Abstract
In this paper, we present a new method by using 2-D discrete multiwavelet transform in image denoising. The developments in wavelet theory have given rise to the wavelet thresholding method, for extracting a signal from noisy data. The method of signal denoising via wavelet thresholding was popularized. Multiwavelets have recently been introduced and they offer simultaneous orthogonality, symmetry and short support. This property makes multiwavelets more suitable for various image processing applications, especially denoising. It is based on thresholding of multiwavelet coefficients arising from the standard scalar orthogonal wavelet transform. It takes into account the covariance structure of the transform. Denoising is images via thresholding of the multiwavelet coefficients result from preprocessing and the discrete multiwavelet transform can be carried out by threating the output in this paper. The form of the threshold is carefully formulated and is the key to the excellent results obtained in the extensive numerical simulations of image denoising. The performances of multiwavelets are compared with those of scalar wavelets. Simulations reveal that multiwavelet based image denoising schemes outperform wavelet based method both subjectively and objectively.
