Bayesian wavelet-based image estimation using noninformative priors

چکیده
The sparseness and decorrelation properties of the discrete wavelet transform have been exploited to develop powerful denoising methods. Most schemes use arbitrary thresholding nonlinearities with ad hoc parameters, or employ computationally expensive adaptive procedures. We overcome these de ciencies with a new wavelet-based denoising technique derived from a simple empirical Bayes approach based on Je reys' non-informative priors. Our approach is a step towards objective Bayesian wavelet-based denoising. The result is a remarkably simple xed non-linear shrinkage/thresholding rule which performs better than other more computationally demanding methods.

Wavelet-based image estimation: an empirical Bayes approach using Jeffrey's noninformative prior
The sparseness and decorrelation properties of the discrete wavelet transform have been exploited to develop powerful denoising methods. However, most of these methods have free parameters which have to be adjusted or estimated. In this paper, we propose a wavelet-based denoising technique without any free parameters; it is, in this sense, a "universal" method. Our approach uses empirical Bayes...
متن کاملAnalysis of Multiresolution Image Denoising Schemes Using Generalized{gaussian Priors
In this paper, we investigate various connections between wavelet shrinkage methods in image processing and Bayesian estimation using Generalized Gaus-sian priors. We present fundamental properties of the shrinkage rules implied by Generalized Gaussian and other heavy{tailed priors. This allows us to show a simple relationship between diierentiability of the log{ prior at zero and the sparsity ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Multiresolution Image Denoising Schemes Using Generalized Gaussian and Complexity Priors
Recent research on universal and minimax wavelet shrinkage and thresholding methods has demonstrated near{ideal estimation performance in various asymptotic frameworks. However, image processing practice has shown that universal thresholding methods are outperformed by simple Bayesian estimators assuming independent wavelet coeecients and heavy{tailed priors such as Generalized Gaussian distrib...
متن کاملEstimation of Quadratic Functions: Noninformative Priors for Non-centrality Parameters
The estimation of quadratic functions of a multivariate normal mean is an inferential problem which, while being simple to state and often encountered in practice, leads to surprising complications both from frequentist and Bayesian points of view. The drawbacks of Bayesian inference using the constant noninformative prior are now well established and we consider in this paper the advantages an...
متن کاملFully Bayesian spline smoothing and intrinsic autoregressive priors By PAUL
There is a well-known Bayesian interpretation for function estimation by spline smoothing using a limit of proper normal priors. The limiting prior and the conditional and intrinsic autoregressive priors popular for spatial modelling have a common form, which we call partially informative normal. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the propriety of the posterior for this class of ...
