A method of image processing using kernel regression is provided. An image gradient is estimated from original data that is analyzed for local structures by computing a scaling parameter, a rotation parameter and an elongation parameter using singular value decomposition on local gradients of the estimated gradients locally to provide steering matrices. A steering kernel regression having steering matrices is applied to the original data to provide a reconstructed image and new image gradients. The new gradients are analyzed using singular value decomposition to provide new steering matrices. The steering kernel regression with the new steering matrices is applied to the noisy data to provide a new reconstructed image and further new gradients. The last two steps are repeated up to ten iterations to denoise the original noisy data and improve the local image structure.

In training data, a similarity matrix is generated for each of types of data corresponding to different kernels, and graph Laplacians are formed individually from the similarity matrices. An entire graph Laplacian is defined as linear combination of the individual graph Laplacians with coupling constants. Observation variables and latent variables associated therewith are assumed to form normal distributions, and the coupling constants are assumed to form a gamma distribution. Then, on the basis of a variational Bayesian method, a variance of the observation variables and the coupling constants can be figured out with a reasonable computational cost. Once the variance of the observation variables and the coupling constants are figured out, a predictive distribution for any input data can be figured out by means of a Laplace approximation.
