Adaptive Filter with Type-2 Fuzzy System and Optimization-Based Kernel Interpolation for Satellite Image Denoising

Abstract

Abstract Satellite image denoising is a recent trend in image processing, but faces many challenges due to the environmental factors. Previous works have developed many filters for denoising the hyperspectral satellite images. Accordingly, this work utilizes an adaptive filter with the type 2 fuzzy system and the optimization-based kernel interpolation for the satellite image denoising. Here, the image denoising has been done through three steps, namely noise identification, noise correction and image enhancement. Initially, the type 2 fuzzy system identifies the noisy pixels in the satellite image and converts the image into a binary image, which is passed through the adaptive nonlocal mean filter (ANLMF) for the noise correction. Finally, the kernel-based interpolation scheme carries out the image enhancement, which is done through the proposed chronological Jaya optimization algorithm (chronological JOA) that is developed by modifying Jaya optimization algorithm (JOA) with the chronological idea. The performance of the proposed denoising scheme is analyzed by considering the satellite images from two standard databases, namely Indian pines database and NRSC/ISRO satellite database. Also, the comparative analysis is performed with the state-of-the-art denoising methods using the evaluation metrics, peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index (SSIM) and second derivative-like measure of enhancement (SDME). From the results, it is exposed that the proposed adaptive filter with the chronological JOA has the improved performance with the PSNR of 22.0408 dB, SDME of 244.133 dB and SSIM of 0.872.
