Abstract
This work provides the knowledge about different filtering techniques such as Mean Filter, Median Filter, Weiner Filter, Min Filter, Max Filter, Lee Filter, Frost Filter, Kuan Filter, Homogenous Filter, Pixel value Filter for speckle noise removal from speckle noise corrupted ultrasound images is discussed. For the evaluation of the performance of above mentioned filters object metrics are calculated. These object metrics are used to calculate the image quality of the output image obtained from above mentioned filters, based on the values of these object metrics the performance of the filters in terms of speckle removal is discussed. Hence the proposed algorithms relieves the human from taking the decision regarding which filter is to be used for an image type since this algorithm compares the different filter outputs and displays the optimal results among the different results produced by different filtering techniques.
