Discrete Wavelet Diffusion for Image Denoising
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nonlinear diffusion, proposed by Perona and Malik, is a wellknown method for image denoising with edge preserving characteristics. Recently, nonlinear diffusion has been shown to be equivalent to iterative wavelet shrinkage, but only for (1) MallatZhong dyadic wavelet transform and (2) Haar wavelet transform. In this paper, we generalize the equivalence of nonlinear diffusion to nonlinear shrinkage in the standard discrete wavelet transform (DWT) domain. Two of the major advantages of the standard DWT are its simplicity (as compared to 1) and its potential to benefit from a greater range of orthogonal and biorthogonal filters (as compared to both 1 and 2). We also extend the wavelet diffusion implementation to multiple scales. The qualitative and quantitative results shown for a variety of images contaminated with noise demonstrate the promise of the proposed standard wavelet diffusion.

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...

MRI is one of the most powerful techniques to study the internal structure of the body. MRI image quality is affected by various noises. Noises in MRI are usually thermal and mainly due to the motion of charged particles in the coil. Noise in MRI images also cause a limitation in the study of visual images as well as computer analysis of the images. In this paper, first, it is proved that proba...

Image Denoising has remained a fundamental problem in the field of image processing. It still remains a challenge for researchers because noise removal introduces artifacts and causes blurring of the images. In the existing system the signal denoising is performed using neighbouring wavelet coefficients. The standard discrete wavelet transform is not shift invariant due to decimation operation....
