Edge-Preserving Laplacian Pyramid
نویسنده
چکیده
5th International Symposium on Visual Computing, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Nov 30 Dec 2, 2009 The Laplacian pyramid recursively splits an image into local averages and local differences using a fixed Gaussian interpolation function. We propose a spatially variant interpolation function that is adaptive to curvilinear edges in the image. Unlike the signal-based multiscale analysis where a step edge is multiply represented at all scales, our perception-based multiscale analysis preserves the edge at a single scale as much as possible. We demonstrate that our average pyramid retains boundaries and shading at lower spatial and tonal resolutions, whereas our difference pyramid refines edge locations and intensity details with a remarkably sparse code, delivering an image synopsis that is uncompromising between faithfulness and effectiveness.

Nonlinear Diffusion based on Bayesian Estimator in Laplacian Pyramid Domain for Ultrasonic Speckle Reduction
Laplacian pyramid based nonlinear diffusion (LPND) method is proposed for speckle noise reduction in medical ultrasound imaging. In this method, speckle is removed by nonlinear diffusion filtering of bandpass ultrasound images in Laplacian pyramid domain. For nonlinear diffusion in each pyramid layer, a Bayesian threshold is automatically determined by a variation of robust median estimator. Th...
متن کاملNoise Reduction with Edge Preservation by Multiscale Analysis of Medical X-Ray Image Sequences
Real-time visualization of digital X-ray image sequences requires the reduction of severe noise while preserving diagnostic details. We introduce a noise reduction method for X-ray image sequences using products of Laplacian pyramid coefficients. The method features SNR improvement comparable to the Wiener filter, however, being superior in the preservation of fine structures and generating a m...
متن کاملX-Y separable pyramid steerable scalable kernels
A new method for generating x-y separable steerable scalable approximations offilter kemels is proposed which is based on a generalization of the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to 3 dimensions. This “pseudo-SVD ” impmves upon a p w w u s scheme due to Pemna in that it reduces convolution time and storage requirements. An adaptation of the pseudo-SVD is proposed to generate steerable and sca...

According to recent advances in digital image processing techniques, interest in high-quality images has been increased. This paper presents a resolution enhancement (RE) algorithm based on the pyramid structure, in which Laplacian histogrammatching is utilized for high-frequency image prediction. The conventional RE algorithms yield blurring near-edge boundaries, degrading image details. In or...
