Multiple Copy Image Denoising via Wavelet Thresholdings
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work addresses the recovery of an image from noisy observations when multiple noisy copies of the image are available. The standard method is to compute the average of these copies. Since the wavelet thresholding technique has been shown to eeectively denoise a single noisy copy, it is natural to consider combining these two operations of averaging and thresholding. The rst important task is to nd the optimal ordering. The second issue is the threshold selection for each method. By modeling the signal wavelet coeecients as Laplacian distributed and the noise as Gaussian, our investigation nds the optimal ordering to depend on the number of available copies and on the signal-to-noise ratio. We propose thresholds that are nearly optimal under the assumed model for each ordering. With the optimal and near-optimal thresholds, the two methods yield very similar performance, and both show considerable improvement over merely averaging.

Statistical Wavelet-based Image Denoising using Scale Mixture of Normal Distributions with Adaptive Parameter Estimation
Removing noise from images is a challenging problem in digital image processing. This paper presents an image denoising method based on a maximum a posteriori (MAP) density function estimator, which is implemented in the wavelet domain because of its energy compaction property. The performance of the MAP estimator depends on the proposed model for noise-free wavelet coefficients. Thus in the wa...

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...

Wiener filter suppresses noise efficiently. However, it makes the out image blurred. Curvelet preserves the edges of natural images perfectly, but, it produces visual distortion artifacts and fuzzy edges to the restored image, especially in homogeneous regions of images. In this paper, a new image denoising framework based on Curvelet transform and wiener filter is proposed, which can stop nois...

Traditional noise removal methods like Non-Local Means create spurious boundaries inside regular zones. Visushrink removes too many coefficients and yields recovered images that are overly smoothed. In Bayesshrink method, sharp features are preserved. However, PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) is considerably low. BLS-GSM generates some discontinuous information during the course of denoising a...
