IMAGE DENOISING2
Noise reduction is the most important for enhancing color images.
The noise arises from improper lighting, movement of objects,sensitivity of imaging devices, resulting artifacts, blur & contrast
sensitivity.
The image acquisition sensor output carries both signal and noisecomponents which make high-quality image acquisition difficult.
Removal of Poisson noise is challenging because it is signaldependent. Its magnitude varies depend upon the intensity ofimage, especially it affects the medical images .

Medical images(X-ray, CT,MRI) are mainly affected byPoisson noise .Because X-ray distribution follows thePoisson distribution.
Diagnosing of disease is complicated due to the noise. Theimportant information is removed if we perform the
denoising techniques.

images is fairly well behaved and may be estimated easily.

1) finding the image patches similar to a given image patch and grouping them in a3Dblock
2) 3D linear transform of the 3D block;
3) shrinkage of the transform spectrum coeffcients;
4)inverse 3D transformation

For higher noise variance it shows poor performance.

Bilateral filter23
The bilateral filter is also defined as a weighted averageof nearby pixels,in a manner very similar to Gaussianconvolution.
The difference is that the bilateral filter takes into accountthe difference in value with the neighbours to preserveedges while smoothing.

The key idea of the bilateral filter is that for a pixel toinfluence another pixel, it should not only occupy anearby location but also have a similar value.

Bilateral filter Advantages25
Its formulation is simple: each pixel is replaced by a weightedaverage of its neighbors. This aspect is important because it makes iteasy to acquire intuition about its behavior, to adapt it to application-specific requirements, and to implement it.
It depends only on two parameters that indicate the size and
contrast of the features to preserve.
It can be used in a non-iterative manner. This makes theparameters easy to set since their effect is not cumulative
over several iterations.
