IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING SAID PROGRAM Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC G06T5/20 G06K9/40 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: first band pass (BP) is determined based on initial image data; a matrix of filter coefficients (FC) is calculated to obtain frequency characteristics corresponding to limitation of frequency band (FB) using the first BP; data of the first filtered image are generated by filtering data of the initial image using the matrix of first FC; an estimate value of the objective image quality of data of the first filtered image is obtained and the distribution coefficient (DC) is calculated, which is used to determine the optimum BP based on the estimate value of objective image quality; the optimum BP corresponding to the calculated DC is determined using a table in which the corresponding relationship between DC and optimum BP is defined; a matrix of optimum FC is calculated to obtain frequency characteristics corresponding to limitation of FB using the optimum BP; and data of the optimally filtered image is generated by filtering data of the initial image using the matrix of optimum FC.

EFFECT: adaptive image filtering process for providing high-quality image.
