- Abstract:
-
Traditional methods for image noise reduction typically damage the edges and details of an image, blur image contours, and thereby make them indistinct after image noise reduction is complete. To achieve better results in image noise reduction, we propose a pulse coupling neural network (PCNN) image noise reduction method based on a modified synaptic link strength and a modified threshold function. We simplified the basic PCNN model and adaptively changed the synaptic link strength value; further, we improved the threshold function by using a segmented attenuation function so as to improve the resolving power for different gray values of the given images. We improved the accuracy of our algorithm for identifying noise by positioning noise points according to the difference of firing times between the neuron and its surrounding neurons. Using this approach, we achieved better noise reduction results; our experimental results showed that our proposed method was able to accurately identify image impulse noise points and effectively remove these noise points. Further, through subjective evaluation, we observed that image edge details were also protected.
