Noise reduction based on partial reference, dual-tree complex wavelet transform shrinkage
- 1. Noise Reduction Based on Partial-Reference, Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform Shrinkage ABSTRACT: This paper presents a novel way to reduce noise introduced or exacerbated by image enhancement methods, in particular algorithms based on the random spray sampling technique, but not only. According to the nature of sprays, output images of spray-based methods tend to exhibit noise with unknown statistical distribution. To avoid inappropriate assumptions on the statistical characteristics of noise, a different one is made. In fact, the non-enhanced image is considered to be either free of noise or affected by non-perceivable levels of noise. Taking advantage of the higher sensitivity of the human visual system to changes in brightness, the analysis can be limited to the luma channel of both the non-enhanced and enhanced image. Also, given the importance of directional content in human vision, the analysis is performed through the dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DTWCT). Unlike the discrete wavelet transform, the DTWCT allows for distinction of data directionality in the transform space. For each level of the transform, the standard deviation of the non-enhanced image coefficients is computed across the six orientations of the DTWCT, then it is normalized. The result is a map of the directional structures present in the non-enhanced image. Said map is then used to shrink the coefficients of the enhanced image. The shrunk coefficients and the coefficients from the non-enhanced image are then mixed according to data directionality. Finally, a noise-reduced GLOBALSOFT TECHNOLOGIES IEEE PROJECTS & SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENTS IEEE FINAL YEAR PROJECTS|IEEE ENGINEERING PROJECTS|IEEE STUDENTS PROJECTS|IEEE BULK PROJECTS|BE/BTECH/ME/MTECH/MS/MCA PROJECTS|CSE/IT/ECE/EEE PROJECTS CELL: +91 98495 39085, +91 99662 35788, +91 98495 57908, +91 97014 40401 Visit: www.finalyearprojects.org Mail to:[email protected]

EXISTING SYSTEM: Independently of the specific transform used, the general assumption in multi-resolution shrinkage is that image data gives rise to sparse coefficients in the transform space. Thus, denoising can be achieved by compressing (shrinking) those coefficients that compromise data sparsity. Such process is usually improved by an elaborate statistical analysis of the dependencies between coefficients at different scales. Yet, while effective, traditional multi- resolution methods are designed to only remove one particular type of noise (e.g. Gaussian noise). Furthermore, only the input image is assumed to be given. Due to the unknown statistical properties of the noise introduced by the use of sprays, traditional approaches do not find the expected conditions, and thus their action becomes much less effective. DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM: Noise presents in all existing systems. Due to noise presents, the action becomes less effective. PROPOSED SYSTEM: Having a reference allows the shrinkage process to be data-driven. A strong source of inspiration were the works on the Dual-tree Complex Wavelet Transform by Kingsbury, the work on the Steerable Pyramid Transform by Simoncelliet al. and the work on Wavelet Coefficient Shrinkage by Donoho and Johnstone depicts the differences between traditional noise-reduction methods and the one proposed.
- 3. ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM: The main point of novelty is represented by its application in post-processing on the output of an image enhancement method (both the non enhanced image and the enhanced one are required) and the lack of assumptions on the statistical distribution of noise. On the other hand, the non-enhanced image is supposed to be noise-free or affected by non perceivable noise.
