Abstract

Image restoration is an art to improve image quality by disposing of reducing the amount of noise and blurring present in the image. So it is one of the research titles of interest to the researchers. The images get degraded due to environmental conditions and atmospheric difference, it is therefore important to retrieve original images using different algorithms of image processing. There are widespread applications to restore images in our world today. In this research we present a new proposed method to manipulate image using median filter and has also applied inverse filter to image restoration, then combining the proposed method with inverse filter. The proposed method has been evaluated and compared with inverse Filter and with the merger by using different performance with parameters to verify efficiency and performances of these methods.
The experimental results on the test image will explain the capabilities of the proposed method to restored image, were the value of the image quality and PSNR (peak Signal to Noise ratio) is better compared with inverse filter, where values of PSNR for Lena Image is 70.3536 and for Girl Image is 71.5410 when using the proposed method of median filter, while values of PSNR when using inverse filter are 62.3225 and 62.6008 respectively when speckle noise.
