A New Iterative Fuzzy-Based Method for Image Enhancement (RESEARCH NOTE) %K Image filtering %K Fuzzy logic %K image enhancement %R %X This paper presents a new filtering approach based on fuzzy-logic which has high performance in mixed noise environments. This filter is mainly based on the idea that each pixel is not allowed to be uniformly fired by each of the fuzzy rules. In the proposed filtering algorithm, the rule membership functions are tuned iteratively in order to preserve the image edges. Several test experiments were performed in order to hlight the merit of the proposed method. The results are very promising and indicating the high performance of the proposed filter in image restoration compared with those of the filters which have been recently cited in the image processing literature. %U https://www.ije.ir/article_71268_26834e49b704b03033106538a80dca95.pdf
