Abstract:
In this paper, a new wavelet shrinkage denoising algorithm is presented. The algorithm uses wavelet transform (WT) to extract information about sharp variation in multiresolution images and applies shrinkage function adapting the image features. The features are detected by energy of neighboring pixels, whereas in standard wavelet methods, the empirical wavelet coefficients shrink pixel by pixel, on the basis of their individual magnitude. The shrinkage function is optimized by differential Evolution (DE)
