Multivariate quasi-Laplacian mixture models for wavelet-based image denoising

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

In this paper we introduce a class of multivariate quasi-Laplacian models as a generalization of the single-variable Laplacian distribution to multi-dimensions. A mixture model is used as the wavelet coefficient prior for the wavelet-based Bayesian image denoising algorithm. As a multivariate probability model, it is able to capture the intra-scale or inter-scale dependencies among wavelet coefficients. Two special cases are studied for orthogonal transform based image denoising. Efficient parameter estimation methods and denoising rules are derived for the two cases. Denoising results are compared with existing techniques in both PSNR values and visual qualities.
