This study introduces an efficient image denoising algorithm using wavelets and multifractals to detect singularities. The method effectively preserves image edges while reducing noise, achieving high visual quality and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR).

Area of Science:

  • Digital Image Processing
  • Signal Processing
  • Computational Imaging

Background:

  • Image denoising is crucial for image quality assessment.
  • Preserving image edges during noise reduction remains a significant challenge.
  • Multifractal analysis and wavelet transforms offer powerful tools for signal analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient algorithm for image denoising that preserves image edges.
  • To leverage multifractal analysis for singularity detection in noisy images.
  • To enhance image quality by effectively reducing noise while maintaining structural details.

Main Methods:

  • Modeling noisy image intensity surfaces as statistically self-similar multifractal processes.
  • Utilizing wavelet transform for multiresolution analysis and local statistical self-similarity.

  • Calculating pointwise singularity strength and thresholding wavelet coefficients.
  • Applying approximate minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) estimation and fuzzy weighted mean (FWM) filtering.

    • Main Results:

    • Wavelet coefficients were classified into edge-related/regular and irregular categories based on singularity strength.
    • Irregular coefficients were denoised using MMSE estimation.
    • Edge-related and regular coefficients were smoothed using FWM filtering to preserve details.
    • A two-pass filtering approach (MMSE followed by FWM) improved denoising at lower decomposition levels.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed algorithm achieves effective noise reduction while preserving image edges and details.
    • The combination of wavelets, multifractals, MMSE, and FWM filtering yields superior denoising performance.
    • The algorithm demonstrates potential for applications requiring high-quality denoised images with preserved structural integrity.
