Abstract

In this paper, we present an efficient noise reduction method using bivariate Gaussian density function in the wavelet domain. In our method, the probability model for the interstate dependency in the wavelet domain is modeled by bivariate Gaussian function, and then, the noise reduction is performed by Bayesian estimation. The statistical parameter for Bayesian estimation can be approximately obtained by the $H{\ddot{o}}lder$ inequality. The simulation results show that our method outperforms the previous methods using bivariate probability models.

본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 영역에서 이변수 가우스 확률밀도함수를 이용하여 잡음을 효과적으로 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문의 방법은 웨이블릿 영역의 스케일간의 관계에 대한 통계적 모델을 이변수 가우스 확률분포로 설정하고, 이에 대한 베이즈 추정법을 통하여 잡음 제거를 수행한다. 베이즈 추정법을 위한 통계 파라메터는 $H{\ddot{o}}lder$ 부등식을 이용하여 근사적으로 추정한다. 실험 결과를 통하여 본 논문의 방법이 기존의 이변수 사전 확률모델을 이용한 잡음 제거 방법에 비하여 우수한 결과를 보여 준다는 것을 알 수 있다.
