Poisson Image Denoising Based on BLS-GSM Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Poisson noise removal is of significant importance for many applications such as spectral imaging, night vision and especially in medical imaging and astronomy. Gaussian scale mixture based methods have been widely used in image denoising. In this paper, we focus on the Poisson noise and propose a new strategy based on Bayesian least squares method for its removal. We begin with a method that removes Poisson noise by reducing it to an additive Gaussian noise with a Variance Stabilizing Transformation. Then we combine the localized version of BLS-GSM method to bring out a new denoising strategy for images corrupted by Poisson noise and experimentally show that it outperforms some of the best existing methods for Poisson noising removal both numerically and visually.

An Analysis and Improvement of the BLS-GSM Denoising Method
Modeling image properties using the Gaussian scale mixture (GSM) model in a multiresolution transform space is the basic idea of a denoising algorithm proposed by Portilla et al. [Image denoising using scale mixtures of Gaussians in the wavelet domain, IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 12 (2003), pp. 1338–1351]. Under this model and using the correlations between pyramid coefficients, the ...
متن کاملA New Shearlet Framework for Image Denoising
Traditional noise removal methods like Non-Local Means create spurious boundaries inside regular zones. Visushrink removes too many coefficients and yields recovered images that are overly smoothed. In Bayesshrink method, sharp features are preserved. However, PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) is considerably low. BLS-GSM generates some discontinuous information during the course of denoising a...
متن کاملAn Improvement of Steerable Pyramid Denoising Method
The use of wavelets in denoising, seems to be an advantage in representing well the details. However, the edges are not so well preserved. Total variation technique has advantages over simple denoising techniques such as linear smoothing or median filtering, which reduce noise, but at the same time smooth away edges to a greater or lesser degree. In this paper, an efficient denoising method bas...

We present a multi-frame information involved image denoising approach through spatiotemporal GSM (Gaussian Mixture Scales Modeling) of image Curvelet statistics both considering of the innerframe and inter-frame statistics. By using the Bayes inference based least square estimation, we construct a Bayesian Least Squared GSM (BLS-GSM) based image denoising model for single image noise cancellat...
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...
