Image Denoising in The Wavelet Domain Using Wiener Filtering

This document presents a method for image denoising using Wiener filtering in the wavelet domain. It models an image as the sum of the original image and white Gaussian noise. It applies a 3-step process: 1) wavelet transform the noisy image, 2) Wiener filter the wavelet coefficients to reduce noise, 3) inverse wavelet transform to obtain the denoised image. Simulation results show the wavelet domain Wiener filter outperforms thresholding methods and Fourier domain Wiener filtering according to mean squared error. The document concludes Wiener filtering in the wavelet domain is effective but leaves room for improved edge preservation and quantitative evaluation.
