Abstract

Two local adaptative nonlinear filters for image denoising are described and compared to other methods. The first one is a median filter computed over a connected neighborhood that fits the local conformation of level lines. The second one deals with the size of grains in image. Both filters depend on a single parameter, the area A, are morphological and associated with smooth as well as unsmooth fixed points. They make the total variation decrease and are able more than other classic morphological filters to denoise while preserving image structures. They are particularly designed for automation.
