A method based on Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT) was proposed for enhancing the images. By taking into account the non-Gaussian probability distribution and the statistical dependencies among wavelet coefficients of some signals, and by taking advantage of near shift-invariance of DT-CWT, it can obtain higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) than common wavelet denoising methods. The simulation results show that the proposed method is better than the traditional methods. It has a good enhancement performance which can improve the details of the image automatically.
