Image Restoration from Internet Transmission Corruption

In this chapter, we present a new algorithm which can remove impulse noise from corrupted images while preserving details. In Section 15.2, the algorithm is fundamentally different from the traditional methods in that it can utilize the information of not only a local window centered about the corrupted pixel but also some remote regions in the image. Experimental results indicate that our algorithm outperforms many existing techniques in Section 15.3. Its performance was analyzed in Section 15.4.
