
