Image Denoising Using Singular Value Difference in the Wavelet Domain

الملخص EN

Singular value (SV) difference is the difference in the singular values between a noisy image and the original image; it varies regularly with noise intensity.

This paper proposes an image denoising method using the singular value difference in the wavelet domain.

First, the SV difference model is generated for different noise variances in the three directions of the wavelet transform and the noise variance of a new image is used to make the calculation by the diagonal part.

Next, the single-level discrete 2-D wavelet transform is used to decompose each noisy image into its low-frequency and high-frequency parts.

Then, singular value decomposition (SVD) is used to obtain the SVs of the three high-frequency parts.

Finally, the three denoised high-frequency parts are reconstructed by SVD from the SV difference, and the final denoised image is obtained using the inverse wavelet transform.

Experiments show the effectiveness of this method compared with relevant existing methods.
