Abstract:

Under summarizing the characteristics of pulse noise, the pulse coupled neural network (PCNN) is combined with gray-scale morphology, and a new pulse noise removing algorithm based on PCNN and gray-scale morphology is proposed. Firstly, the noisy points are located using the synchronous pulse burst property of PCNN, then, are processed using the gray-scale open-close filtering. Finally the algorithm is compared with median filtering, gray-scale open-close filtering and with the algorithm combined PCNN with median filtering. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs well。However,it is at a cost of more calculating time than median filtering and gray-scale open-close filtering. But, with similar results, it spends less time than that of the algorithm combined PCNN with median filtering.

Key words: pulse coupled neural network, median filtering, morphological filtering, pulse noise, peak signal-to-noise ratio
