Image denoising using fractal and wavelet-based methods

چکیده
There is a considerable amount of literature about image denoising using wavelet-based methods. Some new ideas where also reported using fractal methods. In this paper we propose a hybrid wavelet-fractal denoising method. Using a non-subsampled overcomplete wavelet transform we present the image as a collection of translation invariant copies in different frequency subbands. Within this multiple representation we do a fractal coding which tries to approximate a noise free image. The inverse wavelet transform of the fractal collage leads to the denoised image. Our results are comparable to some of the most efficient known denoising methods.

Comparative Analysis of Image Denoising Methods Based on Wavelet Transform and Threshold Functions
There are many unavoidable noise interferences in image acquisition and transmission. To make it better for subsequent processing, the noise in the image should be removed in advance. There are many kinds of image noises, mainly including salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise. This paper focuses on the research of the Gaussian noise removal. It introduces many wavelet threshold denoising alg...

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...
