Fuzzy Approach for Restoring Color Images Corrupted with Additive Noise

A fuzzy approach is proposed here for restoring color images that are corrupted with additive noise. The proposed fuzzy approach consists of two sub-filters, where the first fuzzy sub-filter computes the fuzzy distances between the color components of the central pixel and its neighborhood using Gaussian combination membership function, and the second sub-filter corrects the pixels where color component differences are corrupted so much. The performance of the proposed approach is compared with conventional filters, both visually and quantitatively, and experimental results show the feasibility of the new approach. Keywords—Additive Noise, filter, fuzzy, distance measure, color images.
