In order to improve the image denoising ability, the wavelet transform (WT) and independent component analysis (ICA) are both introduced into image denoising in this paper. Although these two algorithms have their own advantages in image denoising, they are unable to reduce noises completely, which makes it difficult to achieve ideal effect. Therefore, a new image denoising method is proposed based on the combination of WT with ICA (WT-ICA). For verifying the WT-ICA denoising method, we adopt four image denoising methods for comparison: median filtering (MF), wavelet soft thresholding (WST), ICA, and WT-ICA. From the experimental results, it is shown that WT-ICA can significantly reduce noises and get lower-noise image. Moreover, the average of WT-ICA denoising image’s peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) is improved by 20.54% compared with noisy image and 11.68% compared with the classical WST denoising image, which demonstrates its advantage. From the performance of texture and edge detection, denoising image by WT-ICA is closer to the original image. Therefore, the new method has its unique advantage in image denoising, which lays a solid foundation for the realization of further image processing task.

Photon Count

Digital images are matrices of equally spaced pixels, each containing a photon count. This photon count is a stochastic process due to the quantum nature of light. It follows that all images are noisy. Ever since digital images have existed, numerical methods have been proposed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Such ‘denoising’ methods require a noise model and an image model. It is relatively easy to obtain a noise model. As will be explained in the present paper, it is even possible to estimate it from a single noisy image.

Degraded Image

The image often contains noises due to several factors such as a problem in devices or due to an environmental problem etc. Noise is mainly undesired information, which degrades the quality of the picture. Therefore, image denoising method is adopted to remove the noises from the degraded image which in turn improve the quality of the image. In this paper, image denoising has been done by wavelet transform using Visu thresholding techniques for different wavelet families. PSNR (Peak signal to noise ratio) and RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) value is also calculated for different wavelet families.

An image denoising method based on spatial filtering is proposed on order to overcoming the shortcomings of traditional denoising methods in this paper. The method combined mean mask algorithm with median filtering technique is able to replace the gray values of noisy image pixel by the mean or median value in its neighborhood mask matrix and highlight the characteristic value of the image. Peak signal to noise ratio and mean square error are used as the evaluation index in this method and comparison between mean filter and median filter is done. The experimental results show that this denoising system makes the images have a high signal to noise ratio and integrity of edge details and take into account real-time, and fast response characteristic of the system.

The key of image denoising algorithms is to preserve the details of the original image while denoising the noise in the image. The existing algorithms use the external information to better preserve the details of the image, but the use of external information needs the support of similar images or image patches. In this paper, an edge-aware image denoising algorithm is proposed to achieve the goal of preserving the details of original image while denoising and using only the characteristics of the noisy image. In general, image denoising algorithms use the noise prior to set parameters todenoise the noisy image. In this paper, it is found that the details of original image can be better preserved by combining the prior information of noise and the image edge features to set denoising parameters. The experimental results show that the proposed edge-aware image denoising algorithm can effectively improve the performance of block-matching and 3D filtering and patch group prior-based denoising algorithms and obtain higher peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity values.

In the catenary status detection system based on the image processing, quality of the captured catenary image is critical. In order to obtain a high quality image for further analysis, this paper proposes a new catenary image denoising method based on lifting wavelet-based contourlet transform with cycle shift-invariance (LWBCTCS). In this method, the lifting wavelet is first constructed based on wavelet transform (WT). Then, to decrease the redundancy of contourlet transform (CT), the lifting wavelet-based contourlet transform (LWBCT) is built by using the lifting wavelet to replace the Laplacian pyramid (LP) transform of CT. Finally, the LWBCT with the cycle shift-invariance (LWBCTCS) algorithm is combined to reduce the pseudo-Gibbs phenomena of LWBCT. The proposed method not only has the virtues of multi-scale and multi-direction, but also reduces the visual artifacts in the denoised image. The results of comparative experiments with captured catenary image show that the proposed method can achieve satisfactory denoising performance, in particular, for catenary image with abundant texture and detail outline information. It not only eliminates noise but also preserves the textures and details simultaneously. Besides, comprehensive consideration of the denoising performance shows that the proposed algorithm in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and mean squared error (MSE) is stable than those conventional denoising algorithms, including WT, CT, curvelet transform (CV) and BLS-GSM methods. The visual quality as well as quantitative metrics is superior than those conventional denoising methods.

Shearlet is a new effective signal representation tool in many image applications. A novel image denoising scheme based on Shearlet transform is proposed in this paper. The original image is first decomposed using shearlet transform, then the shrink threshold of each decomposed subband adopts the different best threshold, producing the preliminary primary denoised image after reconstruction. Experiments show that the proposed scheme can remove the pseudo-Gibbs artifacts and image noise effectively. Besides, it outperforms the existing schemes in regard of both the peak-signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR) and the edge preservation ability.

The performance of this method is enumerated in terms of peak signal to noise ratio and structural similarity index of a particular image.

The LIFT technology has applied in process of denoising to ensure the imaging precision of minor faults and structure in 3D coalfield seismic processing. The paper focused on the denoising process in two study areas where the LIFT technology is used. The separation of signal and noise is done firstly. Then denoising would be done in the noise data. The Data of weak effective signal that is from the noise data could be blended with the original effective signal to reconstruct the denoising data, so the result which has high signal-to-noise ratio and preserved amplitude is acquired. Thus the fact shows that LIFT is an effective denoising method for 3D seismic in coalfield and could be used widely in other work area.

Aimed at the problem that the traditional image denoising algorithm is not effective in noise reduction, a new image denoising method is proposed. The method combines deep learning and non-local mean filtering algorithms to denoise the noisy image to obtain better noise reduction effect. By comparing with Gaussian filtering algorithm, median filtering algorithm, bilateral filtering algorithm and early non-local mean filtering algorithm, the noise reduction effect of the new algorithm is better than the traditional method and the peak signal to noise ratio is compared with the early non-local mean algorithm. The performance is better.

Abstract This article proposes bit flipping method to conceal secret data in the original image. Here a block consists of 2 pixels and thereby flipping one or two LSBs of the pixels to hide secret information in it. It exists in two variants. Variant-1 and Variant-2 both use 7th and 8th bit of a pixel to conceal the secret data. Variant-1 hides 3 bits per a pair of pixels and the Variant-2 hides 4 bits per a pair of pixels. Our proposed method notably raises the capacity as well as bits per pixel that can be hidden in the image compared to existing bit flipping method. The image steganographic parameters such as, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), hiding capacity, and the Quality Index (Q.I) of the proposed techniques has been compared with the results of the existing bit flipping technique and some of the state of art article.
