In this study, we consider a filtering method for image sequence degraded by additive Gaussian noise and/or impulse noise (i.e., mixed noise). For removing the mixed noise from the 1D/2D signal, weighted median filters are well known as a proper choice. We have also proposed a filtering tool based on the weighted median filter with a data-dependent method. We call this data-dependent weighted median (DDWM) filters. Nevertheless, the DDWM filter, its weights are controlled by some local information, is not enough performance to restore the image sequence degraded by the noise. The reason is that the DDWM filter is not able to obtain good filtering performance both in the still and moving regions of an image sequence. To overcome above drawback, we add motion information as a motion detector to the local information that controls the weights of the filters. This new filter is proposed as a Video-Data Dependent Weighted Median (Video-DDWM) filter. Through some simulations, the Video-DDWM filter is shown to give effective restoration results than that given by the DDWM filtering and the conventional filtering method with a motion-conpensation (MC).
