N.Ramakrishna, Dr.V.S.Mallela . Edge Oriented Spatial Image Filtering Technique. International Journal of Computer Applications. 31, 2 ( October 2011), 45-47. DOI=10.5120/3800-5243
Many techniques have been reported earlier in open literature in the area of digital image enhancement. In this paper, a novel approach is presented which improves the accuracy and minimizes the blurring effect with edge preservation. The work involved construction of a new filter using weighted average method, an edge filter and a combiner. The new filter thus constructed has been tested and evaluated for its performance with several test images. The results are encouraging in terms of de-noising and edge preservation. This technique may find practical applications in the area of preprocessing of digital images.
