An image enhancement method that reduces speckle noise and preserves edges is introduced. The method is based on a new nonlinear multiscale reconstruction scheme that is obtained by successively combining each coarser scale image with the corresponding modified interscale image. Simulation results are included to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.

Image enhancement by morphological pyramid decomposition and modified reconstruction
TLDR
An algorithm for multiresolution pyramid decomposition offers a method for edge-preserving noise (speckle) suppression, in which only a minor number of multiplications is required.
Ultrasonic speckle suppression based on a novel multiscale thresholding technique
In this paper, a novel multiscale speckle suppression method is proposed for ultrasonic images. An original image is transformed into a multiscale curvelet domain and the thresholding estimators are…
A Novel Threshold Technique for Eliminating Speckle Noise In Ultrasound Images
Ultrasound images are degraded as they contain speckle noise. Recently image denoising using the wavelet transform has been attracting much attention. The work in this paper includes different…

TLDR
A new full-reference method for objective evaluation of such features in grayscale pictures is presented, based on the classification of the filtering errors in two classes that respectively take into account the amount of noise still present after processing and the actual distortion produced by the filter.
A Suitable Threshold for Speckle Reduction in Ultrasound Images
TLDR
The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed denoising method increases the medical image quality and, therefore, it can be a useful tool in medical diagnosis.
Ultrasound image enhancement using an adaptive anisotropic diffusion filter
TLDR
The proposed algorithm is based on the anisotropic diffusion equation of Perona and Malik, and introduces a new implementation to determine the scale space parameter of the diffusion function in an adaptive manner and to ensure the convergence process.
A novel multiscale nonlinear thresholding method for ultrasonic speckle suppressing
This paper presents a novel speckle suppression method for medical B-scan ultrasonic images. An original image is first separated into two parts with an adaptive filter. These two parts are then…
Multi-Scale Nonlinear Thresholding for Ultrasonic Speckle Suppression
TLDR
This technique effectively reduces the speckle noise, while preserving the resolvable details, and performs well in comparison to the multiscale thresholding technique without adaptive preprocessing and two otherSpeckle-suppression methods.

Regularized reconstruction to reduce blocking artifacts of block discrete cosine transform compressed images
TLDR
The reconstruction of images from incomplete block discrete cosine transform (BDCT) data is examined and two methods are proposed for solving this regularized recovery problem based on the theory of projections onto convex sets (POCS) and the constrained least squares (CLS).
