Denoising MR Images Using Non-Local Means Filter with Combined Patch and Pixel Similarity
Denoising is critical for improving visual quality and reliability of associative quantitative analysis when magnetic resonance (MR) images are acquired with low signal-to-noise ratios. The classical non-local means (NLM) filter, which averages pixels weighted by the similarity of their neighborhoods, is adapted and demonstrated to effectively reduce Rician noise without affecting edge details ...
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 کاملDenoising Multi-view Images Using Non-local Means with Different Similarity Measures
We present a stereo image denoising algorithm. Our algorithm takes as an input a pair of noisy images of an object captured from two different directions (stereo images). We use either Maximum Difference or Singular Value Decomposition similarity metrics for identifying locations of similar searching windows in the input images. We adapt the Non-local Means algorithm for denoising collected pat...
متن کاملNon-local Means for Stereo Image Denoising Using Structural Similarity
We present a novel stereo image denoising algorithm. Our algorithm takes as an input a pair of noisy images of an object captured form two different directions. We use the structural similarity index as a similarity metric for identifying locations of similar patches in the input images. We adapt the Non-Local Means algorithm for denoising collected patches from the input images. We validate ou...
متن کاملSpectral denoising for MR Spectroscopic Imaging using Non-Local Means
Purpose Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is an imaging modality used for studying tissues in-vivo in order to assess and quantify metabolites for diagnostic purposes. However, long scanning times, low spatial resolution, poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the subsequent noise-sensitive non-linear model fitting are major roadblocks in accurately quantifying the metabolite concen...
