Abstract: Image filtering is the process that enables us to do some modifications or apply filters on pictures.
Typically the filtering or filter is a thing via which a thing is passed to oust the unwanted particles contained
in it. Here the image filtering is done when we obtain the picture from camera or other device we suppose to
do some effects or modifications on it through image filtering techniques for mitigating the blur or
unwanted substances like noise on the image to enhance the visual quality of the image. The image filtering
is also known as image smoothing which is one of the most eminent process and widely employed for the
image processing ones. The scope of smoothing is to reduce blur and enhance the visual clarity of the
particular image by employing diverse filtering techniques. The most typically used algorithms for filtering
images are linear algorithm and non linear filtering algorithms. The non linear filter is quite distinct
characteristics while compared to linear filter because the response of the given input will not adhere the
principles specified earlier. Filtering becomes an substantial method of signal processing system. It includes
the degradation of signal and its performance. In recent years most of the filtering based techniques are
based on linear processing methods. In this paper we survey and compare the various image filtering
techniques for image processing system. The image filtering techniques are Gaussian filter, Median Filter,
Average Filter, Spatial Filter, Fuzzy Filter, Adaptive Filter, etc. These filters are categorized as Linear and
Non Linear Filters.
Index Terms – Image Filtering, Smoothing, Linear Filter, Non Linear Filter.
I.INTRODUCTION
In recent years there is a vast amount of compact or portable devices coming in image processing and
multimedia applications which are smart phones, camera, tablets, wearable’s, gadgets, etc. These smart
devices typically have restrained computing, power consumption, and storage services which are demanding
high latency sensitive applications. So that the techniques of energy efficient methods are becoming the vital
one for mitigating the power consumption of resource constrained devices. There are several methods to
attain energy efficient methods in the architecture. The most of the image processing or filtering

applications gives output for the human assumption that shows restrained view and the minor deviation in
the output image could not be identified. This application which we typically called as fault tolerant
application that is minor deviations in the output is reasonable. Filtering is often called smoothing which
removes the unwanted noise and blur in the particular image and surge the high resolution of the image by
applying appropriate filters such as Guassian Filter, Fuzzy Filter, FIR Filter, Median Filter, and Adaptive
Filter, etc.
Image Filtering
The term convolution has been broadly used in computer vision and image filtering or processing
techniques which comprises things or entity recognition and picture mapping. Though convolution process
commonly entails a substantial amount of high intensive computing resources such as CPU, Memory, etc.
The image filtering process is employed as preprocessing that is to remove redundant things, noise, and blur
from image. Filtering is the process that the data that is originated from smart devices such as tablets,
phones, etc are preprocessed or filtered through computing technologies. In the literature various FPGA
prototypes are implemented in the 3D Convolution method. The 2D Gaussian function of the image filtering
application renders a savings of computing resources. The filtering output image is recognized by
employing some algorithm to the data in the pixels. The neighborhoods play a essential role in advanced
digital image processing systems. It is therefore substantial to realize how snaps can be sampled and how it
pertains to several neighborhoods that could be utilized to process the particular image. The types of
neighborhoods are
a) Rectangular Sampling.
b) Hexagonal Sampling..
Rectangular Sampling
In Rectangular sampling the images are preserved or sampled by having in a rectangular part over an image.
The Figure 1. It Is the type of Rectangular Sampling.

Hexagonal Sampling
The Hexagonal sampling is the alternative or optional one to the Rectangular Sampling. The Figure 2. It Is
the type of Hexagonal Sampling. Here the signal is circularly bandwidth limited in the same
communication frequency in the same resolution square image. The Hexagonal Sampling reduces the
various points of sampling by a factorization method of 2/3(1/2).

Characteristics of image operations
In image operations there are several ways to categorize and characterize operations of image. The rationale
is to construe what type of response we get from the given input value to attain a specific operation or what
could be the complex problems associated in a given operation. The types of image operations can be
explored in digital images to translate an input image to an output image. It is categorized in to three
operations based on their characterization.
a) Point – the input and output value in a particular coordinate is dependent on the only input value in
the same coordinate. And its generic complexity or pixel is constant.
b) Local - the input and output value in a particular coordinate is dependent on the only input value in
the neighborhood same coordinate. And its generic complexity or pixel is p^2.
c) Global - the input and output value in a particular coordinate is dependent on the all input values in
the input and output coordinate. And its generic complexity or pixel is N^2.

Image Filtering Algorithm
The image filtering algorithm also called software image filtering that process the image or snap to bypass a
specific set of frequency components. When maps to audio, reflection, and communication the word
frequency is measured is cycle per second. To understand the patterns as component frequency in images
the image filtering is often used to filter the images to obtain the high definition content without noise, blur,
and unwanted things. The filtering is also used to improve the patterns of spatial determined by the intensity
of light instead of light frequency.

The image consists of collection of component frequencies. To determine how filtering process happens it
can prototype the imaging functions such as pass, adaptive, median, and various other frequencies. The
scope of image filtering is to identify the needed data in certain levels of frequency spectrum to expel the
unwanted frequencies. In image filtering algorithm smoothing filters are applicable in many applications are
object sensing, mapping, and categorization, etc. These are applied for the preprocessing the redundant
details and noise. There are two algorithms are,
a) Gaussian Mask.
b) Convolution Operation
Gaussian Mask
Guassian Mask also called guassian filter which is one of the prominent and broadly deployed filtering
algorithms in image processing or filtering techniques. The Guassian Filter (G) is defined as G(x,y) = ½
(pi)(e^(x+y)). Where G is the Gaussian Filter, x and y are the coordinates. The Guassian Mask that uses a
Guassian Function for expressing the normal distribution in the formula and also for reckoning the
transformation to employ to every pixel in the image identified if not the procedure recurs again to extract
the matched eyes from the millions of records stored in the database. The rationale is to construe what type
of response we get from the given input value to attain a specific operation or what could be the complex
problems associated in a given operation. The types of image operations can be explored in digital images to
translate an input image to an output image. It is categorized in to three operations based on their
characterization. The image filtering process is employed as preprocessing that is to remove redundant
things, noise, and blur from image. Filtering is the process that the data that is originated from smart devices
such as tablets, phones, etc.

Convolution operation
The Convolution operation is a imaging process that process a multiple shift integration operation. During
the run time the pixel of each image is integrated or centralized over other pixels in an old image. The
earlier values of pixel under the Operating system kernel is multiplied by the associated processing pixels
for example all are same as 1. The outcomes of all multiplications are integrated in to one image and the
outcome values are reported in the output image. The kernel processing is for calculating the simple
mathematical methods for many typical image processing operations. In the image filtering context it
renders a way to separate the two arrays of numbers in the equal dimensions which can be utilized in image
filtering techniques. The output pixel values are basic nonlinear and linear associations of some input pixel
values.
Generally smoothing can be designed by complying the original image of taken picture of the size x and y
includes Gaussian mask. It is acquired by calculating the sum of products of the input and output image with
the matrix of the size 3*3 using the convolution operation. In convolution linear filtering can be applied
using a method called discrete convolution. Ceaseless convolution is typical in image and signal processing
systems but the snaps or images are not discrete. Here we employ only discrete convolution.
a) Specifies the weight of pixel as an image, represents as K.
b) K the image representation commonly called kernel in convolution.
c) Here the kernel operation is associative.

II. IMAGE FILTERING TECHNIQUES
Guassian Filter
The Guassian Filter is one of the widely used image filtering techniques and also it is denoted as weighted
non linear filter which is employing for ousting the blur and noise of the image. The Guassian Filter is
typically utilizing for the preprocessing method in the particular image before we go for the edge detection
to oust the redundant particles or entities caused by noise. In order to efficiently utilize or implement GF
(Gaussian Filter) the equation of Guassian is determined by the operating system kernel of variant sizes. The
larger size of OS Kernel is good in the Gaussian expression or equation which renders high definition
quality for viewing the image visually in the lower cost computational complexity. To attain the filtered
image the convolution operation is performed with the Guassian Kernel along with sub matrix image which
exhibits constant multiplier floating point since it consumes high energy.
Energy Efficient Filter Design
In Energy efficient Filter design we can review the variance of energy efficient operating system kernels for
efficiently calculate the filtered pixel. The following energy efficient kernels are,
a) Fixed Point Guassian Kernel.
b) Digital Approximated 2D Gaussian Kernel.
c) Low complexity using neighbor pixels similarity.
d) Approximate Gaussian Filter using approximate adders.
Fixed Point Guassian Kernel
There Fixed point Guassian Kernel is one of the energy efficient operating systems kernel. It has developed
mainly for mitigating the implementation complexity of coefficients of kernel to the static point rather than
dynamic ones. In static point configuration the format (1,m) specifies the number of bits or bytes. The m
denotes the location of the least significant bits. The operating systems kernel mitigate the complexity of
employing the filter which produces the outcomes in substantial reduction in energy consumption and delay
metrics. And also the kernel provides the unacceptable quality delay.

Digital approximated 2D Guassian Kernel
The digital approximated 2D Kernel which substantially mitigates the Guassian Kernel implementation
complexity. In Guassian Kernel each coefficient is determined by sum and power of two. Since the
multiplication of any value or term with a static value in power of two does not require hardware and
software implementation. The architecture that utilized the coefficients of kernel is the sum and power of
two to calculate the smoothened pixel. The quality metrics are as follows,
a) Mean Square Error (MSE).
b) Normalized Error Distance (NED).
c) Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR).
d) Structural Similarity (SSIM).
In order to efficiently utilize or implement GF (Gaussian Filter) the equation of Guassian is determined by
the operating system kernel of variant sizes. The larger size of OS Kernel is good in the Gaussian expression
or equation which renders high definition quality for viewing the image visually in the lower cost
computational complexity. The kernel processing is for calculating the simple mathematical methods for
many typical image processing operations. In the image filtering context it renders a way to separate the two

Low Complexity using Neighbor Pixels Similarity
In low complexity using neighbor pixels similarity the neighbor pixel in each image shows correlation is
higher that is dta or information in image pixels will be the same nearly. This method or property could be
explored to mitigate the implementation complexity of the low complexity using neighbor pixels similarity.
Since most of the images have the higher visual quality the edge of images is very tiny in number which
assumes that adjacent pixel of every images is nearly same. In case of smoothing the image the sub matrix is
processed for to acquire the better quality of image. So that in context of neighbor pixel should be the same
as like neighbor pixel similarity (NPS) when applied to sub matrix which significantly mitigate the burden
of computational complexity of smoothening the image filter. The low complexity neighbor pixels similarity
comprises of three common steps which are as follows,
a) Image preprocessing
b) Feature detection
c) Ellipse fitting

Approximate Guassian Filter using Guassian Adders
In Approximate Guassian Filter using Guasssian Adders where approximate adders are physically
embedded for the precise GF (Guassian Filter) to barely mitigate the noise, area, latency, and energy. In the
approximate Guassian Filter using Approximate Adders various bit – width adders are exploited to attain
energy and power consumption trade off. The coefficients of kernel is to prototype or design the
approximate filter. The adders which are approximate one of the approximate adders are error tolerant
adders which are exploited to attain power consumption and energy efficiency. The architecture of
approximate Guassian Filter GF is determined for viewing the better visual quality image. Here the k value
denotes the how many bits in adder in which approximate logic is employed to reckon the sum, further this
architecture entails low number of adders for approximating or reducing the implementation complexity.
The various bit – width calculations are implemented to acquire the enhanced metrics of design and quality.
This method or property could be explored to mitigate the implementation complexity of the low
complexity using neighbor pixels similarity. Since most of the images have the higher visual quality the
edge of images is very tiny in number which assumes that adjacent pixel of every images is nearly same. In

the techniques of energy efficient methods are becoming the vital one for mitigating the power consumption
of resource constrained devices. There are several methods to attain energy efficient methods in the
architecture. The most of the image processing or filtering applications gives output for the human
assumption that shows restrained view and the minor deviation in the output image could not be identified.

Median Filter
The Median Filter is one of the second image filtering techniques. The Median Filter is comes under the non
linear digital image filtering technique or method. The median filter technique is mostly used for expelling
noise or blur from the signal or image. This reduction of blur or noise is a common filtering or
preprocessing steps to enhance the outcomes of subsequent processing. We can denote the example is

detection of edge in an image. The median filtering is broadly exploited in digital image processing
technique since under some laws or conditions the median filtering preserves edges on the particular image
when mitigating the noise and also possess applications in digital or signal processing. The boundary issues
in median filtering are,
a) Dodge the boundaries processing with or without adding the signal and image boundary conditions.
b) Fetching the attributes related to images in the signal. The images in example entries from the
boundaries of horizontal or vertical elements could be selected.
c) Shrinking the boundaries near the window such that evry window is complete.

Objective of Median Filtering
The objective of median filtering technique is mostly used for expelling noise or blur from the signal or
image. This reduction of blur or noise is a common filtering or preprocessing steps to enhance the outcomes
of subsequent processing. The objectives are as follows,
a) To exclude signal weakening which includes counters of objects and edges blurred.
b) Make sure that better image pixels are in intact irrespective of volume and density of noise in the
picture.
c) Abstain the circumstance where the recognized noise pixel is replaced with some other noise
pixel.
d) Mitigate the algorithm’s time complexity.

Drawbacks
The drawbacks of the Median Filtering are,
a) Senses noise and replace with another noise pixel.
b) Affecting some of the good pixels when volume or density of the nose is low.
c) Surging the processing time while the density of the noise in the picture is high.
d) Hard to sense and preserve edge details in an image.
Fuzzy Filter
One of the most popular methods of image filtering is Fuzzy filter. It renders outcomes in image or digital
processing tasks that deal with some shortcomings of the classical filters. Fuzzy filter is potential of arguing
with the vague and unsure data or information. Most of the times it entailed to rejuvenate a heavy noise
polluted image in which there is a lot of unwanted particles present in image. Every pixel in the image is
denoted by a function membership and various types of rues in fuzzy filters that points out the information
of neighborhood to remove the filter with blurred images.

Adaptive Filter
The Adaptive Filter is also called Wiener Filter and it comes under the category of linear filters. Here if the
difference is large weiner performs bit smoothing technique. This is one of the approach adaptive filter often
renders outcome better than the linear filtering. The adaptive filter is more precise than a non linear and
linear filter in the way of preserving edges also better frequency parts in an image. Therefore there are no
prototype tasks the weiner function directs all the fundamental computations and implements the adaptive

filter for the particular input image. Adaptive filter requires more processing or computation time than the
non linear filtering. The weiner works better in case of expelling noise in image.

Spatial Filter
The Spatial Filter is one of the image filtering techniques. It is the optical device which employs the laws of
fourier optics to transform the structure of light beam and other electromagnetic radiation. It commonly
called coherent laser light. The spatial filtering is typically used to erase or clean up the blur or noise of the
images also expel abbreviations in the light beam because of imperfect, noise, blur, and other damaged
optics. The spatial filtering can be applied to send a transverse mode from multiple lasers, when blocking
other modes reflected from the light. The term spatial filtering indicates the desirable common features od
the original image. The applications of spatial filtering which are as follows,
a) Sensing and sharpening boundary unceaseless images for the fingerprints, remote sensing images.
b) Expel unwanted noise from a laser beam
c) Locate the faults or errors in the masks used to create integrated circuits.
d) Removing unwanted characteristics from the photographs or images.

such as spatial filter, adaptive filter, fuzzy filter, median filter, and Gaussian filter. There are several
methods to attain energy efficient methods in the architecture. The most of the image processing or filtering
applications gives output for the human assumption that shows restrained view and the minor deviation in
