Conventional Wavelet Threshold Denoising Methods

Resource Overview

Conventional wavelet threshold denoising methods operate under the assumption that wavelet coefficients are independent, neglecting their correlations across adjacent scales, which results in an inherent trade-off between noise removal and preservation of useful high-frequency information.

Detailed Documentation

In traditional wavelet threshold denoising methods, wavelet coefficients are assumed to be mutually independent, without considering their correlations across adjacent scales. This limitation often creates a dilemma between preserving valuable high-frequency information and achieving effective noise reduction. To address this issue, recent advancements have introduced novel techniques that incorporate the correlations among wavelet coefficients, thereby achieving a better balance between denoising performance and high-frequency signal retention. From an implementation perspective, these improved methods typically involve modifying threshold selection algorithms (such as Stein's Unbiased Risk Estimate - SURE) or employing scale-adaptive thresholding schemes that account for inter-scale dependencies through correlation models or Bayesian frameworks.
