A Multidimensional Energy Operator for Image Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 1-D nonlinear differential operator (f) = (11)2 If" has been recently introduced to signal processing and has been found very useful for estimating the parameters of sinusoids and the modulating signals of AM—FM signals. It is called an energy operator because it can track the energy of an oscillator source generating a sinusoidal signal. In this paper we introduce the multidimensional extension (f) = 11V1112— fV2f of the 1-D energy operator and briefly outline some of its applications to image processing. We discuss some interesting properties of the multidimensional operator and develop demodulation algorithms to estimate the amplitude envelope and instantaneous frequencies of 2-D spatially-varying AM—FM signals, which can model image textures. The attractive features of the multidimensional operator operator and the related amplitude/frequency demodulation algorithms are their simplicity, efficiency, and ability to track instantaneously-varying spatial modulation patterns.

Convolutional neural network is one of the effective methods for classifying images that performs learning using convolutional, pooling and fully-connected layers. All kinds of noise disrupt the operation of this network. Noise images reduce classification accuracy and increase convolutional neural network training time. Noise is an unwanted signal that destroys the original signal. Noise chang...

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...
