Due to the influence of equipment instability and surveying environment, scattering echoes and other factors, it is sometimes difficult to obtain high-quality sub-bottom profile (SBP) images by traditional denoising methods. In this paper, a novel SBP image denoising method is developed for obtaining underlying clean images based on a non-local low-rank framework. Firstly, to take advantage of the inherent layering structures of the SBP image, a direction image is obtained and used as a guidance image. Secondly, the robust guidance weight for accurately selecting the similar patches is given. A novel denoising method combining the weight and a non-local low-rank filtering framework is proposed. Thirdly, after discussing the filtering parameter settings, the proposed method is tested in actual measurements of sub-bottom, both in deep water and shallow water. Experimental results validate the excellent performance of the proposed method. Finally, the proposed method is verified and compared with other methods quantificationally based on the synthetic images and has achieved the total average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of 21.77 and structural similarity index (SSIM) of 0.573, which is far better than other methods.

Abstract In this paper we propose a new approach for image denoising based on the combination of PM model, isotropic diffusion model, and TV model. To emphasize the superiority of the proposed model, we have used the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) as the subjective criterion. Numerical experiments with different images show that our algorithm has the highest PSNR and SS1M, as well as the best visual quality among the six algorithms. Experimental results confirm the high performance of the proposed model compared with some well-known algorithms. In a word, the new model outperforms the mentioned three well known algorithms in reducing the Gibbs-type artifacts, edges blurring, and the block effect, simultaneously.

In real time applications, image denoising is a predominant task. This task makes adequate preparation for images looks prominent. But there are several denoising algorithms and every algorithm has its own distinctive attribute based upon different natural images. In this paper, we proposed a perspective that is modified parameter in S-Gradient Histogram Preservation denoising method. S-Gradient Histogram Preservation is a method to compute the structure gradient histogram from the noisy observation by taking different noise standard deviations of different images. The performance of this method is enumerated in terms of peak signal to noise ratio and structural similarity index of a particular image. In this paper, mainly focus on peak signal to noise ratio, structural similarity index, noise estimation and a measure of structure gradient histogram of a given image.

Abstract Image denoising is essential to extract the information contained in an image without errors. A technique of using both wavelets and evolutionary computing tools is proposed to denoise and to improve the image quality. An adaptive thresholding-based wavelet denoising technique in the threshold function is coordinated by novel social group optimization (SGO) and accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO) is proposed. The simulation oriented experimentation is taken out employing MATLAB and the analysis is carried out using the image property metrics similar to peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE) and other structural similarity index metrics (SSIM).

DVB merupakan standar transmisi televisi digital yang paling banyak digunakan saat ini. Unsur terpenting dari suatu proses transmisi adalah kualitas gambar dari video yang diterima setelah melalui proses transimisi tersebut. Banyak faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi kualitas dari suatu gambar, salah satunya adalah struktur frame dari video. Pada tulisan ini dilakukan pengujian sensitifitas video MPEG-4 berdasarkan struktur frame pada transmisi DVB-T. Pengujian dilakukan menggunakan simulasi matlab dan simulink. Digunakan juga ffmpeg untuk menyediakan format dan pengaturan video akan disimulasikan. Variabel yang diubah dari video adalah bitrate dan juga group-of-pictures (GOP), sedangkan variabel yang diubah dari transmisi DVB-T adalah signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) pada kanal AWGN di antara pengirim (Tx) dan penerima (Rx). Hasil yang diperoleh dari percobaan berupa kualitas rata-rata gambar pada video yang diukur menggunakan metode pengukuran structural-similarity-index (SSIM). Dilakukan juga pengukuran terhadap jumlah bit-error-rate BER pada bitstream DVB-T. Percobaan yang dilakukan dapat menunjukkan seberapa besar sensitifitas bitrate dan GOP dari video pada transmisi DVB-T dengan kesimpulan semakin besar bitrate maka akan semakin buruk nilai kualitas gambarnya, dan semakin kecil nilai GOP maka akan semakin baik nilai kualitasnya. Penilitian diharapkan dapat dikembangkan menggunakan deep learning untuk memperoleh frame struktur yang tepat di kondisi-kondisi tertentu dalam proses transmisi televisi digital.

Aimed at the problem that the traditional image denoising algorithm is not effective in noise reduction, a new image denoising method is proposed. The method combines deep learning and non-local mean filtering algorithms to denoise the noisy image to obtain better noise reduction effect. By comparing with Gaussian filtering algorithm, median filtering algorithm, bilateral filtering algorithm and early non-local mean filtering algorithm, the noise reduction effect of the new algorithm is better than the traditional method and the peak signal to noise ratio is compared with the early non-local mean algorithm. The performance is better.

The locust slice images have all the features such as strong self-similarity, piecewise smoothness and nonlinear texture structure. Multi-scale interpolation operator is an effective tool to describe such structures, but it cannot overcome the influence of noise on images. Therefore, this research designed the Shannon–Cosine wavelet which possesses all the excellent properties such as interpolation, smoothness, compact support and normalization, then constructing multi-scale wavelet interpolative operator, the operator can be applied to decompose and reconstruct the images adaptively. Combining the operator with the local filter operator (mean and median), a multi-scale Shannon–Cosine wavelet denoising algorithm based on cell filtering is constructed in this research. The algorithm overcomes the disadvantages of multi-scale interpolation wavelet, which is only suitable for describing smooth signals, and realizes multi-scale noise reduction of locust slice images. The experimental results show that the proposed method can keep all kinds of texture structures in the slice image of locust. In the experiments, the locust slice images with mixture noise of Gaussian and salt–pepper are taken as examples to compare the performances of the proposed method and other typical denoising methods. The experimental results show that the Peak Signal-To-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of the denoised images obtained by the proposed method is greater 27.3%, 24.6%, 2.94%, 22.9% than Weiner filter, wavelet transform method, median and average filtering, respectively; and the Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) for measuring image quality is greater 31.1%, 31.3%, 15.5%, 10.2% than other four methods, respectively. As the variance of Gaussian white noise increases from 0.02 to 0.1, the values of PSNR and SSIM obtained by the proposed method only decrease by 11.94% and 13.33%, respectively, which are much less than other 4 methods. This shows that the proposed method possesses stronger adaptability.

To overcome the “staircase effect” while preserving the structural information such as image edges and textures quickly and effectively, we propose a compensating total variation image denoising model combining L1 and L2 norm. A new compensating regular term is designed, which can perform anisotropic and isotropic diffusion in image denoising, thus making up for insufficient diffusion in the total variation model. The algorithm first uses local standard deviation to distinguish neighborhood types. Then, the anisotropic diffusion based on L1 norm plays the role of edge protection in the strong edge region. The anisotropic and the isotropic diffusion simultaneously exist in the smooth region, so that the weak textures can be protected while overcoming the “staircase effect” effectively. The simulation experiments show that this method can effectively improve the peak signal-to-noise ratio and obtain the higher structural similarity index and the shorter running time.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of teeth plays an important role in the operation of living dental implants. However, the tissue around teeth and the noise generated in the process of image acquisition bring a serious impact on the reconstruction results, which must be reduced or eliminated. Combined with the advantages of wavelet transform and bilateral filtering, this paper proposes an image denoising method based on the above methods. The method proposed in this paper not only removes the noise but also preserves the image edge details. The noise in high frequency subbands is denoised using a locally adaptive thresholding and the noise in low frequency subbands is filtered by the bilateral filtering. Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index measure (SSIM) and 3D reconstruction using the iso-surface extraction method are used to evaluate the denoising effect. The experimental results show that the proposed method is better than the wavelet denoising and bilateral filtering, and the reconstruction results meet the requirements of clinical diagnosis.

The use of local fractional calculus has increased in different applications of image processing. This study proposes a new algorithm for image denoising to remove Gaussian noise in digital images. The proposed algorithm is based on local fractional integral of Chebyshev polynomials. The proposed structures of the local fractional windows are obtained by four masks created for x and y directions. On four directions, a convolution product of the input image pixels with the local fractional mask window has been performed. The visual perception and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) with the structural similarity index (SSIM) are used as image quality measurements. The experiments proved that the accomplished filtering results are better than the Gaussian filter. Keywords: local fractional; Chebyshev polynomials; Image denoising
