Block shrinkage of T. Cai for estimating image

Abstract

The basic principle of the classical work of wavelet methods is that the empirical wavelet coefficients are shrunk, thresholded, or both shrunk and threshold level by level based on their volumes. A block wavelet shrinkage strategy that depends on neighboring coefficients, where the wavelet coefficients are divided into multiple groups, is proposed. That means the thresholding of coefficients in the middle of each block depends on the whole block’s data using the decimated wavelet method. The NeighBlock procedure combines the previously found advantages for block thresholding methods with those obtained using information about neighboring coefficients. In this article, we collect an image corrupted with level of noise, then applying Block method to remove the noise. More precisely, the construction is started from collecting image, computing wavelet coefficients, applying the method, then inverse the wavelet coefficients. Wavelet shrinkage is a practical case in regression techniques, particularly when the unknown image has distinctive features; this might cause an unsuitable picture. The biggest challenge in the image is to calculate the wavelet coefficients and to invert these coefficients to the image after treatment. To solve this problem two functions based on the Haar wavelet are built to compute these coefficients and then invert the wavelet coefficients to provide the estimate image. The main idea of a wavelet is to translate a given image to a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) which is usually corrupted by noise; shrink or thresh the wavelet coefficients to decrease the noise impact, then invert the DWT to calculate the proper unknown image. The difference between these tools is that shrinking changes the wavelet coefficients of individual magnitudes, while the thresh keeps shrinking or threshold wavelet coefficients towards zero. The main goal is to compere the proposed method to state-of-the-art methods, and show that the proposed method provides good denoising performance. The asymptotic and numerical performances of the proposed method of the estimator are investigated. In numerical comparisons with different approaches, the proposed estimator method performs excellently. We propose decimated wavelet shrinkage techniques based on neighboring coefficients. Extensive simulations demonstrate that techniques almost always give insignificant results than the classical method for the image.
