Automatic Detection of Filters in Images with Gaussian Noise Using Independent Component Analysis

In this article we present the results of a study carried out using the popular fastica algorithm applied to the detection of filters in natural images in gray-scale, contaminated with gaussian noise. The detection of filters has been accomplished by using the statistical distribution measures kurtosis and skewness.
