Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to develop a method for denoising images corrupted with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The noise degrades quality of the images and makes interpretations, analysis and segmentation of images harder. The discrete curvelet transform is a new image representation approach that codes image edges more efficiently than the wavelet transform. On the other hand the wavelet transform codes homogeneous areas better than the curvelet transform. In this paper the translation invariant combined denoising algorithm (TICDA) is proposed. The algorithm is implemented by combining the undecimated discrete wavelet transform (UDWT) and the translation invariant discrete curvelet transform (TIDCT). The AWGN image is then denoised by letting the TICDA solve an l1 optimization problem.
