Speckle Noise Reduction of Medical Ultrasound Images using Bayesshrink Wavelet Threshold
نویسنده
چکیده
In diagnosis of diseases Ultrasonic devices are frequently used by healthcare professionals. The main problem during diagnosis is the distortion of visual signals obtained which is due to the consequence of the coherent of nature of the wave transmitted. These distortions are termed as ‘Speckle Noise’. The present study focuses on proposing a technique to reduce speckle noise from ultrasonic devices. This technique uses a hybrid model that combines fourth order PDE based anisotropic diffusion, linked with SRAD filter and wavelet based BayesShrink technique. The proposed filter is compared with traditional filters and existing filters using anisotropic diffusion. Experimental results prove that the proposed method is efficient in reaching convergence quickly and producing quality denoised images.

Speckle Reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images in Wavelet Domain Using Laplace Distribution
Speckle is a granular noise-like phenomenon which appears in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images due to coherent properties of SAR systems. The presence of speckle complicates both human and automatic analysis of SAR images. As a result, speckle reduction is an important preprocessing step for many SAR remote sensing applications. Speckle reduction can be made through multi-looking during the...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are inherently affected by a multiplicative noise-like phenomenon called speckle, which is indeed the nature of all coherent systems. Speckle decreases the performance of almost all the information extraction methods such as classification, segmentation, and change detection, therefore speckle must be suppressed. Despeckling can be applied by the multilooki...
