Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform: Filter Design and Applications in Denoising
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study the nonsubsampled contourlet transform. We address the corresponding filter design problem using the McClellan transformation. We show how zeroes can be imposed in the filters so that the iterated structure produces regular basis functions. The proposed design framework yields filters that can be implemented efficiently through a lifting factorization. We apply the constructed transform in image noise removal where the results obtained are comparable to the state-of-the art, being superior in some cases.

A Robust Image Denoising Technique in the Contourlet Transform Domain
The contourlet transform has the benefit of efficiently capturing the oriented geometrical structures of images. In this paper, by incorporating the ideas of Stein’s Unbiased Risk Estimator (SURE) approach in Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) domain, a new image denoising technique is devised. We utilize the characteristics of NSCT coefficients in high and low subbands and apply SURE sh...

متن کاملDenoising Method Based on the Nonsubsampled Shearlet Transform
In this paper, a new bivariate shrinkage denoising method is proposed to model statistics of shearlet coefficients of images. Using Bayesian estimation theory we derive from this model a simple non-linear shrinkage function for shearlet denoising, which generalizes the soft threshold approach. Experimental results show that the proposed method can remove Gaussian white noise while effectively p...
متن کاملSpatial Images Feature Extraction Based on Bayesian Nonlocal Means Filter and Improved Contourlet Transform
Spatial images are inevitably mixed with different levels of noise and distortion. The contourlet transform can provide multidimensional sparse representations of images in a discrete domain. Because of its filter structure, the contourlet transform is not translation-invariant. In this paper, we use a nonsubsampled pyramid structure and a nonsubsampled directional filter to achieve multidimens...
متن کاملMedical Image Denoising Using a Nonlinear Thresholding Function in Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform
This paper proposes a new method of medical image denoising based on a new nonlinear thresholding function in Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) domain. In medical images, noise suppression is a particularly delicate and difficult task. A tradeoff between noise reduction and the preservation of actual image features has to be made in a way that enhances the diagnostically relevant image ...
