Effectiveness of Filtering Methods in Enhancing Pulmonary Carcinoma Image Quality: A Comparative Analysis

Abstract

<span lang="EN-IN">In recent years, information technology has vastly improved. The quality of the image has been degraded by noise, which defeats the purpose of the noisy images. The major purpose of this paper is to find out which filters provide a better outcome while preprocessing medical images using computer tomography scans. The purpose of this paper is to remove noise from any images, whether they are real-time datasets or online datasets. To enhance an image for preprocessing, I have compared various filters; these filters are already available, but the major purpose is to identify the best filter. I compared the different parameters to find the best and finally found that the modified bilateral filtering provided a better result. The noise has been removed by using a bilateral filter, and the image clarity has not changed when using this filter. We have discussed the advantages and drawbacks of each approach. The effectiveness of these filters is compared using the peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity index, signal-to-noise ratio, and mean square error. An enhanced image processing analysis using different filtering techniques can improve the accuracy of diagnosis, facilitating timely treatment and ultimately improving patient outcomes.</span>
