Adaptive Bayesian Shrinkage Model for Spherical Wavelet Based Denoising and Compression of Hippocampus Shapes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel wavelet-based denoising and compression statistical model for 3D hippocampus shapes. Shapes are encoded using spherical wavelets and the objective is to remove noisy coefficients while keeping significant shape information. To do so, we develop a non-linear wavelet shrinkage model based on a data-driven Bayesian framework. We threshold wavelet coefficients by locally taking into account shape curvature and interscale dependencies between neighboring wavelet coefficients. Our validation shows how this new wavelet shrinkage framework outperforms classical compression and denoising methods for shape representation. We apply our method to the denoising of the left hippocampus from MRI brain data.

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...
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...

Multiresolution video denoising is becoming an increasingly popular research topic over recent years. Although several wavelet based algorithms reportedly outperform classical single-resolution approaches, their concepts are often considered as prohibitive for real-time processing. Little research has been done so far towards hardware customization of wavelet domain video denoising. A number of...
متن کاملAdaptive Probabilistic Wavelet Shrinkage for Image Denoising
We study a Bayesian wavelet shrinkage approach for natural images based on a probability that a given coefficient contains a significant noise-free component, which we call “signal of interest”. First we develop new subband adaptive wavelet shrinkage method of this kind for the generalized Laplacian prior for noise free coefficients. We compare the new shrinkage approach with other subband adap...
متن کاملBayesian wavelet-based image estimation using noninformative priors
The sparseness and decorrelation properties of the discrete wavelet transform have been exploited to develop powerful denoising methods. Most schemes use arbitrary thresholding nonlinearities with ad hoc parameters, or employ computationally expensive adaptive procedures. We overcome these de ciencies with a new wavelet-based denoising technique derived from a simple empirical Bayes approach ba...
