Despeckling of medical ultrasound images using Daubechies complex wavelet transform

The paper presents a novel despeckling method, based on Daubechies complex wavelet transform, for medical ultrasound images. Daubechies complex wavelet transform is used due to its approximate shift invariance property and extra information in imaginary plane of complex wavelet domain when compared to real wavelet domain. A wavelet shrinkage factor has been derived to estimate the noise-free wavelet coefficients. The proposed method firstly detects strong edges using imaginary component of complex scaling coefficients and then applies shrinkage on magnitude of complex wavelet coefficients in the wavelet domain at non-edge points. The proposed shrinkage depends on the statistical parameters of complex wavelet coefficients of noisy image which makes it adaptive in nature. Effectiveness of the proposed method is compared on the basis of signal to mean square error (SMSE) and signal to noise ratio (SNR). The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other conventional despeckling methods as well as wavelet based log transformed and non-log transformed methods on test images. Application of the proposed method on real diagnostic ultrasound images has shown a clear improvement over other methods.     

Image denoising with anisotropic bivariate shrinkage

This paper presents a novel image denoising algorithm based on the modeling of wavelet coefficients with an anisotropic bivariate Laplacian distribution function. The anisotropic bivariate Laplacian model not only captures the child-parent dependency between wavelet coefficients, but also fits the anisotropic property of the variances of wavelet coefficients in different scales of natural images. With this statistical model, we derive a closed-form anisotropic bivariate shrinkage function in the framework of Bayesian denoising and a new image denoising approach with local marginal variance estimation based on this newly derived shrinkage function is proposed in the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) domain. The proposed anisotropic bivariate shrinkage approach is also extended to the dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) domain to further improve the performance of image denoising. To take full advantage of DT-CWT, a more accurate noise variance estimator is proposed and the way the anisotropic bivariate shrinkage function applied to the magnitudes of DT-CWT coefficients is presented. Experiments were carried out in both the DWT and the DT-CWT domain to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Using a representative set of standard test images corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise, the simulation results show that the proposed method provides promising results and is competitive with the best wavelet-based denoising results reported in the literature both in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and in visual quality.

一种自适应小波域图像降噪方法

Donoho所提出的去噪算法由于没有考虑到图像的局部特征,而滤除了过多的小波系数,影响了图像的去噪效果。本文介绍了一种自适应阈值的小波系数收缩算法,该算法利用邻域小波系数与噪声方差关系,同时根据小波分解级数的不同而动态地改变小波系数收缩的幅度。由于阈值的自适应性。从而可以利用更多小波分解级数而不会滤除过多的小波系数,因此在去噪方面达到了更好的效果。本文还讨论了如何选取合适的小波分解级数、窗口大小、以及算法的复杂性。通过大量的实验结果可以看出,本算法在去噪的视觉效果和峰值信噪比(PSNR)指标上,优于其他去噪算法,同时,算法的执行和原理非常简单。     

Wavelet methods for spike detection in mouse renal sympathetic nerve activity

Abnormal autonomic nerve traffic has been associated with a number of peripheral neuropathies and cardiovascular disorders prompting the development of genetically altered mice to study the genetic and molecular components of these diseases. Autonomic function in mice can be assessed by directly recording sympathetic nerve activity. However, murine sympathetic spikes are typically detected using a manually adjusted voltage threshold and no unsupervised detection methods have been developed for the mouse. Therefore, we tested the performance of several unsupervised spike detection algorithms on simulated murine renal sympathetic nerve recordings, including an automated amplitude discriminator and wavelet-based detection methods which used both the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and the stationary wavelet transform (SWT) and several wavelet threshold rules. The parameters of the wavelet methods were optimized by comparing basal sympathetic activity to postmortem recordings and recordings made during pharmacological suppression and enhancement of sympathetic activity. In general, SWT methods were found to outperform amplitude discriminators and DWT methods with similar wavelet coefficient thresholding algorithms when presented with simulations with varied mean spike rates and signal-to-noise ratios. A SWT method which estimates the noise level using a "noise-only" wavelet scale and then selectively thresholds scales containing the physiologically important signal information was found to have the most robust spike detection. The proposed noise-level estimation method was also successfully validated during pharmacological interventions.     

Image reconstruction using the wavelet transform for positronemission tomography

We conducted positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction experiments using the wavelet transform. The Wavelet-Vaguelette decomposition was used as a framework from which expressions for the necessary wavelet coefficients might be derived, and then the wavelet shrinkage was applied to the wavelet coefficients for the reconstruction (WVS). The performances of WVS were evaluated and compared with those of the filtered back-projection (FBP) using software phantoms, physical phantoms, and human PET studies. The results demonstrated that WVS gave stable reconstruction over the range of shrinkage parameters and provided better noise and spatial resolution characteristics than FBP.     

A NEW APPROACH FOR UNSUPERVISED RESTORING IMAGES BASED ON WAVELET-DOMAIN PROJECTION PURSUIT LEARNING NETWORK

The Wavelet-Domain Projection Pursuit Learning Network (WDPPLN) is proposed for restoring degraded image. The new network combines the advantages of both projection pursuit and wavelet shrinkage. Restoring image is very difficult when little is known about a priori knowledge for multisource degraded factors. WDPPLN successfully resolves this problem by separately processing wavelet coefficients and scale coefficients. Parameters in WDPPLN,which are used to simulate degraded factors, are estimated via WDPPLN training, using scale coefficients. Also, WDPPLN uses soft-threshold of wavelet shrinkage technique to suppress noise in three high frequency subbands. The new method is compared with the traditional methods and the Projection Pursuit Learning Network (PPLN) method. Experimental results demonstrate that it is an effective method for unsupervised restoring degraded image.
