Abstract

Most simple nonlinear thresholding rules for wavelet-based denoising assume the wavelet coefficients are independent. However, wavelet coefficients of natural images have significant dependency. In this paper, a new heavy-tailed bivariate pdf is proposed to model the statistics of wavelet coefficients, and a simple nonlinear threshold function (shrinkage function) is derived from the pdf using Bayesian estimation theory. The new shrinkage function does not assume the independence of wavelet coefficients.
