Abstract

We propose a technique for image enhancement, especially for denoising and deblocking based on wavelets. In this proposed algorithm, a frame wavelet system designed as an optimal edge detector is used. And our theory depends on Lipschitz regularity, spatial correlation, and some important assumptions. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on three popular test images in image processing area. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is better than those of other previous denoising techniques like spatial averaging filter, Gaussian filter, median filter, Wiener filter, and some other wavelet based filters in the aspect of both PSNR and human visual system. The experimental results also show that our algorithm has approximately same capability of deblocking as those of previous developed techniques.
