A Multivariate Thresholding Technique for Image Denoising Using Multiwavelets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiwavelets, wavelets with several scaling functions, offer simultaneous orthogonality, symmetry, and short support, which is not possible with ordinary (scalar) wavelets. These properties make multiwavelets promising for signal processing applications, such as image denoising. The common approach for image denoising is to get the multiwavelet decomposition of a noisy image and apply a common threshold to each coefficient separately. This approach does not generally give sufficient performance. In this paper, we propose a multivariate thresholding technique for image denoising with multiwavelets. The proposed technique is based on the idea of restoring the spatial dependence of the pixels of the noisy image that has undergone a multiwavelet decomposition. Coefficients with high correlation are regarded as elements of a vector and are subject to a common thresholding operation. Simulations with several multiwavelets illustrate that the proposed technique results in a better performance.

Interpolating Scaling Vectors: Application to Signal and Image Denoising
Interpolating scaling vectors and multiwavelets are particularly attractive for application purposes, because they provide a natural preprocessing procedure. This paper is concerned with the application of the interpolating orthonormal scaling vectors constructed in [10] to signal and image denoising. The results of several wavelets and multiwavelets for both universal and vector thresholding a...
متن کاملApplications of multiwavelet techniques to image denoising
The developments in wavelet theory have given rise to the wavelet thresholding method, for extracting a signal from noisy data [1,2]. Multiwavelets, wavelets with several scaling functions, have recently been introduced and they offer simultaneous orthogonality, symmetry and short support; which is not possible with ordinary wavelets, also called scalar wavelets [3]. This property makes multiwa...
متن کاملSignal and Image Denoising via Wavelet Thresholding
{ In this paper we discuss wavelet thresholding in the context of scalar orthogonal, scalar biorthogonal, multiple orthogonal and multiple biorthogonal wavelet transforms. Two types of multiwavelet thresholding are considered: scalar and vector. Both of them take into account the covariance structure of the transform. The form of the universal threshold is carefully formulated. The results of n...
متن کاملTranslation-invariant denoising using multiwavelets
Translation invariant (TI) single wavelet de-noising was developed by Coifman and Donoho and they show that TI is better than non-TI single wavelet de-noising. On the other hand, Strela et al. have found that non-TI multiwavelet de-noising gives better results than non-TI single wavelets. In this paper we extend Coifman and Donoho's TI single wavelet de-noising scheme to multiwavelets. Experime...
متن کاملA Robust Image Denoising Technique in the Contourlet Transform Domain
The contourlet transform has the benefit of efficiently capturing the oriented geometrical structures of images. In this paper, by incorporating the ideas of Stein’s Unbiased Risk Estimator (SURE) approach in Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) domain, a new image denoising technique is devised. We utilize the characteristics of NSCT coefficients in high and low subbands and apply SURE sh...
