The denoising algorithm is described with some operators. By thresholding the wavelet transform coefficients of noisy images, the original image can be reconstructed correctly. Different threshold selections and thresholding methods are discussed. A new robust local threshold scheme is proposed. Quantifying the performance of image denoising schemes by using the mean square error, the performance of the robust local threshold scheme is demonstrated and is compared with the universal threshold scheme. The experiment shows that image denoising using the robust local threshold performs better than that using the universal threshold.展开更多

The wavelet-based hybrid threshold method may help doctors to know more details on the liver disease through denoising the ultrasound image of the liver. First of all, an analytical expression for the hybrid threshold function is discussed. The wavelet-based hybrid threshold method is then investigated for ultrasound image of the liver. Finally, we test the influence of this parameter on the proposed method with the real ultrasound image corrupted by speckle noise with different variances. Moreover, we compare the proposed method under the varying parameters with the soft-threshold function and the hard-threshold function. Three metrics, which are correlation coefficient, edge preservation index and structural similarity index, are measured to quantify the denoised results of ultrasound liver image. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of the proposed method for ultrasound liver image denosing.展开更多

A new wavelet denoising method is introduced for flight flutter testing data, which can improve the estimation of frequency domain identification algorithms. In this method, the testing data is first preprocessed with a gradient inverse weighted filter to initially lower the noise. The redundant wavelet transform is then used to decompose the signal into several levels. A “clean” input is recovered from the noisy data by level dependent thresholding approach, and the noise of output is reduced by a modified spatially selective noise filtration technique. The advantage of the wavelet denoising is illustrated by means of simulated and real data.展开更多

One is the difficulty of threshold selection, and the other is the inconsistence of the dip and curved events in the low signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） seismic data after denoising. In image denoising, multistage median filtering can preserve the details of the signal. So we proposed a denoising algorithm in wavelet transform domain based on multistage median filtering. Using this method the flat region and the edge region are differentiated by the difference between the maximum mid-value and the minimum mid-value, which preserves the details, thus improves the denoising effect. The simulation data and the real data processing results reveal that this method has stronger ability in separating signal from noise than that of the threshold denoising method.展开更多

Methods Image fusion technology was applied to biological cell imaging processing. It could match the images and improve the confidence and spatial resolution of the images. Using two algorithms, double thresholds algorithm and denoising algorithm based on wavelet transform,the fluorescence image and transmission image of a Cell were merged into a composite image. Results and Conclusion The position of fluorescence and the structure of cell can be displyed in the composite image. The signal-to-noise ratio of the exultant image is improved to a large extent. The algorithms are not only useful to investigate the fluorescence and transmission images, but also suitable to observing two or more fluoascent label proes in a single cell.展开更多
