چکیده
------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT--------------------------------------------------------------Although the wavelet transform is powerful in representing images containing smooth areas separated with edges, it cannot perform well when the edges are smooth curves. Wavelets are less effective for images where singularities are located both in space and directions. The contourlet transform is one of the new geometrical image transforms, which represents images containing contours and textures. New developments in directional transforms, known as contourlets in two dimensions, which have the property of capturing contours. The present paper is a discussion of image de-noised by wavelet and contourlet transform. Contoulets, wavelets, Image de-noising

Comparative Study of Different Wavelet based Image De-noising Methods
The de-noising is a challenging task in the field of signal and image processing. Any natural image corrupted by gussian noise can be de-noised using wavelet method. Wavelet-based image denoising is an important technique in the area of image noise reduction. Wavelets have their natural ability to represent images in a very sparse form which is the foundation of wavelet-based denoising through ...
متن کاملDe-Noising SPECT Images from a Typical Collimator Using Wavelet Transform
Introduction: SPECT is a diagnostic imaging technique the main disadvantage of which is the existence of Poisson noise. So far, different methods have been used by scientists to improve SPECT images. The Wavelet Transform is a new method for de-noising which is widely used for noise reduction and quality enhancement of images. The purpose of this paper is evaluation of noise reduction in SPECT ...
متن کاملAssessment of the Wavelet Transform for Noise Reduction in Simulated PET Images
Introduction: An efficient method of tomographic imaging in nuclear medicine is positron emission tomography (PET). Compared to SPECT, PET has the advantages of higher levels of sensitivity, spatial resolution and more accurate quantification. However, high noise levels in the image limit its diagnostic utility. Noise removal in nuclear medicine is traditionally based on Fourier decomposition o...
متن کاملTranslation-invariant Multiwavelets for Image De-noising
Over the past decade wavelet transforms have received a lot of attention from researchers in many diierent areas. Both discrete and continuous wavelet transforms have shown great promises in such diverse elds as image compression, image De-noising, signal processing, computer graphics, and pattern recognition, to name a few. Most of the work has been done on scalar wavelets, i.e., wavelets gene...
متن کاملCompression and Denoising - Comparative Analysis from still Images using Wavelet Techniques
With the growth of the multimedia technology over the past decades, the demand for digital information has increased dramatically. This enormous demand poses difficulties for the current technology to handle. One approach to overcome this problem is to compress the information by removing the redundancies present in it. This is the lossy compression scheme that is often used to compress informa...
