Abstract: | Despite a state-of-the-art filter for removing Gaussian noise, non-local means filter (NLM), like its local counterpart (the mean filter), is no longer so effective in removing salt-pepper noise which is common in real world as well. By contrast, adaptive median filter (AMF) is concise and can remove this type of noise effectively. Inspired by the AMF filtering strategies, in this paper, we modify NLM to a novel non-local universal filter (UNLM) which can remove not only either of Gaussian noise and salt-pepper noise but also their mixture. Experiments on artificial and benchmark images validate its feasibility and effectiveness. |
