Signal Enhancement Based on Hölder Regularity Analysis

International audienceWe present a approach for signal enhancement based on the analysis of the local Hölder regularity. The method does not make explicit assumptions on the type of noise or on the global smoothness of the original data, but rather supposes that signal enhancement is equivalent to increasing the Hölder regularity each point. Such a scheme is well adapted to the case where the signal to be recovered is itself very irregular, e.g. nowhere differentiable with rapidly varying local regularity. In particular, we show an application to SAR image denoting where this technique yields good results compared to other algorithms
