Denoising in Wavelet Domain Using Probabilistic Graphical Models

Abstract

Denoising of real world images that are degraded by Gaussian noise is a long established problem in statistical signal processing. The existing models in time-frequency domain typically model the wavelet coefficients as either independent or jointly Gaussian. However, in the compression arena, techniques like denoising and detection, states the need for models to be non-Gaussian in nature. Probabilistic Graphical Models designed in time-frequency domain, serves the purpose for achieving denoising and compression with an improved performance. In this work, Hidden Markov Model (HMM) designed with 2D Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is proposed. A comparative analysis of proposed method with different existing techniques: Wavelet based and curvelet based methods in Bayesian Network domain and Empirical Bayesian Approach using Hidden Markov Tree model for denoising has been presented. Results are compared in terms of PSNR and visual quality.
