TLDR
A new approach for denoising of highly distorted images affected by speckle noise is proposed using bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) cascaded with wavelet transform and wiener filter in a homomorphic framework and provides superior results in comparison to other techniques in form of peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), clarity and preservation of finer details.
