Compression Artifacts

Since high quality realistic media are widely used in various computer vision applications, image compression is one of the essential technologies to enable real-time applications. Image compression generally causes undesired compression artifacts, such as blocking artifacts and ringing effects. In this study, we propose a densely cascading image restoration network (DCRN), which consists of an input layer, a densely cascading feature extractor, a channel attention block, and an output layer. The densely cascading feature extractor has three densely cascading (DC) blocks, and each DC block contains two convolutional layers, five dense layers, and a bottleneck layer. To optimize the proposed network architectures, we investigated the trade-off between quality enhancement and network complexity. Experimental results revealed that the proposed DCRN can achieve a better peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index measure for compressed joint photographic experts group (JPEG) images compared to the previous methods.

A novel scheme is presented for image compression using a compatible form called Chimera. This form represents a new transformation for the image pixels. The compression methods generally look for image division to obtain small parts of an image called blocks. These blocks contain limited predicted patterns such as flat area, simple slope, and single edge inside images. The block content of these images represent a special form of data which be reformed using simple masks to obtain a compressed representation. The compression representation is different according to the type of transform function which represents the preprocessing operation prior the coding step. The cost of any image transformation is represented by two main parameters which are the size of compressed block and the error in reconstructed block. Our proposed Chimera Transform (CT) shows a robustness against other transform such as Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Wavelet Transform (WT) and Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT). The suggested approach is designed to compress a specific data type which are the images, and this represents the first powerful characteristic of this transform. Additionally, the reconstructed image using Chimera transform has a small size with low error which could be considered as the second characteristic of the suggested approach. Our results show a Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) enhancement of 2.0272 for DCT, 1.179 for WT and 4.301 for KLT. In addition, a Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) enhancement of 0.1108 for DCT, 0.051 for WT and 0.175 for KLT.

Aim: Image is the most powerful tool to analyze the information. Sometimes the captured image gets affected with blur and noise in the environment, which degrades the quality of the image. Image restoration is a technique in image processing where the degraded image can be restored or recovered to its nearest original image. Materials and Methods: In this research Lucy-Richardson algorithm is used for restoring blurred and noisy images using MATLAB software. And the proposed work is compared with Wiener filter, and the sample size for each group is 30. Results: The performance was compared based on three parameters, Power Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM), Normalized Correlation (NC). High values of PSNR, SSIM and NC indicate the better performance of restoration algorithms. Lucy-Richardson provides a mean PSNR of 10.4086db, mean SSIM of 0.4173%, and NC of 0.7433% and Wiener filter provides a mean PSNR of 6.3979db, SSIM of 0.3016%, NC of 0.3276%. Conclusion: Based on the experimental results and statistical analysis using independent sample T test, image restoration using Lucy-Richardson algorithm significantly performs better than Wiener filter on restoring the degraded image with PSNR (P<0.001) and SSIM (P<0.001).

Three-dimensional reconstruction of teeth plays an important role in the operation of living dental implants. However, the tissue around teeth and the noise generated in the process of image acquisition bring a serious impact on the reconstruction results, which must be reduced or eliminated. Combined with the advantages of wavelet transform and bilateral filtering, this paper proposes an image denoising method based on the above methods. The method proposed in this paper not only removes the noise but also preserves the image edge details. The noise in high frequency subbands is denoised using a locally adaptive thresholding and the noise in low frequency subbands is filtered by the bilateral filtering. Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index measure (SSIM) and 3D reconstruction using the iso-surface extraction method are used to evaluate the denoising effect. The experimental results show that the proposed method is better than the wavelet denoising and bilateral filtering, and the reconstruction results meet the requirements of clinical diagnosis.

Comparing the performance of wavelet decomposition level, which are Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4. We used gaussian random process to generate measurement matrix. The algorithm used to reconstruct the image is . The experimental results showed that the use of wavelet multi-level can generate higher compression ratio but requires a longer processing time. MRI reconstruction results based on the parameters of the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index measure (SSIM) show that the higher the level of decomposition in wavelets, the value of both decreases.

In this work, a grayscale image steganography scheme is proposed using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD). In this scheme, 2-level DWT is applied to a cover image to obtain the high frequency band HL2 which is utilized to embed a secret grayscale image based on the SVD technique. The robustness and the imperceptibility of the proposed steganography algorithm are controlled by a scaling factor for obtaining an acceptable trade-off between them. Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) are used for assessing the efficiency of the proposed approach. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme still holds its validity under different known attacks such as noise addition, filtering, cropping and JPEG compression

In this paper a new ripplet-based shrinkage technique is used to suppress noise from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The propitious properties of ripplet transform such as anisotropy, high directionality, good localization, and high-energy compaction make the proposed method efficient and feature preserving when compared to other transforms. Ripplet transform provides efficient representation of edges in images with a higher potential for image processing applications such as image restoration, compression, and de-noising. The proposed method implies a new nonlinear ripplet-based shrinkage technique to extract the spatial and frequency information from MRI corrupted by noise. The choice of this new shrinkage technique is due to its simplicity, versatility, and its efficiency in removing noise from homogenous regions and those regions with singularities, when compared to the existing filtering techniques. Experiments were conducted on several diffusion weighed images and anatomical images. The results show that the proposed de-noising technique shows competitive performance compared to the current state-of-art methods. Qualitative validation was performed based on several quality metrics and profound improvement over existing methods was obtained. Higher values of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Correlation Coefficient (CC), mean structural similarity index (MSSIM), and lower values of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and computational time were obtained for the proposed ripplet-based shrinkage technique when compared to the existing ones.

Abstract In this paper we propose a new approach for image denoising based on the combination of PM model, isotropic diffusion model, and TV model. To emphasize the superiority of the proposed model, we have used the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) as the subjective criterion. Numerical experiments with different images show that our algorithm has the highest PSNR and SS1M, as well as the best visual quality among the six algorithms. Experimental results confirm the high performance of the proposed model compared with some well-known algorithms. In a word, the new model outperforms the mentioned three well known algorithms in reducing the Gibbs-type artifacts, edges blurring, and the block effect, simultaneously.
