Abstract
Background: Noise represents a lack of data in the image which can be removed using
Image denoising. Image denoising can be achieved by Gaussian filtering, anisotropic filtering,
wavelet Thresholding, etc.
Objective: In this paper, authors have used Wavelet-based denoising because it can effectively remove
both additive and multiplicative noise from images, and preserve fine details and edges in the
image.
Methods: The different thresholding techniques like Visu Shrink and Bayes Shrink for Hard
Thresholding (HT) and Soft Thresholding (ST) employing different standard deviations ranging
from 0.05-0.3 with a difference of 0.05 is used.
Results: The peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) is evaluated as a performance parameter. For grayscale
images, the maximum value of PSNR is obtained as 29.483 dB while for RGB images,
34.324dB using Bayes Shrink considering ST at 0.05 variance is achieved. 2.2% improvement is
observed for grayscale images while 8.6% improvement is observed for RGB images considering
Bayes Shrink ST over Bayes Shrink HT.
Conclusion: While comparing PSNR values of other Thresholding techniques, ST results better
over HT. The PSNR values for images produced by Bayes Shrink are high which therefore states
that the quality of reconstructed images is better for Bayes Shrink than Visu Shrink.
