A new adaptive wavelet packet-based approach to minimize speckle noise in ultrasound images is proposed. This method combines wavelet packet thresholding with a bilateral filter. Here, the best bases after wavelet packet decomposition are selected by comparing the first singular value of all sub-bands, and the noisy coefficients are thresholded using a modified NeighShrink technique. The algorithm...
