Abstract

We proposed an optimum de-noising filter using wavelet threshold for the removal of adaptive white Gaussian noise from degraded medical images/colour video sequence based on system noise calculation. The performance of the proposed Gaussian de-noising technique is compared with various de-noising techniques such as Bayesian least squares-Gaussian scale mixtures, bilateral filter, adaptive bilateral filter, multi-resolution bilateral filter, nonlocal-Means, wavelet threshold based filters, and kernel-based method. The proposed methods have comparable/superior performance and less computational time compared to other techniques.
