Performance Analysis of Median Filter in Comparison with Gabor Filter for Skin Cancer MRI Images Based on PSNR and MSE

Abstract

Themain aim of this research is to filter Skin Cancer MRI images based on the image processing technologies using novel median filter algorithm and is compared with Gabor filter algorithm. This research contains two groups, each with a sample size of 20 with Gpower of 80 percent. The performance of the novel median filter is evaluated and the performance measurements such as PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and MSE (Mean Square Error) are compared with the Gabor filter. According to the data obtained by simulating with matlab, the novel median filter's PSNR is 31.64, and its MSE is 9.094, whereas the Gabor filter's PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) is 27.02, and its MSE (Mean Square Error) is 11.52. From the statistical analysis, it is observed that the significant value of PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) (0.409) and <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{p} &gt; 0.05$</tex> and value of MSE (0.010) of the algorithm is <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{p} &lt; 0.05$</tex> . In this study, it is found that the novel Median filter performs better than the Gabor filter in terms of PSNR and MSE.
