Some more approaches

Method Noise (Noisy Image ndash Denoised Image)

The residual image (also called ldquomethod noiserdquo) ndash defined as the difference

between the noisy image and the denoised image ndash should look like (and

have all the properties of) a pure noise image

A denoising algorithm should transform a pure noise image into another

noise image (of lower variance)

A competent denoising algorithm should find for any pixel lsquoirsquo all and

only those pixels lsquojrsquo that have the same model as lsquoirsquo (ie those pixels

whose intensity would have most likely been the same as that of lsquoirsquo if

there were no noise)

Anisotropic Diffusion [Perona-Malik diffusion]

Anisotropic Diffusion is a technique aiming at reducing image

noise without removing significant parts of the image content

typically edges lines or other details that are important for the

interpretation of the image

Here g() is an edge stopping function (Decreasing function of

gradient magnitude) which is chosen such that the diffusion is

stopped across edges

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

23

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Then the noisy image is computed as

Some more approaches

Method Noise (Noisy Image ndash Denoised Image)

The residual image (also called ldquomethod noiserdquo) ndash defined as the difference

between the noisy image and the denoised image ndash should look like (and

have all the properties of) a pure noise image

A denoising algorithm should transform a pure noise image into another

noise image (of lower variance)

A competent denoising algorithm should find for any pixel lsquoirsquo all and

only those pixels lsquojrsquo that have the same model as lsquoirsquo (ie those pixels

whose intensity would have most likely been the same as that of lsquoirsquo if

there were no noise)

Anisotropic Diffusion [Perona-Malik diffusion]

Anisotropic Diffusion is a technique aiming at reducing image

noise without removing significant parts of the image content

typically edges lines or other details that are important for the

interpretation of the image

Here g() is an edge stopping function (Decreasing function of

gradient magnitude) which is chosen such that the diffusion is

stopped across edges

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

similar patches to the reference patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Some more approaches

Method Noise (Noisy Image ndash Denoised Image)

The residual image (also called ldquomethod noiserdquo) ndash defined as the difference

between the noisy image and the denoised image ndash should look like (and

have all the properties of) a pure noise image

A denoising algorithm should transform a pure noise image into another

noise image (of lower variance)

A competent denoising algorithm should find for any pixel lsquoirsquo all and

only those pixels lsquojrsquo that have the same model as lsquoirsquo (ie those pixels

whose intensity would have most likely been the same as that of lsquoirsquo if

there were no noise)

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Optimize each threshold

Entropy Criteria

Binarize the image wrt

Combine assigned symbols

for each pixel

Classify all binary string

and there by pixels

23

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Variants of NLM Method Rotationally Invariant Block Matching (RIBM) (Zimmer et al 2008)

Estimate the angle of rotation between blocks

To each pixel in the first block find the position of the

corresponding pixel in the second block by rotating its

vector by estimated angle

Moment Invariant based Measure (Zimmer et al 2011)

Grewenig et al used Zernike Moments as features of each block and used it in block matching to

classical framework of NL Means method

SSIM based NLM method (Rahman et al 2011)

Patches are compared using SSIM measure (As discussed earlier)

It provides an inherent advantage of comparing structurally similar patches

Combination of NL Principle and

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Similar patches xis are grouped together in the data matrix

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

M-step Update the Gaussian parameters using the information obtained in the previous

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

bull Observation of these coefficients

suggests that they are not randomly

distributed and their location uncertainty is

related to non-local self similarity of the

image which implies the possibility of

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Some more approaches

Method Noise (Noisy Image ndash Denoised Image)

The residual image (also called ldquomethod noiserdquo) ndash defined as the difference

between the noisy image and the denoised image ndash should look like (and

have all the properties of) a pure noise image

A denoising algorithm should transform a pure noise image into another

noise image (of lower variance)

A competent denoising algorithm should find for any pixel lsquoirsquo all and

only those pixels lsquojrsquo that have the same model as lsquoirsquo (ie those pixels

whose intensity would have most likely been the same as that of lsquoirsquo if

there were no noise)

Anisotropic Diffusion is a technique aiming at reducing image

noise without removing significant parts of the image content

typically edges lines or other details that are important for the

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Then the noisy image is computed as

The convention of 3 Rician noise defines the Gaussian noise used in complex domain

is equivalent to N(0υ(3100)) where υ is the value of the brightest tissue in the image

For a same level of noise the Rician noise is stronger than the Gaussian noise

Some more approaches

Method Noise (Noisy Image ndash Denoised Image)

The residual image (also called ldquomethod noiserdquo) ndash defined as the difference

between the noisy image and the denoised image ndash should look like (and

have all the properties of) a pure noise image

A denoising algorithm should transform a pure noise image into another

noise image (of lower variance)

A competent denoising algorithm should find for any pixel lsquoirsquo all and

only those pixels lsquojrsquo that have the same model as lsquoirsquo (ie those pixels

whose intensity would have most likely been the same as that of lsquoirsquo if

there were no noise)

Anisotropic Diffusion [Perona-Malik diffusion]

Anisotropic Diffusion is a technique aiming at reducing image

noise without removing significant parts of the image content

typically edges lines or other details that are important for the

interpretation of the image

Here g() is an edge stopping function (Decreasing function of

gradient magnitude) which is chosen such that the diffusion is

stopped across edges

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Class Information

Find Threshold from noisy

image histogram

Optimize each threshold

separately using Rough

Entropy Criteria

Binarize the image wrt

each optimized thresholds

Combine assigned symbols

as binary string of length K

for each pixel

Classify all binary string

and there by pixels

Figure 2 (a) Flow chart (b) Code and Class assignment for

different number of thresholds Here K is number of thresholds

23

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

The noisy image is analyzed in a moving window fashion Each

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

noise level

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

patch

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Some more approaches

Method Noise (Noisy Image ndash Denoised Image)

The residual image (also called ldquomethod noiserdquo) ndash defined as the difference

between the noisy image and the denoised image ndash should look like (and

have all the properties of) a pure noise image

A denoising algorithm should transform a pure noise image into another

noise image (of lower variance)

A competent denoising algorithm should find for any pixel lsquoirsquo all and

only those pixels lsquojrsquo that have the same model as lsquoirsquo (ie those pixels

whose intensity would have most likely been the same as that of lsquoirsquo if

there were no noise)

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

are known

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Then the noisy image is computed as

Some more approaches

Method Noise (Noisy Image ndash Denoised Image)

The residual image (also called ldquomethod noiserdquo) ndash defined as the difference

between the noisy image and the denoised image ndash should look like (and

have all the properties of) a pure noise image

A denoising algorithm should transform a pure noise image into another

noise image (of lower variance)

A competent denoising algorithm should find for any pixel lsquoirsquo all and

only those pixels lsquojrsquo that have the same model as lsquoirsquo (ie those pixels

whose intensity would have most likely been the same as that of lsquoirsquo if

there were no noise)

Anisotropic Diffusion [Perona-Malik diffusion]

Anisotropic Diffusion is a technique aiming at reducing image

noise without removing significant parts of the image content

typically edges lines or other details that are important for the

interpretation of the image

Here g() is an edge stopping function (Decreasing function of

gradient magnitude) which is chosen such that the diffusion is

stopped across edges

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

The noisy image is analyzed in a moving window fashion Each

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Anisotropic Diffusion [Perona-Malik diffusion]

Anisotropic Diffusion is a technique aiming at reducing image

noise without removing significant parts of the image content

typically edges lines or other details that are important for the

interpretation of the image

Here g() is an edge stopping function (Decreasing function of

gradient magnitude) which is chosen such that the diffusion is

stopped across edges

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Then the noisy image is computed as

Anisotropic Diffusion [Perona-Malik diffusion]

Anisotropic Diffusion is a technique aiming at reducing image

noise without removing significant parts of the image content

typically edges lines or other details that are important for the

interpretation of the image

Here g() is an edge stopping function (Decreasing function of

gradient magnitude) which is chosen such that the diffusion is

stopped across edges

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Class Information

Find Threshold from noisy

image histogram

Optimize each threshold

separately using Rough

Entropy Criteria

Binarize the image wrt

each optimized thresholds

Combine assigned symbols

as binary string of length K

for each pixel

Classify all binary string

and there by pixels

Figure 2 (a) Flow chart (b) Code and Class assignment for

different number of thresholds Here K is number of thresholds

23

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

The noisy image is analyzed in a moving window fashion Each

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

noise level

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

suggests that they are not randomly

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Anisotropic Diffusion [Perona-Malik diffusion]

Anisotropic Diffusion is a technique aiming at reducing image

noise without removing significant parts of the image content

typically edges lines or other details that are important for the

interpretation of the image

Here g() is an edge stopping function (Decreasing function of

gradient magnitude) which is chosen such that the diffusion is

stopped across edges

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

Anisotropic Diffusion [Perona-Malik diffusion]

Anisotropic Diffusion is a technique aiming at reducing image

noise without removing significant parts of the image content

typically edges lines or other details that are important for the

interpretation of the image

Here g() is an edge stopping function (Decreasing function of

gradient magnitude) which is chosen such that the diffusion is

stopped across edges

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Optimize each threshold

Entropy Criteria

Binarize the image wrt

each optimized thresholds

Combine assigned symbols

for each pixel

Classify all binary string

and there by pixels

different number of thresholds Here K is number of thresholds

23

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

The noisy image is analyzed in a moving window fashion Each

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Similar patches xis are grouped together in the data matrix

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

suggests that they are not randomly

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Anisotropic Diffusion [Perona-Malik diffusion]

Anisotropic Diffusion is a technique aiming at reducing image

noise without removing significant parts of the image content

typically edges lines or other details that are important for the

interpretation of the image

Here g() is an edge stopping function (Decreasing function of

gradient magnitude) which is chosen such that the diffusion is

stopped across edges

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

similar patches to the reference patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

23

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Then the noisy image is computed as

The convention of 3 Rician noise defines the Gaussian noise used in complex domain

is equivalent to N(0υ(3100)) where υ is the value of the brightest tissue in the image

For a same level of noise the Rician noise is stronger than the Gaussian noise

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Class Information

Find Threshold from noisy

image histogram

Optimize each threshold

separately using Rough

Entropy Criteria

Binarize the image wrt

each optimized thresholds

Combine assigned symbols

as binary string of length K

for each pixel

Classify all binary string

and there by pixels

Figure 2 (a) Flow chart (b) Code and Class assignment for

different number of thresholds Here K is number of thresholds

23

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

The noisy image is analyzed in a moving window fashion Each

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Various methods for modifying the coefficients

Noisy coefficients Iηβ (α) are modified to a(α) Iηβ (α) 0 le a(α) le1

Some of the ways of finding a(α) are

Weiner Filter Update

Note ndash these thresholding rules cannot be applied in the spatial domain directly as neighboring pixels values are strongly correlated

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

noise level

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

suggests that they are not randomly

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

23

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

23

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Entropy Criteria

Binarize the image wrt

Combine assigned symbols

for each pixel

Classify all binary string

and there by pixels

23

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

The noisy image is analyzed in a moving window fashion Each

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

suggests that they are not randomly

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Then the noisy image is computed as

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

The noisy image is analyzed in a moving window fashion Each

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rough Set based Trilateral like Filter

The goal is to assign a class label to each pixel of the image

Rough set is used to capture impreciseness present due to noise

The concept of Rough Set based binarization (two class problem) is utilized successively

As an initial step approximate thresholds (valleys in the histogram) are obtained

In the next step the approximate thresholds are optimized separately using Rough

Entropy measure

The image under consideration is binarized for each threshold and a pixel is given a

symbol either 0 or 1 for each threshold

Thus a pixel will get K such symbols for K thresholds present in the image Each pixel

could then be represented by a binary string of length K

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

The noisy image is analyzed in a moving window fashion Each

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Combination of NL Principle and

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Similar patches xis are grouped together in the data matrix

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

bull Observation of these coefficients

suggests that they are not randomly

distributed and their location uncertainty is

related to non-local self similarity of the

image which implies the possibility of

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

The noisy image is analyzed in a moving window fashion Each

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Proposed Method

Derivation of Rough Edge Map (REM)

To obtain the cardinality of lower and upper approximation of the object a granule based

method is adopted The minimum granule size could be 1x2 2x1 or 2x2

This leads to a situation where some granules will not be counted entirely in lower

approximation or entirely in upper approximation These granules thus could be

considered as thick rough edge of the object

Each optimized threshold will generate a thick (eg 2x2 blocks) rough edge map for the

object under consideration

The union of all such rough edge maps is expected to fetch the rough edge map of the

entire image

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

The noisy image is analyzed in a moving window fashion Each

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

noise level

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

The noisy image is analyzed in a moving window fashion Each

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

noise level

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Combination of NL Principle and

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

noise level

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Then the noisy image is computed as

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Then the noisy image is computed as

Global vs Local

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

The noisy image is analyzed in a moving window fashion Each

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

at each pixel

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2011 IEEE Conference on IEEE 2011

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

In case of Global denoising whole image is processed at once

Here global image characteristics may prevail over local ones and

create spurious periodic patterns

To over come this issue local adaptive filters are used

position of the window is processed and modified independently

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

M-step Update the Gaussian parameters using the information obtained in the previous

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

bull Observation of these coefficients

suggests that they are not randomly

distributed and their location uncertainty is

related to non-local self similarity of the

image which implies the possibility of

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Translation invariance (TI)

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Similar patches xis are grouped together in the data matrix

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

M-step Update the Gaussian parameters using the information obtained in the previous

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

suggests that they are not randomly

distributed and their location uncertainty is

related to non-local self similarity of the

image which implies the possibility of

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Usual practice in these local adaptive techniques is of processing all the

overlapping patches of the image independently

In such cases a pixel undergoes the denoising process many times

Considering the latest update for a particular pixel may loose some information

Further improvement is achieved by averaging the different results that appear

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Similar patches xis are grouped together in the data matrix

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

suggests that they are not randomly

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Non-Local Self Similar Approach

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Similar patches xis are grouped together in the data matrix

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

suggests that they are not randomly

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Non-local Self Similarity

The methods discussed so far aim at noise reduction and reconstruction of the

main geometrical configurations but not at the preservation of the fine

structure details and texture as they are based on the principle of piece-wise

constant intensity

Such fine details are smoothed out as they behave in all functional aspects as

noise

In order to overcome this issue the

high degree of redundancy present

in the natural image is exploited

Every small window (patch) in a

natural image has many similar

windows in the same image

32

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

and N(j) of both the pixels respectively

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

Combination of NL Principle and

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Similar patches xis are grouped together in the data matrix

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

bull Observation of these coefficients

suggests that they are not randomly

distributed and their location uncertainty is

related to non-local self similarity of the

image which implies the possibility of

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Non-Local Means Non-local means compares entire patches (not individual pixel intensity values) to

compute weights for denoising pixel intensities

Comparison of entire patches is more robust ie if two patches are similar in a noisy

image they will be similar in the underlying clean image with very high probability

Here the weight w(ij) depends on similarity between the neighborhood window N(i)

Due to fast decay of the exponential kernel large Euclidean distances lead to nearly zero weights acting as an automatic threshold

Too-small patch size tends to create fake edges and patterns in the constant intensity regions whereas too large patch size over smooth the fine details

SSIM based NLM method (Rahman et al 2011)

Patches are compared using SSIM measure (As discussed earlier)

It provides an inherent advantage of comparing structurally similar patches

Combination of NL Principle and

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Similar patches xis are grouped together in the data matrix

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

M-step Update the Gaussian parameters using the information obtained in the previous

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

bull Observation of these coefficients

suggests that they are not randomly

distributed and their location uncertainty is

related to non-local self similarity of the

image which implies the possibility of

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Similar patches xis are grouped together in the data matrix

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

bull Observation of these coefficients

suggests that they are not randomly

distributed and their location uncertainty is

related to non-local self similarity of the

image which implies the possibility of

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Similar patches xis are grouped together in the data matrix

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

M-step Update the Gaussian parameters using the information obtained in the previous

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

suggests that they are not randomly

related to non-local self similarity of the

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

M-step Update the Gaussian parameters using the information obtained in the previous

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

patch

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Similar patches xis are grouped together in the data matrix

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

suggests that they are not randomly

image which implies the possibility of

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Combination of NL Principle and

Transform Domain Approaches

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Similar patches xis are grouped together in the data matrix

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Denoised image using first stage is again denoised in the same way after estimating the

noise level

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

M-step Update the Gaussian parameters using the information obtained in the previous

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

suggests that they are not randomly

image which implies the possibility of

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Non-Local PCA and its variants

So far fixed orthonormal basis are used for the transformed domain approaches for

denoising

New transform bases can be learnt by using the non-local similarity of the patches

The most basic transform learnt is Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

LPG-PCA[Zhang et al] works in 2-stages Local Pixel Grouping (LPG) refers to finding

similar patches to the reference patch

Non-Local PCA and its variants From Gaussian Mixture Models to Structured Sparsity [Yu et Al] The approach uses

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

M-step Update the Gaussian parameters using the information obtained in the previous

step

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

suggests that they are not randomly

related to non-local self similarity of the

image which implies the possibility of

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Non-Local PCA and its variants Adaptive PCA [Muresan et al] The bases are learnt for each patch from the collection of

similar patches for that particular patch

The patches are considered to be similar if their squared distance is less than or equal to

3nσ2 (n patch size σ standard deviation of noise)

The coefficients of patch in the transformed PCA space are manipulated using soft or hard

thresholding or wiener filter update

Inverse the transformation repeat the procedure for each patch and reconstruct the image

Gaussian Mixture Models to perform image denoising MAP-EM algorithm is used to

estimate original image x from the degraded image y is

E-step Assuming the estimates of - Gaussian parameters are known

calculate MAP estimate for each patch xi with all the gaussians and select the best

Gaussian model ki to obtain the estimate of the patch

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

Any patch of the image can be represented as where α represents the coefficients of the

patch

bull Observation of these coefficients

suggests that they are not randomly

distributed and their location uncertainty is

related to non-local self similarity of the

image which implies the possibility of

achieving higher sparsity by exploiting

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Each of the K component will have a covariance matrix which can be defined in terms of

PCA basis Here Wk is the PCA basis and Sk is the diagonal matrix consisting of

the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix For each component these basis are linear in

nature

The patch xi can be transformed to the PCA basis So if the PCA coefficients ai lsquos

are known

For each patch only one of the airsquos is active which makes the selection of the basis very

sparse in nature

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Clustering based Sparse Representation (CSR) The work performs a clustering operation on

the noisy patches learns separate PCA bases W for each cluster and then minimizes a criterion

for the proximity of the coefficients of patches belonging to any given cluster

suggests that they are not randomly

such location related constraint

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

BM3D is the state of the art method today which again is based on the idea of non-

local similarity at the patch-level and works in two-stages

Given a reference patch in the noisy image this method again collects similar patches

But this time the similar patches and the reference patch are arranged in the form of a

3D stack (of say some K patches in all)

The stack is projected onto 3D transform bases (typically 3D DCT or tensor product

of 2D DCT and 1D Haar wavelets)

The 3D transform coefficients are manipulated ndash usually by hard thresholding

All the patches in the entire stack are reconstructed using an inverse 3D transform

This is repeated for every patch in the image The multiple answers appearing at any

pixel are averaged

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

orthogonal basis vectors

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Furthermore A is given by

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Then the noisy image is computed as

The convention of 3 Rician noise defines the Gaussian noise used in complex domain

is equivalent to N(0υ(3100)) where υ is the value of the brightest tissue in the image

For a same level of noise the Rician noise is stronger than the Gaussian noise

In the second stage the output image of the first step is used to compute patch

similarities (this will be more robust than computing the similarities in the noisy

image)

Patches from the first-stage image are then appropriately assembled into a stack

Corresponding patches from the noisy image are assembled into a second stack

3D transform coefficients of both the stacks are computed

The second stack is denoised using Wiener filtering as follows

This is again repeated in sliding-window fashion with averaging

Orthogonal Locality Preserving Projection finds an embedding that preserves local

information and obtains a subspace that best detects the essential data manifold

structure

Objective function of LPP is to obtain orthonormal basis

constraint wTw =I is imposed

where Weight Matrix S is

The objective function with this choice of symmetric weights incurs a heavy penalty

if neighbouring points are mapped far apart

The minimization problem now reduces to XLX Tw =λw where w contains the

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

A new application of OLPP has been explored for Image Denoising here the procedure

of removing noise is carried out in the projection domain of New OLPP (NOLPP)

Given the noisy image it is divided into overlapping patches and a set of global basis is

learnt for the whole imagewindow

Each noisy patch is then projected on the corresponding NOLPP basis and the

coefficients are modified using Weiner filter update as follows

Modified patches in the NOLPP domain are transformed back to the spatial domain

As opposed to the methods discussed before the basis learnt here are global

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Furthermore A is given by

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Then the noisy image is computed as

The convention of 3 Rician noise defines the Gaussian noise used in complex domain

is equivalent to N(0υ(3100)) where υ is the value of the brightest tissue in the image

For a same level of noise the Rician noise is stronger than the Gaussian noise

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Furthermore A is given by

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Then the noisy image is computed as

The convention of 3 Rician noise defines the Gaussian noise used in complex domain

is equivalent to N(0υ(3100)) where υ is the value of the brightest tissue in the image

For a same level of noise the Rician noise is stronger than the Gaussian noise

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Rice Distribution

If the real and imaginary data with mean values AR and AI respectively are corrupted by

Gaussian zero mean stationary noise with standard deviation σ the magnitude data will

be Rician distributed with PDF

I0 is the modified zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind Mi denotes the ith data

point of the magnitude image The unit step function u is used to indicate that the

expression for the PDF of Mi is valid for nonnegative values of Mi only

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

noise

The convention of 3 Rician noise defines the Gaussian noise used in complex domain

Rician Noise Generation

The Rician noise was built from white Gaussian noise in the complex domain First two

images are computed

where I0 is the ldquoground truthrdquo and σ is the standard deviation of the added white Gaussian

noise

Then the noisy image is computed as

The convention of 3 Rician noise defines the Gaussian noise used in complex domain

is equivalent to N(0υ(3100)) where υ is the value of the brightest tissue in the image

For a same level of noise the Rician noise is stronger than the Gaussian noise
