first embodiment
One of the advantages of the method of image processing shown in FIG. 1 is that the step of selectively smoothing is effective in removing most noise types including Gaussian-type noise but is ineffective in removing speckle-type noise (e.g., white dots on black or black dots on white) since speckles often appear as edges to selective smoothing filters, while the selective sharpening step using variable contrast stretching is effective in removing the speckle-type noise. As a result, the system and method of image processing removes a significant amount of noise from the image.
Removal of noise from image data allows for increased compressibility of the image-data. Accordingly, one application of the image processing method of the present invention is the pre-processing of image data according to the methods shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 prior to compressing the image data.
It should be noted that the effectiveness of the noise removal is dependent on what type of selective smoothing is p...
