Total Variation Improved Wavelet Thresholding in Image Compression

چکیده
In this paper, we propose using Partial Differential Equation (PDE) techniques in wavelet based image processing to reduce edge artifacts generated by wavelet thresholding. We employ minimization techniques, in particular the minimization of total variation (TV), to modify the retained standard wavelet coefficients so that the reconstructed images have less oscillations near edges. Numerical experiments show that this approach improves the reconstructed image quality in wavelet compression and in denoising.

An Improved Pixon-Based Approach for Image Segmentation
An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...

We propose using Partial Differential Equation (PDE) techniques in wavelet based image processing to remove noise and reduce edge artifacts generated by wavelet thresholding. We employ a variational framework, in particular the minimization of total variation (TV), to select and modify the retained wavelet coefficients so that the reconstructed images have fewer oscillations near edges while no...
متن کاملLossy Image Compression Using Discrete Wavelet Transform and Thresholding Techniques
Results of lossy image compression using wavelet transforms and several thresholding techniques are presented here. The analyzed image was divided into little sub-images and each one was decomposed in a vector following a Hilbert fractal curve. The wavelet transform was applied to each vector and some of the high frequency components were suppressed based on some threshold criteria. Different l...
متن کاملWavelet Based SAR Speckle Reduction and Image Compression
This paper evaluates the performance of the recently published wavelet based algorithm for speckle reduction of SAR images. The original algorithm, based on the theory of wavelet thresholding due to Donoho and Johnstone, has been shown to improve speckle statistics. In this paper we give more extensive results based on tests performed at Lincoln Laboratory (LL). The LL benchmarks show that the ...
متن کاملBayWave: BAYesian WAVElet-based Image Estimation
— Image denoising is an important step in image compression and other image processing algorithms. Hard and soft thresholding algorithms are often used to denoise the images. Recently wavelet transform has been used as a tool to denoise the images. However, there are problems associated with the thresholding algorithms. There is no subjective way to determine the threshold. In this work, we imp...
