BayWave: BAYesian WAVElet-based Image Estimation

چکیده
— 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 implement a simple Bayesian theory to obtain optimal threshold for such algorithms. MATLAB simulations were performed to validate the working of Bayesian thresholding method.

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...

In the process of exploring and recognizing of statistical communities, the analysis of data obtained from these communities is considered essential. One of appropriate methods for data analysis is the structural study of the function fitting by these data. Wavelet transformation is one of the most powerful tool in analysis of these functions and structure of wavelet coefficients are very impor...
متن کاملWavelet-based image estimation: an empirical Bayes approach using Jeffrey's noninformative prior
The sparseness and decorrelation properties of the discrete wavelet transform have been exploited to develop powerful denoising methods. However, most of these methods have free parameters which have to be adjusted or estimated. In this paper, we propose a wavelet-based denoising technique without any free parameters; it is, in this sense, a "universal" method. Our approach uses empirical Bayes...
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...
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...
