A Survey on Various Image De-noising Methods
Abstract: Image de-noising is a classical yet fundamental problem in low level vision, as well as an ideal test bed to evaluate various statistical image modeling methods. The restoration of a blurry or noisy image is commonly performed with a maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) estimator, which maximizes a posterior probability to reconstruct a clean image from a degraded image. A MAP estimator, when used with a sparse gradient image prior, …
