Image Denoising In Gaussian and Impulsive Noise Based On Block Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition

In this paper we develop an adaptive algorithm for decomposition and filtering of grayscales images. This method is highly adaptive decomposition image called Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition (BEMD) based in blocks. This proposed approach decomposes image into a basis functions named Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) and residue. This method offers a good result in visual quality but it consumes an important execution time. To overcome this problem we propose a new approach using Block based BEMD method where the input image is subdivided into blocks. Then the conventional BEMD is applied on each of the four blocks separately. This proposed extended method gives a solution in reduction of execution time. This approach shows the good results in the field of image filtering. Denoised image is obtained by summing the residue and the filtered first IMFs (the detail) using a wavelet technique. Experimental results positively show that this proposed methodology removes Gaussian and Impulsive noises from the images.
