The invention discloses a
speckle noise suppression method based on a hypercomplex
wavelet amplitude soft threshold and relates to an
image denoising method in the field of
image processing. In order to overcome the defect that the conventional
wavelet threshold cannot reach an optimal effect, the
speckle noise suppression method comprises the following steps of: 1, performing HWT (hypercomplex
wavelet transform) on a
noise image to obtain a hypercomplex wavelet coefficient; 2, converting the hypercomplex wavelet coefficient represented by a real part and an imaginary part into an amplitude-phase representation form; 3, estimating the
noise threshold of the hypercomplex wavelet amplitude coefficient; 4, performing soft threshold
processing on the hypercomplex wavelet amplitude coefficient according to the
noise threshold; and 5, combining the processed hypercomplex wavelet amplitude coefficient and an unprocessed phase
system, and performing hypercomplex wavelet inverse transformation to obtain the
image denoising result. According to the method, the capacity of representing the hypercomplex wavelet phase texture can be exerted, so that the approximate optimal threshold of the
noise suppression is selected; and moreover, the texture structure information of the image is kept, and an
ideal image denoising result is obtained.
