Improved adaptive wavelet threshold for image denoising

Adaptive wavelet threshold for Bayes shrink (Bayes threshold) is a simple and effective method for image denoising. Multiple wavelet representations have excellent performance in image denoising. In this paper, combining the multiple wavelet representations with the Bayes threshold and using their advantages in image denoising, proposes a new image denoising algorithm which called M-Bayes threshold. It is simple and effective. Simulation results show that the proposed M-Bayes threshold can achieve the state-of-the-art image denoising performance at the low computational complexity.
