Abstract
This paper presents a novel way to reduce noise introduced or exacerbated by image enhancement methods, in particular algorithms based on the random spray sampling technique, but not only. According to the nature of sprays,
output images of spray-based methods tend to exhibit noise with unknown statistical distribution. To avoid inappropriate assumptions on the statistical characteristics of noise, a different one is made. In fact, the non-enhanced image is
considered to be either free of noise or affected by non-perceivable levels of noise. Taking advantage of the higher sensitivity of the human visual system to changes in brightness, the analysis can be limited to the luma channel of both the
non-enhanced and enhanced image. Also, given the importance of directional content in human vision, the analysis is
performed through the dual-tree complex wavelet transform , lanczos interpolator and edge preserving smoothing filters.
Unlike the discrete wavelet transform, the DTWCT allows for distinction of data directionality in the transform space.
For each level of the transform, the standard deviation of the non-enhanced image coefficients is computed across the
six orientations of the DTWCT, then it is normalized.
Keywords: dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DTWCT), lanczos interpolator, edge preserving smoothing filters.

INTRODUCTION
The central idea to wavelets is to analyze (a signal) according to scale. Imagine a function that oscillates like a
wave in a limited portion of time or space and vanishes
outside of it. The wavelets are such functions: wave-like
but localized. One chooses a particular wavelet, stretches
it ( to meet a given scale) and shifts it, while looking into
its correlations with the analyzed signal. This analysis is
similar to observing the displayed signal (e.g., printed or
shown on the screen) from various distances. The signal
correlations with wavelets stretched to large scales reveal
gross (rude) features, while at small scales fine signal
structures are discovered. It is therefore often said that
the wavelet analysis is to see both the forest and the trees.
In such a scanning through a signal, the scale and the
position can vary continuously or in discrete steps. The
latter case is of practical interest in this thesis. From an
engineering point of view, the discrete wavelet analysis is

LITERATURE
Although the field of image enhancement has been active
since before digital imagery achieved a consumer status,
it has never stopped evolving. The present work introduces a novel multi-resolution denoising method, tailored to
address a specific image quality problem that arises when
using image enhancement algorithms based on random
spray sampling. While inspired by the peculiar problem
of such methods, the proposed approach also works for
other image enhancement methods that either introduce
or exacerbate noise. This work builds and expands on a
previous article by Fierro et al. [1].

CONCLUSION
This project presents a noise reduction method based
on Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform coefficients
shrinkage. The main point of novelty is represented by its
application in post-processing on the output of an image
enhancement method (both the non enhanced image and
the enhanced one are required) and the lack of assumptions on the statistical distribution of noise. On the other
hand, the non-enhanced image is supposed to be noisefree or affected by non perceivable noise.
