Image processing apparatus and method

摘要

An image processing apparatus and method are disclosed. The apparatus may include: a wavelet transform device for performing wavelet transform on an input image to decompose the input image into a plurality of levels of different scales, each level including a low frequency component and a plurality of high frequency components; a compensation template generating device for generating a compensation template for each level according to the plurality of high frequency components in the level, the compensation template reflecting combination feature of the plurality of high frequency components; a de-noising device for de-noising the low frequency component of each level and performing edge compensation on the low frequency component with the compensation template to acquire a compensated low frequency component; and a wavelet inverse transform device for performing inverse wavelet transform with the compensated low frequency component and the high frequency components of each level to acquire a de-noised image.

1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
a wavelet transform device for performing wavelet transform on an input image to decompose the input image into a plurality of levels of different scales, each level including a low frequency component and a plurality of high frequency components; a compensation template generating device for generating a compensation template for each level according to the plurality of high frequency components in the level obtained from the wavelet transform, the compensation template reflecting combination features of the plurality of high frequency components of the level; a de-noising device for de-noising the low frequency component of each level and performing edge compensation after de-noising the low frequency component of the level by using the compensation template of the level to acquire a compensated low frequency component; and a wavelet inverse transform device for performing inverse wavelet transform with the compensated low frequency component and the high frequency components of each level, to acquire a de-noised image, wherein the compensation template generating device is configured to calculate sum of the plurality of high frequency components in each level acquired by the wavelet transform device, and expand or diffuse the sum of the high frequency components of each level, as the compensation template, wherein the de-noising device comprises a low frequency component compensating device for weighting a removed component that is removed as noise by the de-noising device with the compensation template of the level and compensating the de-noised low frequency component with the weighted removed component, and wherein, when a value at a certain location of the compensation template is greater than a threshold, the low frequency component compensating device does not enhance the removed component.
