The Bilateral Denoising Performance Influence of Window, Spatial and Radiometric Variance

Abstract

In the research operation of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Digital Image Processing (DIP), one of the most essential obstacles is the image denoise algorithm by the reason of a very large demand of high quality noise-free images therefore there are many image denoise algorithms have been invented in the time of two decades. Bilateral filter is one of the most impressive and feasible algorithms, which is usually applied for denoise propose, but the performance of the Bilateral filter is substantially bank on three parameters: spatial variance, radiometric variance and window size. Consequently, this paper investigates the performance influence impact of spatial variance, radiometric variance, window size for the Bilateral Filter in the denoise propose. In the denoise experiment, Bilateral filter (BF) is applied on three noisy standard images under five Gaussian noise power levels and the best results in the PSNR prospective point of view from deniose algorithm is picked. Moreover, an optimal value of three parameters: spatial variance, radiometric variance, window size, which make the performance of Bilateral filter the highest PSNR, are extensively investigated for each types of tested images and each noise powers.
