Images are often corrupted by noise. For visual quality as well as for satisfactory extraction of important features from the images, denoising of the images is necessary. It is an unavoidable pre-processing step for many applications such as image compression, segmentation, identification, fusion, object recognition etc. Many successful algorithms have been proposed over the past few decades for image denoising. A recent development in this area of research is the use of multiresolution principles. Wavelet decomposition and denoising are milestones in multiresolution image signal processing. In this paper, multiresolution singular value decomposition is proposed as a new method for denoising of images. The new algorithm and its implementation using MATLAB is presented. Results show that it is a good method for image denoising.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
