Wavelet shrinkage-based noise reduction from the high resolution X-ray images of epitaxial layers

چکیده
This paper presents advantages of employing the wavelet method in X-ray high-resolution image analysis of nanostructures. It is shown that many more details of the structure examined can be distinguished in rocking curves (RC) as well as in reciprocal space maps (RSM) after application of the numerical procedure. The method proposed seems to be particularly suitable for imperfect epitaxial layers having significant lattice mismatch with respect to substrate. By means of the wavelet analysis of the X-ray images using de-noising procedure details invisible in raw pictures can be detected such as thickness fringes, gradient of lattice parameters etc., and duration of measurements can be shortened.

Assessment of the Wavelet Transform for Noise Reduction in Simulated PET Images
Introduction: An efficient method of tomographic imaging in nuclear medicine is positron emission tomography (PET). Compared to SPECT, PET has the advantages of higher levels of sensitivity, spatial resolution and more accurate quantification. However, high noise levels in the image limit its diagnostic utility. Noise removal in nuclear medicine is traditionally based on Fourier decomposition o...
متن کاملShearlet-Based Adaptive Noise Reduction in CT Images
The noise in reconstructed slices of X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is of unknown distribution, non-stationary, oriented and difficult to distinguish from main structural information. This requires the development of special post-processing methods based on the local statistical evaluation of the noise component. This paper presents an adaptive method of reducing noise in CT images employing th...
متن کاملSpeckle Reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images in Wavelet Domain Using Laplace Distribution
Speckle is a granular noise-like phenomenon which appears in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images due to coherent properties of SAR systems. The presence of speckle complicates both human and automatic analysis of SAR images. As a result, speckle reduction is an important preprocessing step for many SAR remote sensing applications. Speckle reduction can be made through multi-looking during the...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are inherently affected by a multiplicative noise-like phenomenon called speckle, which is indeed the nature of all coherent systems. Speckle decreases the performance of almost all the information extraction methods such as classification, segmentation, and change detection, therefore speckle must be suppressed. Despeckling can be applied by the multilooki...
متن کاملDenoising of Rician noise in Magnitude MRI Images using wavelet shrinkage and fusion method
Improving the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using denoising techniques could enhance their value, provided that signal statistics and image resolution are not compromised. Here, a new denoising method based on wavelet based bayes shrinkage method of the measured noise power from each signal acquisition is presented. Bayes shrink method denoising assumes no prio...
