Abstract

In last decade, most of the multimedia IoT (M-IoT) applications are gaining popularity where the real-time still and streaming images are captured, and corresponding data is transported to cloud servers via communication networks. In such applications, the image sources are low-cost sensors that introduce impulse noises in the images making it unreliable for any computer vision algorithms running on the cloud. Though many powerful impulse noise removal techniques present in literature, their computational complexities are much higher to carry out the data cleaning operation at the constrained IoT gateways. This paper has proposed an impulse removal technique with lower computational complexity than other well-established techniques best suited to be implemented at IoT gateway level. In this paper, a hybrid detection algorithm is proposed to detect the pixels corrupted by impulse noise followed by a fuzzy filter to restore the detected pixels. It has been observed that HDFF provides an improvement of 3% in comparison to state-of-the-art-filters in terms PSNR. The simulation results also suggest the noise-filtration performance of the proposed technique matches to that of some well-established techniques with lesser computational complexity making it suitable for gateway level implementation in M-IoT applications.
