Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal Inversion of the Anscombe Transformation in Low-Count Poisson Image Denoising
TL;DR: This work introduces optimal inverses for the Anscombe transformation, in particular the exact unbiased inverse, a maximum likelihood (ML) inverse, and a more sophisticated minimum mean square error (MMSE) inverse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal Inversion of the Generalized Anscombe Transformation for Poisson-Gaussian Noise
TL;DR: The exact unbiased inverse of the Anscombe transformation is introduced and it is demonstrated that this exact inverse leads to state-of-the-art results without any notable increase in the computational complexity compared to the other inverses.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Closed-Form Approximation of the Exact Unbiased Inverse of the Anscombe Variance-Stabilizing Transformation
TL;DR: The proposed approximation produces results equivalent to those obtained with the accurate (nonanalytical) exact unbiased inverse, and thus, notably better than one would get with the asymptotically unbiased inverse transformation that is commonly used in applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noise parameter mismatch in variance stabilization, with an application to Poisson-Gaussian noise estimation.
TL;DR: It is observed that when combined with optimized rational variance-stabilizing transformations, the algorithm produces results that are competitive with those of a state-of-the-art Poisson-Gaussian estimator.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Denoising of single-look SAR images based on variance stabilization and nonlocal filters
TL;DR: The performance of nonlocal filters applied to the denoising of single-look SAR images corrupted by speckle with a Rayleigh distribution is evaluated, taking advantage of exact forward and inverse variance-stabilizing transformations.
