Abstract

The denoising for image restoration based on the Wavelet Packet Transform with AA(Absolute Average) making-threshold is presented. The wavelet packet transform leads to be better in the part of high frequency than wavelet transform to eliminate noise. And the existing threshold determination is used standard deviation estimated results in increasing the noise and threshold, and damaging an image quality. In addition that is decreased image restoration PSNR by using the same threshold in spite of changing image because of installing a threshold in proportion of noise size. In contrast the AA thresholding method with wavelet packet is adapted by changing image to set up threshold by statistic quantity of resolved image and is avoided an extreme impact. The results on the experiment has improved 10% and 5% over than the denoising based on simple wavelet transform and wavelet packet respectively.

본 논문은 웨이블릿 패킷 변환과 AA(절대평균)임계값 설정 기반에 의한 영상의 노이즈를 제거하여 영상을 복원하는 연구이다. 웨이블릿 패킷 변환은 웨이블릿 변환보다 고주파부분에서 노이즈 제거가 효과적이다. 또한 기존에 사용된 임계값 결정은 표준편차 추정치를 사용하므로 노이즈 크기가 커지면 임계값이 증가하고 영상도 손상되고, 노이즈 크기에 비례하여 임계값이 설정되므로 영상이 변해도 동일한 임계값이 적용되어 복원 영상의 PSNR이 저하된다. 반면 AA임계값 적용기법은 극단적인 영향을 피할 수 있고 분해된 영상의 통계량에 따라 임계값이 결정되므로 영상의 변화에 적응적이다. 실험 결과 표준편차 추정 임계값을 적용한 웨이블릿 변환기법과 비교하여 10%, 웨이블릿 패킷 기반 노이즈 제거기법과는 5% PSNR이 증가하였다.
