This study proposes an image denoising algorithm based on sparse representation and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The proposed algorithm includes the following steps. First, the noisy image is divided into overlapped [Formula: see text] blocks. Second, the discrete cosine transform is applied as a dictionary for the sparse representation of the vectors created by the overlapped blocks. To calculate the sparse vector, the orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm is used. Then, the dictionary is updated by means of the PCA algorithm to achieve the sparsest representation of vectors. Since the signal energy, unlike the noise energy, is concentrated on a small dataset by transforming into the PCA domain, the signal and noise can be well distinguished. The proposed algorithm was implemented in a MATLAB environment and its performance was evaluated on some standard grayscale images under different levels of standard deviations of white Gaussian noise by means of peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity indexes, and visual effects. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed denoising algorithm achieves significant improvement compared to dual-tree complex discrete wavelet transform and K-singular value decomposition image denoising methods. It also obtains competitive results with the block-matching and 3D filtering method, which is the current state-of-the-art for image denoising.

Noise is a random variation in brightness and color in image or simply we can say that unwanted signals are called noise. The noise is mixed with original signal and cause may troubles. Due to the presence of noise, quality of image is reduced and other features like edge sharpness and pattern recognition are badly affected. In image denoising methods to improve the results a hybrid filter is used for better visualization. The hybrid filter is composed with the combination of three filters connected in series. The hybridization has performed much better in case of salt and pepper type of noise and for most of the medical image type, either MRI, CT, SPECT, Ultra Sound. PSNR values show major improvement in comparison of other existing methods. Future, the results obtained from the presented denoising experiments would be tried to be improved further by using this method with other transform domain methods. Finally, the results are concluded that the proposed approach in terms of PSNR, MSE improvement is outperformed.

Digital images are often corrupted by contaminated display and information quality noise. Images can be corrupted at any stage during which they are acquired and transmitted through the media. Image denoising is a basic function designed to eliminate noise from naturally corrupted images. This work proposes a fixed-point discrete wavelet transform (DWT) architecture that uses a nonlinearly modified pixel-like weighted frame (PLWF) technique to denoise the highthroughput of adaptive white Gaussian white noise (AWGN) images. The linearized state to be based on the neighboring pixel unity is that the state model noise is used to improve the peak signal to the sound rate (PSNR). The proposed architecture is employed in two different stages - consistent and conditional sorting output selection unit. The detailed result of the proposed architecture shows the size and display quality of any state-ofthe-art performance and some recently introduced work. For further evaluation of the denoising capability, the algorithm is compared to some state-of-the-art algorithms and experimental results on simulated sound images and captured images of lowlight noise especially large image processes Low noise light picked up by the test results. The performance of the proposed method is compared to wavelet thresholds, bilateral filters, nonlocal averaging filters, and bilateral multi-resolution filters. The study found that the draft production plan is smaller than the wavelet threshold, the bilateral filter, and the non-local means of filtering and larger superior/similar to the method, visual quality, PSNR and image index noise bilateral multi-resolution filter quality

This paper is a comparative study of image denoising using previously known wavelet transform and new type of wavelet transform, namely, Diversity enhanced discrete wavelet transform. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) has two parameters: the mother wavelet and the number of iterations. For every noisy image, there is a best pair of parameters for which we get maximum output Peak Signal to Noise Ratio, PSNR. As the denoising algorithms are sensitive to the parameters of the wavelet transform used, in this paper comparison of DEDWT to DWT has been presented. The diversity is enhanced by computing wavelet transforms with different parameters. After the filtering of each detail coefficient, the corresponding wavelet transforms are inverted and the estimated image, having a higher PSNR, is extracted. To benchmark against the best possible denoising method three thresholding techniques have been compared. In this paper we have presented a more practical, implementation oriented work.
