Performance Comparison of Transform Domain for Speckle Reduction in Ultrasound Image
نویسندگان
چکیده
Image Denoising has remained a fundamental problem in the field of image processing. Ultrasonic images are inherently affected by speckle (multiplicative) noise, which is due to the coherent wave inference in tissue. This paper described a comparative study of various frequency domain filters for speckle suppression in ultrasound image. In this paper mainly comparative study of wavelet, ridgelet and curvelet transform. The performance of image denoising algorithm in term of PSNR

Speckle Reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images in Wavelet Domain Using Laplace Distribution
Speckle is a granular noise-like phenomenon which appears in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images due to coherent properties of SAR systems. The presence of speckle complicates both human and automatic analysis of SAR images. As a result, speckle reduction is an important preprocessing step for many SAR remote sensing applications. Speckle reduction can be made through multi-looking during the...
متن کاملSpeckle Reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images in Wavelet Domain Exploiting Intra-scale and Inter-scale Dependencies
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are inherently affected by a multiplicative noise-like phenomenon called speckle, which is indeed the nature of all coherent systems. Speckle decreases the performance of almost all the information extraction methods such as classification, segmentation, and change detection, therefore speckle must be suppressed. Despeckling can be applied by the multilooki...
متن کاملNonsubsampled contourlet transform based spatially adaptive shrinkage for speckle reduction of medical ultrasound image
Speckle is a multiplicative noise that degrades ultrasound images. In this paper, a statistical spatially adaptive approach for speckle reduction in medical ultrasound images based posterior conditional means (PCM) estimation in the nonsubsampled contourlet domain is proposed. In this framework, a new class of statistical model for nonsubsampled contourlet coefficients is proposed. And the prop...
متن کاملComparative Approach for Speckle Reduction in Medical Ultrasound Images
Medical images are often deteriorated by noise due to various sources of interferences and other phenomena that affect the measurement processes in an imaging and acquisition system. Speckle noise is a random mottling of the image with bright and dark spots, which obscures fine details and degrades the detectability of low-contrast lesions. Speckle noise occurrence is often undesirable, since i...
متن کاملAn Alpha-stable Based Bayesian Algorithm for Speckle Noise Removal in the Wavelet Domain
This paper introduces a novel speckle noise removal method for medical ultrasound images. First, the logarithmic transform of the original image is analyzed in the wavelet domain. We show that the subband decompositions of ultrasound images have signi£cant non Gaussian statistics that are best described by families of heavy-tailed distributions such as the alpha-stable. Consequently, we design ...
