ADAPTIVE VIDEO DENOISING USING DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORM

Abstract

This paper proposes a spatial video de-noising method based on adaptive filtering and temporal filtering as it requires less computation time and suitable for real-time applications. video de-noising rely on spatial adaptive temporal filtering is offered. Initially in the adaptive spatial filtering, DWT (discrete wavelet transfer) is applied on all frame. These co-efficient are used to alter trained co-efficients stored in knowledge base by means of adaptive spatial filter. On the further hand, the motion estimation is performed on every frame and the estimated results are used to guide the temporal filtering on noisy frame. Later on processing, two de-noised frames are obtained, one obtained from recursive temporal filtering and another obtained from adaptive spatial temporal filtering. Finally, by weighting between two de-noised frames, a satisfactory result can be obtained. Later all the de-noised frames are combined to get the de-noised video. In this work, we introduce a trade-off between the quality of denoised video and time required for denoising. The results show that proposed method is suitable for real time applications while giving high quality videos at relatively low noise level.
