Prof. Ir. Handayani Tjandrasa M.Sc., Ph.D.

Abstract

Soft Weighted Median Filter Method (SWMF) is one of the new methods for noise filtering in image processing. This method is used for two types of noise in images, there is fixed valued noise (FVN) and random valued noise (RVN). Fixed valued noise is a noise type with an unchanged value, it changes the pixel value of the image to the maximum and minimum values (0 and 255), while random valued noise is a noise type with a changed value. An example of fixed valued noise is salt & pepper noise, while for random valued noise can be exemplified as gaussian, poisson, speckle, and localvar noise.
