This paper presents a new method for de-noising of images while preserving meaningful details such as blurred thin edges and low-contrast fine features using an adaptive threshold in singular value decomposition. The existing singular value decomposition technique utilizes a global fixed threshold for entire image and does not discriminate the noisy data from the image information for the images having uneven background. In this paper, different thresholds for the different structured portions of the image have been calculated in accordance with local gradient and gray level variance at each pixel position of those portions of the image. An optimal threshold has been estimated by the analysis of signal to noise ratios of the singular value decomposed images for different thresholds. Experimental results from a variety of test images have shown that the proposed thresholding scheme on singular value decomposed images can effectively smooth noisy background along with edge preservation and restoration of fine details in the enhanced image. |
