A system and method provide for an adaptive median filter with edge protection and four line buffers to remove the impulse noise for a Bayer pattern image. The system and method separates the Bayer pattern image data into different channels by color and applies the adaptive median filter to remove the impulse noise on each channel.

Thus, proper threshold values with better brightness response to the input pixels may be applied and impulse noise may be suppressed effectively, while preserving image details.

The invention discloses a method for suppressing image impulse noise based on an iterative non-local mean value, which is mainly used to solve the problems that the existing method cannot preserve image detail information in the denoising process and cannot restore a clear image under high noise density. The implementation steps are: (1) use the histogram method to detect the noise position on the noise image; (2) pre-filter the noise image by selecting and switching the median filter; (3) use iterative non-local filtering on the pre-filtered image The average method is used to obtain a clear image that effectively suppresses impulse noise. Simulation experiments show that the present invention is superior to existing algorithms in subjective visual effects and objective evaluation results under the condition of different degrees of impulse noise, and can be used to suppress high-density impulse noise and restore clear images.

A liquid crystal display drive circuit that suppresses a pulse noise in a liquid crystal display panel without increasing a mounting area is offered. A common signal COMi is varied in a staircase waveform with an increment of 1 / 3 VLCD in such a way that a high electric potential VLCD->a first intermediate electric potential VLCD1->a second intermediate electric potential VLCD2->a low electric potential VSS, when the common signal COMi varies by the maximum amplitude, in other words, when the common signal COMi makes a transition from the high electric potential VLCD to the low electric potential VSS.

A noise suppression apparatus disclosed is capable of suppressing pulse noise in an input signal even in a situation in which the level of the input signal changes. The pulse noise mixed in the input signal is suppressed, and linear prediction coefficients for the input signal is derived by linear prediction analysis. A prediction residual signal is then calculated from the input signal using the linear prediction coefficient. A threshold value is calculated based on the signal level of the input signal and the signal level of the prediction residual signal is compared with the threshold value. A limit control is performed on the prediction residual signal depending on a result of the comparison, and an output signal is generated based on the prediction residual signal having been subjected to the limit control using the linear prediction coefficient.
