Real-time impulse noise removal

An adaptive interpolation-based impulse noise removal (AIBINR) algorithm is proposed to remove impulse noise from color and gray-scale images in real time. AIBINR works fast and has no need for parameter tuning to remove fixed-valued impulse noise. A GPU application has been developed to demonstrate the speed and inherent parallelization capabilities of the proposed method. Using the high-speed implementation, we have shown that AIBINR can denoise color images fast enough to be used in real-time video denoising, while having comparable denoising performance when compared to the state-of-the-art methods without any modification to its parameters.
