The Contourlet Transform with Multiple Cycles Spinning for Catenary Image Denoising
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the catenary images, noise and artifacts are introduced due to the acquisition techniques and systems, which may influence the judgement of catenary quailty and working states. In this paper, the contourlet transform (CT) with performances of multi-scale, multi-resolution and anisotropy is proposed, which can be effectively applied to image denoising. However, the CT hasn’t the spinning invariance, which will lead to the Gibbs-like phenomena. In this paper, the CT with multiple cycle spinning is introduced for image denoising, which can effectively eliminate the visual artifacts due to the lack of translational invariance. Meanwhile, the different Laplacian pyramid (LP) filters and directional filter banks (DFB) are proposed to test noisy images. Finally, test the influence of cycle spinning numbers for denoising effects by using different cycle spinning times. The experiment results show that the proposed method has excellent denoising performance in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the visual effects, which is also superior to some other existing methods in overcoming the Gibbs-like phenomena, background smoothing and preservation of edge sharpness and texture.

A new method of image denoising using waveletbased contourlet transform (WBCT) is proposed. Due to the lack of translation invariance of WBCT, image denoising by means of WBCT would lead to Gibbs-like phenomena. In the paper,cycle spinning-based technique is applied to develop translation invariant WBCT denoising scheme. Many simulation experiments with images contaminated by additive white Gau...

In this work the image denoising problem is examined. A common approach involves transform-domain coefficients manipulation, followed by the inverse transform. This approach is highlighted by recently-developed methods that model the inter-coefficient dependencies. However, these methods operate on the transform domain error rather than on the more relevant image domain one. In this work we pro...

Image denoising is a very important step in cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and the energy filtering TEM images before the 3D tomography reconstruction, as it addresses the problem of high noise in these images, that leads to a loss of the contained information. High noise levels contribute in particular to difficulties in the alignment required for 3D tomography reconstruction...
