Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for determining the variable size of locally adaptive window using region-merging method. A region including a denoising point is partitioned to disjoint sub-regions. Locally adaptive window for denoising is obtained by selecting Proper sub-lesions. In our method, nearly arbitrarily shaped window is achieved. Experimental results show that our method outperforms other critically sampled wavelet denoising scheme.

본 논문에서는 영역 병합 방법을 사용하여 가변하는 국부 적응 창의 크기를 결정하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 잡음 제거를 위한 한 점을 포함하고 있는 영역은 중복되지 않게 부분 영역으로 분할된다. 적절한 부분 영역을 선택하여 잡음 제거를 위한 국부 적응 창을 결정한다. 제안 방법에서는 거의 임의의 모양을 가지는 창을 얻을 수 있다. 모의실험결과에서 제안 방법이 다른 웨이블릿 기반 잡음 제거 방법보다 우수함을 보인다.
