Image Estimation using Interscale Phase Properties of Complex Wavelet Coefficients
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes an approach to image modelling using interscale phase relationships of wavelet coefficients for use in image estimation applications. The method is based on the Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT) but a phase rotation is applied to the coefficients to create complex ‘derotated’ coefficients. These derotated coefficients are shown to have increased correlation compared to standard wavelet coefficients near edge and ridge features allowing improved signal estimation in these areas. The nature of the benefits brought by the derotated coefficients are analysed and the implications for image estimation algorithm design noted. The observations and conclusions provide a basis for design of the the denoising algorithm in [1].

متن کاملInterscale image denoising with wavelet context modeling
This paper presents a wavelet-based linear minimum mean square-error estimation (LMMSE) scheme to exploit the strong wavelet interscale dependencies for image denoising. Using overcomplete wavelet expansion (OWE), we group the wavelet coefficients with the same spatial orientation at adjacent scales as a vector. The LMMSE algorithm is then applied to the vector variable. This scheme exploits th...
متن کاملInterscale Predictive Wavelet Coding with Huber Markov Random Field
An interscale predictive wavelet coding (IPWC) scheme is proposed in this paper. The image is encoded top-down, from the coarsest scale to the finest scale. At each scale, the current scale coefficients are predicted from the coded coefficients at the coarser scale and the prediction residue is encoded. The interscale prediction is based on MAP estimation with Huber Markov random field statisti...
متن کاملStatistical Wavelet-based Image Denoising using Scale Mixture of Normal Distributions with Adaptive Parameter Estimation
Removing noise from images is a challenging problem in digital image processing. This paper presents an image denoising method based on a maximum a posteriori (MAP) density function estimator, which is implemented in the wavelet domain because of its energy compaction property. The performance of the MAP estimator depends on the proposed model for noise-free wavelet coefficients. Thus in the wa...
متن کاملBivariate shrinkage functions for wavelet-based denoising exploiting interscale dependency
Most simple nonlinear thresholding rules for wavelet-based denoising assume that the wavelet coefficients are independent. However, wavelet coefficients of natural images have significant dependencies. In this paper, we will only consider the dependencies between the coefficients and their parents in detail. For this purpose, new non-Gaussian bivariate distributions are proposed, and correspond...
