A new edge preserving filter is proposed for the edge protection when the background noise is smoothing during image processing. The filter classifies the image spectrum into two areas by analyzing the spectrum characteristics of natural images and the distribution of background noise in image spectrum: one is the energy-concentrated area that plays an important part in rebuilding the edges; and the other is the background noise area. The spectrum of an imported image is calculated by the Fourier transformation. The spectrum is modified during filtering by the filter which gets correction factors by simulating the spectrum envelope of nature image so that the frequency of energy-concentrated area can be preserved and that of background noise area can be restrained. The filtered image still holds the main characteristic of original spectrum
which can be calculated from the modified spectrum using the inverse Fourier transformation. Experimental results show that the proposed filter can well protect the edge information of original image when the background noise is smoothing
has better performances than the traditional Gaussian filter in edge preserving
and creates a better subjective impression than the mean-shift filter.
