Multilevel adaptive thresholding and shrinkage technique for denoising using Daubechies complex wavelet transform

TLDR

Abstract
In this paper, we have proposed a multilevel soft thresholding technique for noise removal in Daubechies complex wavelet transform domain. Two useful properties of Daubechies complex wavelet transform, approximate shift invariance and strong edge representation, have been explored. Most of the uncorrelated noise gets removed by shrinking complex wavelet coefficients at the lowest level, while correlated noise gets removed by only a fraction at lower levels, so we used multilevel thresholding and shrinkage on complex wavelet coefficients. The proposed method firstly detects strong edges using imaginary components of complex coefficients and then applies multilevel thresholding and shrinkage on complex wavelet coefficients in the wavelet domain at non-edge points. The proposed threshold depends on the variance of wavelet coefficients, the mean and the median of absolute wavelet coefficients at a particular level. Dependence of these parameters makes this method adaptive in nature. Results obtained f...
