Abstract

Denoising is expected to improve the image quality and the performance of analysis. Combining the nonlocal-means filter and the mean-shift method, we derive a nonlocal weights estimator considering not only similarity of intensity but also the spatial relationship between image blocks. Filtering is performed in each image block and the center pixel is restored by an oriented filter. Experimental results show the performance of the proposed method in improving the signal-to-noise ratio and preserving local textures.
