Glincy Abraham, Neethu Mohan, Sreekala S, Neethu Prasannan, K P Soman . Two Stage Wavelet based Image Denoising. International Journal of Computer Applications. 56, 14 ( October 2012), 30-37. DOI=10.5120/8961-3167
In this paper we are proposing a 2-stage wavelet based denoising technique. First stage of denoising is performed on the approximation coefficient obtained from the level 1 wavelet decomposition [1] of the noisy image and second stage of denoising is applied on the reconstructed image. The second stage denoising has shown a better result on to the reconstructed image. The detail coefficients are newly estimated from the first level denoised approximation coefficients. For denoising, techniques like Total Variation [3], Split Bregman [4] and NL means [5] are used. The quality of results obtained from different denoising techniques has been measured using various objective matrices such as PSNR, MSE on standard test images.
