Marine Engineering faces certain challenges in recent times due to the prevalence of ambient conditions caused by imbalance in the ecosystem. Underwater ambient noise is primarily a background noise, which is a function of time, location and depth. It is of prime importance to detect the signals such as the sound of a submarine or an echo from a target, surpassing and surmounting this ambient n...

The behavior and performance of denoising algorithms are governed by one or several parameters, whose optimal settings depend on the content of the processed image and the characteristics of the noise, and are generally designed to minimize the mean squared error (MSE) between the denoised image returned by the algorithm and a virtual ground truth. In this paper, we introduce a new Poisson-Gaus...

The main challenge in digital image processing is to remove noise from the original image. This paper reviews the existing denoising algorithms and performs their comparative study. Different noise models including additive and multiplicative types are discussed in the paper.Selection of the denoising algorithm is application dependent. Hence, it is necessary to have knowledge about the noise p...

This frame work describes a computationally more efficient and adaptive threshold estimation method for image denoising in the wavelet domain based on Generalized Gaussian Distribution (GGD) modeling of subband coefficients. In this proposed method, the choice of the threshold estimation is carried out by analysing the statistical parameters of the wavelet subband coefficients like standard dev...

This paper proposes different approaches of wavelet based image denoising methods. The search for efficient image denoising methods is still a valid challenge at the crossing of functional analysis and statistics. In spite of the sophistication of the recently proposed methods, most algorithms have not yet attained a desirable level of applicability. Wavelet algorithms are useful tool for signa...

In this paper, we propose a new video denoising algorithm which uses an efficient wavelet based spatio-temporal filter. The filter first applies 2D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) in horizontal and vertical directions on an input noisy video frame and then applies 1-D discrete cosine transform (DCT) in the temporal direction in order to reduce the redundancies which exist among the wavelet coe...
