Area of Science:

  • Image processing
  • Signal processing
  • Geophysics

Background:

  • Irregularly sampled image data, common in geophysics, presents challenges for traditional denoising methods.
  • Wavelet regression is a powerful tool for image denoising, but often requires specific data structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an effective image denoising method for data with irregular boundaries.
  • To enhance wavelet regression by incorporating a polynomial term to address edge artifacts and data size limitations.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of wavelet regression incorporating a low-order polynomial term.
  • Application to images with equally spaced observations, except for irregular boundaries.
  • Validation through simulation studies and a real-world geophysical data example.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method effectively reduces bias at image edges without significantly increasing noise risk.
  • It overcomes the limitation of dyadic data sizes often required in classical wavelet methods.
  • The technique is demonstrated to be simple, fast, and efficient for practical applications.

Conclusions:

  • Adding a polynomial term to wavelet regression is a beneficial strategy for denoising images with irregular boundaries.
  • This method offers an improved approach for geophysical data processing and other fields with similar data characteristics.
  • The technique provides a robust, efficient, and easily implementable solution for edge-biased image denoising.
