In order to improve speckle noise denoising of block matching and 3d filtering (BM3d) method, an image frequency-domain multi-layer fusion enhancement method (MLFE-BM3d) based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) has been proposed. The methoddesigns an NSCT hard thresholddenoising enhancement to preprocess the image, then uses fusion enhancement in NSCT domain to fuse the preliminary estimation results of images before and after the NSCT hard thresholddenoising, finally, BM3ddenoising is carried out with the fused image to obtain the final denoising result. Experiments on natural images and medical ultrasound images show that MLFE-BM3d method can achieve better visual effects than BM3d method, the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of the denoised image is increased by 0.5dB. The MLFE-BM3d method can improve the denoising effect of speckle noise in the texture region, and still maintain a gooddenoising effect in the smooth region of the image.

In recent years, remote sensing images have been used for many different applications that require visual analysis and interpretation. In this paper, reducing/removing noise is the basic approach, as it causes loss of information and therefore affects the accuracy of the analyses. Within the scope of the study, two different test areas of land cover/use were applied to examine the effects of noise on optical satellite images. In this context, Landsat 8 and Sentinel 2 satellites were used to study the effects of denoising methods on different spatial resolutions. due to the lack of raw images of the selected satellites, two different types of noise (i.e. Gaussian and Stripe) were added to the images. In this context, four different denoising methods were compared by using conventional filter techniques commonly used in the spatial domain, while also different methods that useddifferent threshold values in the frequency domain. The first approach is Median, block matching and 3d filtering methods in the spatial domain, applications that depend mainly on the neighborhood relationship of pixels in the image. The second approach is wavelet-based Contourlet and Curvelet methods in the frequency domain. The quality analysis of denoised images were evaluated as qualitative (statistical methods Peak Signal to Noise Ratio, Mean Square Error, standarddeviation, min/max value), and quantitative. Finally, Curvelet hard thresholding transform was the selected method as the best algorithm after quality analysis additionally, the method also effectively preserves edges in homogeneous test area and other fine details in the heterogeneous test area.

In this paper, we revisit the effects of principal component analysis (PCA) on hyperspectral imagery denoising. Our previous work combined PCA with wavelet shrinkage and particularly gooddenoising results has been achieved. We debate that any denoising methods can be used to replace wavelet shrinkage in our PCA+wavelet shrinkage algorithm. The major difference between this work and our previous PCA-baseddenoising method is that we consider a mixture of Gaussian and shot noise in this work whereas our previous methods studied Gaussian white noise alone. In addition, we retain k(1) (k(1) < d) PCA output components in our forward PCA transform in this paper whereas we keep all PCA output components (k(1) < d) in our previous works. The d above is the number of spectral bands in the original hyperspectral imagery data cube. In addition, PCA is much better than nonlinear PCA for hyperspectral imagery denoising when Gaussian white noise and shot noise are introduced as demonstrated in this paper. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the method proposed in this paper outperforms the existing methods significantly in terms of signal-to-noise ratio for two testing hyperspectral imagery data cubes.

In this study, we investigate the capability of the well-known maximum likelihood expectation maximization (MLEM) method in handling the incomplete sinogram reconstruction. MLEM method is known to be able to deal with the missing parts via system matrix modeling. We propose sequentially applied regularized MLEM method for the image reconstruction from the incomplete sinograms. Median filtering (MEd), L-filtering (L) andblockmatching3d (BM3d) filtering were employed as spatial domain regularizers, separately. The MLEM method was applied sequentially by decreasing gradually the amount of the regularization when the image update between the consecutive iterations was negligible. The sequential application of the MLEM method is used to compensate for the blurring caused by the regularization filters. In order to test the proposed approach thoroughly, we constructed wide test dataset consisting of three sparse sinograms (by using 25%, 10% and 5.5% of the sinogram data), the ECAT HRRT type sinogram (81.2% of the sinogram data), ClearPET type sinogram (88.3% of the sinogram data), AX-PET type sinogram (56% of the sinogram data) and a hypothetical checkerboard type sinogram (50% of the sinogram data) of the Shepp-Logan phantom. The constructed incomplete sinograms were contaminated with the Poisson noise. The incomplete sinograms were reconstructed by using filtered backprojection, MLEM without filtering, MLEM with MEd, MLEM with L and MLEM with BM3dfiltering. We evaluated the approach visually and with the quantitative normalized mean square error (NMSE). The results showed that MLEM without filtering cannot correct the artifacts related to the missing sinogram bins for some of the generated incomplete sinograms. On the other hand, MLEM method with spatial regularization filter was able to provide successfully reconstructed images for all cases. Quantitative NMSE values were in parallel with the visual impression of the reconstructed images.
