Wavelet Based Color Image Denoising through a Bivariate Pearson Distribution
In this paper we proposed an efficient algorithm for Colo r Image Denoising through a Bivariate Pearson Distribution using Wavelet Which is based on Bayesian denoising and if Bayesian denoising is used for recovering image from the noisy image the performance is strictly depend on the correctness of the distribution that is used to describe the data. In the denoising process we require a selection of p roper model for distribution. To describe the image data bivariate pearson distribution is used and Gaussian distribution is used to describe the noise particles in this paper. For gray scale image lots of extensive works has been don e in this field but fo r colour image denoising using bivariate pearson distribution based on bayesian denoising gives us tremendous result for analy sing coloured images which can be used in several advanced applications. The bivariate probability density function (pdf) takes in t o account the Gaussian dependency among wavelet coefficients. The experimental results show that the proposed technique outperforms sev eral exiting methods both visually and in terms of peak signal - to - noise ratio (PSNR)
Skellam shrinkage: Wavelet-based intensity estimation for inhomogeneous Poisson data
The ubiquity of integrating detectors in imaging and other applications
implies that a variety of real-world data are well modeled as Poisson random
variables whose means are in turn proportional to an underlying vector-valued
signal of interest. In this article, we first show how the so-called Skellam
distribution arises from the fact that Haar wavelet and filterbank transform
coefficients corresponding to measurements of this type are distributed as sums
and differences of Poisson counts. We then provide two main theorems on Skellam
shrinkage, one showing the near-optimality of shrinkage in the Bayesian setting
and the other providing for unbiased risk estimation in a frequentist context.
These results serve to yield new estimators in the Haar transform domain,
including an unbiased risk estimate for shrinkage of Haar-Fisz
variance-stabilized data, along with accompanying low-complexity algorithms for
inference. We conclude with a simulation study demonstrating the efficacy of
our Skellam shrinkage estimators both for the standard univariate wavelet test
functions as well as a variety of test images taken from the image processing
literature, confirming that they offer substantial performance improvements
over existing alternatives.Comment: 27 pages, 8 figures, slight formatting changes; submitted for

A nonlinear Stein based estimator for multichannel image denoising
The use of multicomponent images has become widespread with the improvement
of multisensor systems having increased spatial and spectral resolutions.
However, the observed images are often corrupted by an additive Gaussian noise.
In this paper, we are interested in multichannel image denoising based on a
multiscale representation of the images. A multivariate statistical approach is
adopted to take into account both the spatial and the inter-component
correlations existing between the different wavelet subbands. More precisely,
we propose a new parametric nonlinear estimator which generalizes many reported
denoising methods. The derivation of the optimal parameters is achieved by
applying Stein's principle in the multivariate case. Experiments performed on
multispectral remote sensing images clearly indicate that our method
outperforms conventional wavelet denoising technique
