Abstract
Noise in digital images is the major cause of severe artifacts. Filter design for denoising applications can also be addressed with optimization techniques as conventional filters incur in this. Exploration and Exploitation capability features of the Meta Heuristic Optimization Techniques make them applicable to noise reduction in digital images. An increasing number of Meta Heuristic Optimization algorithms make it suitable for designing FIR filters. In the proposed method, Particle Swarm Optimization, a global optimizer algorithm was used in calculating the appropriate coefficients for 2D FIR Filter. The proposed filter was applied to standard test images for testing its noise suppression capability. Indicators of performance, such as Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) values and Structural Content (SC) were used in accessing the efficiency of the proposed method and to the adaptability of the method for removing different noise types. Thus a brief comparison for noise suppression in digital images with both multiplicative and additive noise types using PSO optimized 2D FIR filter is addressed in this paper.
