Abstract
In this cognitive work we focused on investigation of some filters used for image processing in application for noise removal in IR images. In IR imaging the choice of filter depends mainly on the purpose of the processing, e.g. detection of small objects in complex images, edge and contour detection or removal of non-uniformity of the detector array. The performance of the selected noise reduction filters was evaluated using PSNR and RMSE quality measure. The results are shown only for few images from our database which contain over 2000 of IR images.
