Salt-and-Pepper Noise Removal Based on Image Patch Reordering

Abstract:

A new method based on image patch reordering for removing salt-and-pepper noise from corrupted images is presented. Firstly, the problem of salt-and-pepper noise removal can be turned into the problem of image in-painting. Then, we can use the image patch reordering method to recover the missing pixels and fulfill the salt-and-pepper noise removal. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method obtain much better performance in terms of both qualitative and quantitative assessment. Especially, the proposed method provides the improvement in the performance of noise suppression and detail preservation.
