A COMPARISON STUDY FOR IMAGE DENOISING

Abstract

Image denoising is the detection and removal of outliers in a image. A measured analog signal is affected by both the device from which the measurement is performed and the noise from the environment. Various types of noise are available. With the developed noise reduction methods, it is tried to eliminate the existing noise. In this study, Bandelet Transform and Bilateral Filter denoising methods are compared. Both methods have been used to eliminate noise of different types and different rates added to the benchmark and retina images. Bandelet transform is performed for both hard and soft threshold. Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Mean Squared Error, Mean Structural Similarity and Feature Similarity Index are used as a comparison method.
