Abstract

ABSTRACT: Owing to local linear model, guided image filter may contain from ringing artefacts. A modified guided image filter based on data mining techniques and decomposition is proposed in this paper. Image is split into patches, passing through the guided filter, clustered into number of clusters and transformed into compact domain using principal component analysis. Edges are preserved and halo artefacts are removed using detail enhancement based on weighted least square. Simulation results demonstrate the strength of the proposed technique as compared with other techniques especially around the edges where noise and halo artefacts may be present in the image.
