چکیده

This paper is about extending the classical Non-Local Means (NLM) denoising algorithm using general shapes instead of square patches. The use of various shapes enables to adapt to the local geometry of the image while looking for pattern redundancies. A fast FFT-based algorithm is proposed to compute the NLM with arbitrary shapes. The local combination of the different shapes relies on Stein’s Unbiased Risk Estimate (SURE). To improve the robustness of this local aggregation, we perform an anistropic diffusion of the risk estimate using a properly modified Perona-Malik equation. Experimental results show that this algorithm improves the NLM performance and it removes some visual artifacts usually observed with the NLM.

Shearlet-Based Adaptive Noise Reduction in CT Images

The noise in reconstructed slices of X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is of unknown distribution, non-stationary, oriented and difficult to distinguish from main structural information. This requires the development of special post-processing methods based on the local statistical evaluation of the noise component. This paper presents an adaptive method of reducing noise in CT images employing th...

Spatially adaptive estimation via fitted local likelihood (FLL) techniques

This paper offers a new technique for spatially adaptive estimation. The local likelihood is exploited for nonparametric modeling of observations and estimated signals. The approach is based on the assumption of a local homogeneity of the signal: for every point there exists a neighborhood in which the signal can be well approximated by a constant. The fitted local likelihood statistics are use...

Three-Dimensional Geostatistical Analysis of Rock Fracture Roughness and Its Degradation with Shearing

Three-dimensional surface geometry of rock discontinuities and its evolution with shearing are of great importance in understanding the deformability and hydro-mechanical behavior of rock masses. In the present research, surfaces of three natural rock fractures were digitized and studied before and after the direct shear test. The variography analysis of the surfaces indicated a strong non-line...

Bayesian Non-local Means Filter, Image Redundancy and Adaptive Dictionaries for Noise Removal

Partial Differential equations (PDE), wavelets-based methods and neighborhood filters were proposed as locally adaptive machines for noise removal. Recently, Buades, Coll and Morel proposed the Non-Local (NL-) means filter for image denoising. This method replaces a noisy pixel by the weighted average of other image pixels with weights reflecting the similarity between local neighborhoods of th...
