Abstract
Removing Mixed Gaussian and Impulse Noise (MGIN) is considered to be one of the most essential topics in the domain of image restoration, and it is much more challenging than to remove pure Gaussian or impulse noise separately. Therefore, relatively fewer works have been published in this area. This paper proposes a new integrated approach for MGIN removal that is based on a Non-Singleton Interval Type-2 (NS-IT2) Fuzzy Logic System (FLS), and explains how to design such a NS-IT2 FLS using a Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) algorithm. Then the paper goes on to introduce two supplementary components, a Block-Matching 3-Dimensional Discrete Cosine Transformation (BM3D DCT) filter and a contrast scaling filter, which augment the overall performance of the NS-IT2 FLS. Finally, the paper shows that this proposed approach indeed provides both quantitatively and visually much better results compared to other often-used non-fuzzy techniques as well as its Type-1 (T1) and singleton IT2 (S-IT2) counterparts.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems is a forum for research on various methodologies for the management of imprecise, vague, uncertain or incomplete information. The aim of the journal is to promote theoretical or methodological works dealing with all kinds of methods to represent and manipulate imperfectly described pieces of knowledge, excluding results on pure mathematics or simple applications of existing theoretical results. It is published bimonthly, with worldwide distribution to researchers, engineers, decision-makers, and educators.
