Bi-ComForWaRD: BIVARIATE COMPLEX FOURIER-WAVELET REGULARIZED DECONVOLUTION FOR MEDICAL IMAGING
M. Venu Gopala Rao, S. Vathsal · International Journal of Computational Intelligence and Applications · 2009
In this paper, we propose a new hybrid Bivariate Complex Fourier Wavelet Regularized Deconvolution (Bi-ComForWaRD) that is an extension to the ComForWaRD algorithm, for medical imaging. This new algorithm is a two-step process, a global blur compensation using generalized Wiener filter and followed by a denoising algorithm using local adaptive Bivariate shrinkage function. It is a low-complexity denoising algorithm using the joint statistics of the wavelet coefficients and considers the statistical dependencies between the coefficients. And also, the performance of this system will be demonstrated on both the orthogonal wavelet transform and the dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) and some comparisons with the best available wavelet-based image denoising results will be given in order to illustrate the effectiveness of the system.
