A Review on Speckle Noise Reduction Techniques
نویسنده
چکیده
In medical image processing, Image denoising plays a very important role in diagnosis. Medical images are very much inconsistent. In medical imaging, Ultrasound is very popular due to its low cost, least harmful to human body, real time system and small in size. Besides itsadvantage,It suffers from a major problem i.e. speckle noise which reduces the diagnosis ability. Speckle noise is the result of diffuse scattering, which occurs when the sound waves (ultrasound) randomly interferes with a small particle or object on a scale comparable to small wavelength. Speckle Noise is an inherent property of SAR and ultrasound images. As Speckle noise is multiplicative in nature which is very much difficult to remove.So this paper presents a review on different spatial and transform methods such as spatial domain technique and wavelet domain techniques which are already proposed for filtering speckle noise in ultrasound images

Speckle Noise Reduction for the Enhancement of Retinal Layers in Optical Coherence Tomography Images
Introduction One of the most important pre-processing steps in optical coherence tomography (OCT) is reducing speckle noise, resulting from multiple scattering of tissues, which degrades the quality of OCT images. Materials and Methods The present study focused on speckle noise reduction and edge detection techniques. Statistical filters with different masks and noise variances were applied on ...

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...

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 کاملOn Speckle Noise Reduction In Medical Ultrasound Images
In general, one of the main problems to be solved in the processing of biomedical images is the noise reduction. The problem is particularly important if the noise has a multiplicative nature (speckle). We present a review of techniques that can be used to reduce this kind of noise in ultrasound images. That techniques have been used on B-mode echocardiograms with four-chamber view, selecting a...
متن کاملThe Application of Multi-Layer Artificial Neural Networks in Speckle Reduction (Methodology)
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) uses the spatial and temporal coherence properties of optical waves backscattered from a tissue sample to form an image. An inherent characteristic of coherent imaging is the presence of speckle noise. In this study we use a new ensemble framework which is a combination of several Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks to denoise OCT images. The noise is...
