Abstract : A new algorithm for noise filtering, based on non-linear processing of image in blocks, using singular value decomposition (SVD) is presented in this paper. Noise filtering is performed in the domain of singular values and singular vectors. A priori noise variance knowledge is not required, because a singular value-based noise variance estimation is performed in the first phase of th...

other fields. However, the spectral properties of the Laplace Transform tend to complicate its numerical treatment; therefore, the closely related “Truncated” Laplace Transforms are often used in applications. We have constructed efficient algorithms for the evaluation of the left singular functions and singular values of the Truncated Laplace Transform. Together with the previously introduced ...
