Acoustic-optical Image Denoising Using Alpha-Stable Multivariate Shrinkage Function in the Contourlet Domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a method for removing acoustic-optical image noise, based on a statistical model of the decomposed contourlet coefficients. This method proposes an alpha-stable multivariate shrinkage (MS) probability density function to model neighborhood contourlet coefficients. Then, according to the proposed PDF model, we design a maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator, which relies on a Bayesian statistics representation for the contourlet coefficients of acoustic-optical images. There are two obvious virtues of this method. Firstly, contourlet transform decomposition is prior to curvelettransform by using ellipse sampling grid. Secondly, non-Gaussian multivariate shrinkage model is more effective in presentation of the acoustic-optical image contourlet coefficients. Some comparisons with the best available results will be presented in order to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

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 کاملA study on image denoising in contourlet domain using the alpha-stable family of distributions
In the past decade, several image denoising techniques have been developed aiming at recovering signals from noisy data as much as possible along with preserving the features of an image. This paper proposes a new image denoising method in the contourlet domain by using the alpha-stable family of distributions as a prior for contourlet image coefficients. The univariate symmetric alpha-stable d...
متن کاملImproved Denoising of Images Using Modelling of a Redundant Contourlet Transform
In this work we investigate the image denoising problem. One common approach found in the literature involves manipulating the coefficients in the transform domain, e.g. shrinkage, followed by the inverse transform. Several advanced methods that model the inter-coefficient dependencies were developed recently, and were shown to yield significant improvement. However, these methods operate on th...
متن کاملAn extended feature set for blind image steganalysis in contourlet domain
The aim of image steganalysis is to detect the presence of hidden messages in stego images. We propose a blind image steganalysis method in Contourlet domain and then show that the embedding process changes statistics of Contourlet coefficients. The suspicious image is transformed into Contourlet space, and then the statistics of Contourlet subbands coefficients are extracted as features. We us...
متن کاملA Novel NeighShrink Correction Algorithm in Image Denoising
Image denoising as a pre-processing stage is a used to preserve details, edges and global contrast without blurring the corrupted image. Among state-of-the-art algorithms, block shrinkage denoising is an effective and compatible method to suppress additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). Traditional NeighShrink algorithm can remove the Gaussian noise significantly, but loses the edge information i...
