In all the instances of image acquisition, transmission and storage, the unwanted noise gets into the information content of the image and thereby introduces an unpleasant visual quality to the observer. So the field of image processing has produced a lot of image denoising algorithms and techniques to improve the visual quality of the image. Since noise cannot be reduced to zero practically, the need for faithful and efficient denoising techniques to produce almost noiseless images demands a systematic research work in the field of denoising methods. The denoising process using a bilateral filter even though produces improvement in the image quality, it does not show consistency when the noise level is high and also the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and Image quality Index (IQI) do not show any improvement. This paper proposes an improved algorithm that incorporates the function of bilateral filter model and wavelet thresholding using Neighshrink SURE method. The results show significant improvement in both PSNR and IQI values with respect to the four standard test images under various noise conditions.

Image denoising, being an important preprocessing stage in image processing, minimizes the noise interfering with the information content of the image. The denoising problems are addressed by various techniques starting from the Fourier transforms to wavelets. Because of the localized time frequency features and advantages of multi resolution capabilities, the wavelets have been extensively used in the denoising process. The development of algorithms for the wavelet thresholding or shrinkage strategies along with different filters have resulted in the betterment of image quality after the denoising. Even though the image denoising algorithm based on a combination of Gaussian and Bilateral filters, shows good performance but lacks in consistency with respect to the noise levels and also the type of images used. This paper discusses the advantages of NeighShrink SURE rule in developing an effective thresholding strategy, thereby proposing a improved denoising method incorporating the NeighShrink SURE rule along with combination of Gaussian filter model. The methodology employs the use of subband thresholding derived from the NeighShrink SURE rule. The outcome of the proposed method exhibits a comparatively improved performance in Peak Signal to Ratio (PSNR) and Image Quality Index (IQI) values of the test images.

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.

We propose a video denoising method based on a spatiotemporal Kalman-bilateral mixture model to reduce the noise in video sequences that are captured with low light. To take full advantage of the strong spatiotemporal correlations of neighboring frames, motion estimation is first performed on video frames consisting of previously denoised frames and the current noisy frame by using block-matching method. Then, current noisy frame is processed in temporal domain and spatial domain by using Kalman filter and bilateral filter, respectively. Finally, by weighting the denoised frames from Kalman filtering and bilateral filtering, we can obtain a satisfactory result. Experimental results show that the performance of our proposed method is competitive when compared with state-of-the-art video denoising algorithms based on both peak signal-to-noise-ratio and structural similarity evaluations.

Boosting Algorithm

Image denoising is an important problem in many fields of image processing. Boosting algorithm attracts extensive attention in recent years, which provides a general framework by strengthening the original noisy image. In such framework, many classical existing denoising algorithms can improve the denoising performance. However, the boosting step is fixed or nonadaptive; i.e., the noise level in iteration steps is set to be a constant. In this work, we propose a noise level estimation algorithm by combining the overestimation and underestimation results. Based on this, we further propose an adaptive boosting algorithm that excludes intricate parameter configuration. Moreover, we prove the convergence of the proposed algorithm. Experimental results that are obtained in this paper demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive boosting algorithm. In addition, compared with the classical boosting algorithm, the proposed algorithm can get better performance in terms of visual quality and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR).

In this paper, Gaussian smoothing (GS), non-local means (NLM), and Quaternion Wavelet Transform (QWT) have been described in detail. Furthermore, a Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) experimental system was built to verify the denoising algorithms. The principal and experimental analyses show that the QWT algorithm is a more efficient image denoising method. The results indicate that the GS algorithm can obtain the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), frequency uncertainty, and Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) accuracy, and can be executed in an imperceptible time, but the GS algorithm has the lowest spatial resolution. After being denoised by using NLM algorithm, although SNR, frequency uncertainty, BFS accuracy, and spatial resolution significantly improved, it takes 40 min to implement the NLM denoising algorithm for a BGS image with 200 × 100,000 points. Processed by the QWT denoising algorithm, although SNR increases to 17.26 dB and frequency uncertainty decreases to 0.24 MHz, a BFS accuracy of only 0.2 MHz can be achieved. Moreover, the spatial resolution is 3 m, which is not affected by the QWT denoising algorithm. It takes less than 32 s to denoise the same raw BGS data. The QWT image denoising technique is suitable for BGS data processing in the BOTDA sensor system.

AbstractTo minimize radiation risk, dose reduction is important in the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of computed tomography (CT). However, image noise degrades image quality owing to the reduced X-ray dose and a possible unacceptably reduced diagnostic performance. Deep learning approaches with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been proposed for natural image denoising; however, these approaches might introduce image blurring or loss of original gradients. The aim of this study was to compare the dose-dependent properties of a CNN-based denoising method for low-dose CT with those of other noise-reduction methods on unique CT noise-simulation images. To simulate a low-dose CT image, a Poisson noise distribution was introduced to normal-dose images while convoluting the CT unit-specific modulation transfer function. An abdominal CT of 100 images obtained from a public database was adopted, and simulated dose-reduction images were created from the original dose at equal 10-step dose-reduction intervals with a final dose of 1/100. These images were denoised using the denoising network structure of CNN (DnCNN) as the general CNN model and for transfer learning. To evaluate the image quality, image similarities determined by the structural similarity index (SSIM) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) were calculated for the denoised images. Significantly better denoising, in terms of SSIM and PSNR, was achieved by the DnCNN than by other image denoising methods, especially at the ultra-low-dose levels used to generate the 10% and 5% dose-equivalent images. Moreover, the developed CNN model can eliminate noise and maintain image sharpness at these dose levels and improve SSIM by approximately 10% from that of the original method. In contrast, under small dose-reduction conditions, this model also led to excessive smoothing of the images. In quantitative evaluations, the CNN denoising method improved the low-dose CT and prevented over-smoothing by tailoring the CNN model.

In this paper, a novel denoising method based on wavelet, extended adaptive Wiener filter and the bilateral filter is proposed for digital images. Production of mode is accomplished by the genetic algorithm. The proposed extended adaptive Wiener filter has been developed from the adaptive Wiener filter. First, the genetic algorithm suggest some hybrid models. The attributes of images, including peak signal to noise ratio, signal to noise ratio and image quality assessment are studied. Then, in order to evaluate the model, the values of attributes are sent to the Fuzzy deduction system. Simulations and evaluations mentioned in this paper are accomplished on some standard images such as Lena, boy, fruit, mandrill, Barbara, butterfly, and boat. Next, weaker models are omitted by studying of the various models. Establishment of new generations performs in a form that a generation emendation is carried out, and final model has a more optimum quality compared to each two filters in order to obviate the noise. At the end, the results of this system are studied so that a comprehensive model with the best performance is to be found. Experiments show that the proposed method has better performance than wavelet, bilateral, Butterworth, and some other filters.
