A new color image denoising method in the contourlet domain is proposed for reducing noise in images corrupted by Gaussian noise. This method takes into account the statistical dependencies among the contourlet coefficients of the RGB color channels. To this end, the multivariate Cauchy distribution is employed to capture these inter-channel dependencies. This model is then exploited in a Bayesian...
Speckle noise reduction is a prerequisite task in images captured by ultrasonography systems due to their inherent noisy nature. In this work, we propose a new despeckling method in the contourlet domain using the Cauchy prior. The multiplicative speckle noise is first transferred to an additive one using a logarithmic transform. The logarithmically-transformed contourlet coefficients of the image...
A new contourlet-based method is introduced for reducing noise in images corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise. This method takes into account the statistical dependencies among the contourlet coefficients of different scales. In view of this, a non-Gaussian multivariate distribution is proposed to capture the across-scale dependencies of the contourlet coefficients. This model is then exploited...
Speckle reduction has been a prerequisite for many SAR image processing tasks. This work presents a new approach for despeckling of SAR images in the contourlet domain using the alpha-stable distribution. It is shown that the alpha-stable distribution provides a good fit for the contourlet coefficients of an image, since it can capture the large peak and heavy tails of the distribution of the empirical...
