Image Restoration Using a Fuzzy-Based Median Filter and Modified Firefly Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

This paper presented an object restoration approach in which images are influenced by the salt & pepper noise replaced by a median filter based on fuzzy logic. A Modified Firefly Optimization Algorithm (MFOA) is used to restore the images based on the Richardson-Lucy algorithm. Denoising, as well as restoring the image, is effectively demonstrated. Compared to current denoising filtered, PSO (Particle swarm optimization) and Adaptive PSO methods.
