| Summary: | In this paper, we present a denoising technique that is capable for preserving the fine details and
edges in the restored image more effectively in blind condition. We also introduce a new edge detection method
to detect edges effectively in noisy environments. First, the noisy image is denoised by using different weights
of Wiener filtering to generate two restored images; one with highly reduced noise, and the other with
preserved fine details and edges. The noise and image power spectra required for the frequency domain Wiener
filter are estimated with different threshold setting. Then, an edgemap image is generated directly from the
noisy image. The two Wiener filtered images are utilized for the smooth and non-smooth regions based on the
constructed edgemap to produce the final restored image. Simulation results show that the proposed method
outperforms or is comparable to other Wiener filter-based denoising methods and the state-of-the-art denosing
methods, especially in higher noise environments. |
