摘要
An algorithm is designed for the hypergraph (HG) representation of an image, subsequent detection of Salt and Pepper (SP) noise in the image and finally the restoration of the image from this noise. The image is first represented as the set union of hyperedges. As for the hyperedges themselves, these are determined by two Image Neighborhood Hypergraph (INHG) parameters, with the concepts of 8-bit neighborhood and INHG of a graph being central. The images taken up for experimental analyses are subjected to the Contra Harmonic Mean (CHM) filter for SP noise removal. The proposed algorithm exhibits superiority over traditional algorithms and recently proposed ones in terms of visual quality, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). This superior performance of the CHM Filter is solely due to the HG representation of the test images. (C) 2010 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
