Due to the lack of a definitive ground truth for the image fusion problem, the loss functions are structured based on evaluation metrics, such as the structural similarity index measure (SSIM). However, in doing so, a bias is introduced…
Due to its inferior characteristics, an observed (noisy) image's direct use gives rise to poor segmentation results. Intuitively, using its noise-free image can favorably impact image segmentation. Hence, the accurate estimation of the…
Noise removal from images is a part of image restoration in which we try to reconstruct or recover an image that has been degraded by using apriori knowledge of the degradation phenomenon. Noises present in images can be of various types…
All techniques for denoising involve a notion of a true (noise-free) image, and a hypothesis space. The hypothesis space may reconstruct the image directly as a grayscale valued function, or indirectly by its Fourier or wavelet spectrum.…
The details of an image with noise may be restored by removing noise through a suitable image de-noising method. In this research, a new method of image de-noising based on using median filter (MF) in the wavelet domain is proposed and…
