Non-Local Means Denoising
We present in this paper a new denoising method called non-local means. The method is based on a simple principle: replacing the color of a pixel with an average of the colors of similar pixels. But the most similar pixels to a given pixel have no reason to be close at all. It is therefore licit to scan a vast portion of the image in search of all the pixels that really resemble the pixel one w...
متن کاملNon-Local Means Denoising of Dynamic PET Images
OBJECTIVE Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET), which reveals information about both the spatial distribution and temporal kinetics of a radiotracer, enables quantitative interpretation of PET data. Model-based interpretation of dynamic PET images by means of parametric fitting, however, is often a challenging task due to high levels of noise, thus necessitating a denoising step. The obje...
متن کاملFast Non Local Means Denoising for 3D MR Images
One critical issue in the context of image restoration is the problem of noise removal while keeping the integrity of relevant image information. Denoising is a crucial step to increase image conspicuity and to improve the performances of all the processings needed for quantitative imaging analysis. The method proposed in this paper is based on an optimized version of the Non Local (NL) Means a...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation-based denoising of magnetic resonance images using restricted local neighborhoods.
In this paper, we propose a method to denoise magnitude magnetic resonance (MR) images, which are Rician distributed. Conventionally, maximum likelihood methods incorporate the Rice distribution to estimate the true, underlying signal from a local neighborhood within which the signal is assumed to be constant. However, if this assumption is not met, such filtering will lead to blurred edges and...
متن کاملDenoising of ECG signals using Non Local Means Filtering Technique
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is an important biomedical signal for analyzing heart activity. Analysis of ECG becomes difficult if noise is augmented with the signal during acquisition. During recent years, several denoising techniques were analyzed within the field of signal processing. In this paper, non local means (NLM) filtering technique is explored for denoising the ECG signal. The noisy ECG s...
