Image denoising algorithm via doubly local Wiener filtering with directional windows in wavelet domain
Peng‐Lang Shui · IEEE Signal Processing Letters · 2005
Local Wiener filtering in the wavelet domain is an effective image denoising method of low complexity. In this letter, we propose a doubly local Wiener filtering algorithm, where the elliptic directional windows are used for different oriented subbands in order to estimate the signal variances of noisy wavelet coefficients, and the two procedures of local Wiener filtering are performed on the noisy image. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the denoising performance significantly.
