MRI denoising using nonlocal neutrosophic set approach of Wiener filtering

چکیده
In this paper, a new filtering method is presented to remove the Rician noise from magnetic resonance images (MRI) acquired using single coil MRI acquisition system. This filter is based on nonlocal neutrosophic set (NLNS) approach of Wiener filtering. A neutrosophic set (NS), a part of neutrosophy theory, studies the origin, nature, and scope of neutralities, as well as their interactions with different ideational spectra. Now, we apply the neutrosophic set into image domain and define some concepts and operators for image denoising. First, the nonlocal mean is applied to the noisy MRI. The resultant image is transformed into NS domain, described using three membership sets: true (T), indeterminacy (I) and false (F). The entropy of the neutrosophic set is defined and employed to measure the indeterminacy. The onlocal means SNR ician distribution SIM iener Wiener filtering operation is used on T and F to decrease the set indeterminacy and to remove the noise. The experiments have been conducted on simulated MR images from Brainweb database and clinical MR images. The results show that the NLNS Wiener filter produces better denoising results in terms of qualitative and quantitative measures compared with other denoising methods, such as classical Wiener filter, the anisotropic diffusion filter, the total variation minimization and the nonlocal means filter.

متن کاملAn Adaptive Hierarchical Method Based on Wavelet and Adaptive Filtering for MRI Denoising
MRI is one of the most powerful techniques to study the internal structure of the body. MRI image quality is affected by various noises. Noises in MRI are usually thermal and mainly due to the motion of charged particles in the coil. Noise in MRI images also cause a limitation in the study of visual images as well as computer analysis of the images. In this paper, first, it is proved that proba...

Nonlocal Means (NLM) algorithm is widely considered as a state-of-the-art denoising filter in many research fields. Its high computational complexity leads researchers to the development of parallel programming approaches and the use of massively parallel architectures such as the GPUs. In the recent years, the GPU devices had led to achieving reasonable running times by filtering, slice-by-sli...
متن کاملSpatially Adaptive Wiener Filtering for Image Denoising Using Undecimated Wavelet Transform Elec 590 Project Report
Recently wavelet thresholding has been a popular approach to the 1-D and 2-D signal (image) denoising. In this work, instead of thresholding the wavelet coeecients, estimation approaches are proposed in the wavelet domain to reduce the noise. The fundamental philosophy is to consider the wavelet coeecients as a stationary random signal. Therefore, an optimal linear mean squared error estimate c...
