Image Processing Considering Directional Extraction by Multi-Resolution Signal Analysis.

Abstract

To restore image degraded by motion blur and additive noise, In conventional method, regularization is usually applied to all over the image without considering the local characteristics of image. As a result, ringing artifacts appear in edge regions and the noise amplification is introduced in flat regions. To solve this problem we propose an adaptive regularization iterative restoration using wavelet directional considering edges and the regularization operator with no direction for flat regions. We verified that the proposed method showed results in the suppression of the noise amplification in flat regions, and introduced less ringing artifacts in edge regions.
