Performance evaluation and comparison of modified denoising method and the local adaptive wavelet image denoising method

Removal of noise is an important step in the image restoration process, but denoising of image remains a challenging problem in recent research associate with image processing. Denoising is used to remove the noise from corrupted image, while retaining the edges and other detailed features as much as possible. This noise gets introduced during acquisition, transmission & reception and storage & retrieval processes. In this paper, to find out denoised image the modified denoising method and the local adaptive wavelet image denoising method can be used. The noisy image is denoised by modified denoising method which is based on wavelet domain and spatial domain and the local adaptive wavelet image denoising method which is based on wavelet domain. In this paper, we have evaluated and compared performances of modified denoising method and the local adaptive wavelet image denoising method. These methods are compared with other based on PSNR (Peak signal to noise ratio) between original image and noisy image and PSNR between original image and denoised image. Simulation and experiment results for an image demonstrate that RMSE of the local adaptive wavelet image denoising method is least as compare to modified denoising method and the PSNR of the local adaptive wavelet image denoising method is high than other method. Therefore, the image after denoising has a better visual effect. In this paper, these two methods are implemented by using MATLAB for denoising of image.
