Application of Daubechies Wavelet Transformation for Noise Rain Reduction on the Video

Abstract

Currently, the use of digital video in the field of computer science is increasingly widespread, such as the process of tracking objects, the calculation of the number of vehicles, the classification of vehicle types, vehicle speed estimation and so forth. The process of taking digital video is often influenced by bad weather, such rain. Rain in digital video is considered noise because it is able to block objects being observed. Therefore, a rainfall noise reduction process is required in the video. In this study, the reduction of rain noise in digital video is using Daubechies wavelet transformation through several processes, namely: wavelet decomposition, fusion process, thresholding process and reconstruction process. The threshold value used in the thresholding process is VishuShrink, BayesShrink, and NormalShrink. The result of the implementation and noise reduction test show that Daubechies db2 level 3 filter gives the result with the biggest PSNR value. As for the type of threshold that provides optimal results is VishuShrink.
