Abstract
—Removing as much noise as possible in an image while preserving its fine details is a complex and challenging task. We propose a wavelet-based and non-local means (NLM) denoising method to overcome the problem. Two well-known wavelets: dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT), have been used to change the noise image into several wavelet coefficients sequentially. NLM filtering and universal hard thresholding with cycle spinning have been used for thresholding on its approximation and detail coefficients, respectively. The inverse two-dimensional DWT was applied to the modified wavelet coefficients to obtain the denoised image. We conducted experiments with twelve test images on the set12 data set, adding the additive Gaussian white noise with variances of 10 to 90 in increments of 10. Three evaluation metrics, such as peak signal noise to rate (PSNR), structural similarity index metric (SSIM), and mean square error (MSE), have been used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed denoising method. From these measurement results, the proposed denoising method outperforms DT-CWT, DWT, and NLM almost in all noise levels except for the noise level of 10. At that noise level, the proposed denoising method is lower than NLM but better than DT-CWT and DWT.
期刊介绍:
IJACSA is a scholarly computer science journal representing the best in research. Its mission is to provide an outlet for quality research to be publicised and published to a global audience. The journal aims to publish papers selected through rigorous double-blind peer review to ensure originality, timeliness, relevance, and readability. In sync with the Journal''s vision "to be a respected publication that publishes peer reviewed research articles, as well as review and survey papers contributed by International community of Authors", we have drawn reviewers and editors from Institutions and Universities across the globe. A double blind peer review process is conducted to ensure that we retain high standards. At IJACSA, we stand strong because we know that global challenges make way for new innovations, new ways and new talent. International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications publishes carefully refereed research, review and survey papers which offer a significant contribution to the computer science literature, and which are of interest to a wide audience. Coverage extends to all main-stream branches of computer science and related applications
