To make best use of all available information, an ideal video-denoising algorithm would need to operate in 3-D. Recently, 3-D-patch-based methods that achieved highly competitive denoising performance have also been investigated. They may also be applied in the 3-D transform domain, where soft/hard thresholding or Bayesian estimation is employed to eliminate noise, followed by an inverse 3-D transform that brings the signal back to the space-time domain. These methods may operate in the space-time domain by adaptive weighted local averaging, 3-D order-statistic filtering, 3-D Kalman filtering, or 3-D Markov-model-based filtering. Three-dimensional Video-denoising schemes treat video sequences as 3-D volumes. In the video BM3D (VBM3D) method, similar patches in both intra and interframe are aggregated before a two-stage 3-D collaborative filtering algorithm is employed for noise removal. This is followed by transform- and shrinkage-based denoising procedures. In, multiple similar patches in neighboring frames that may not reside along a single trajectory are found. By incorporating motion compensation processes, state-of-the-art image denoising algorithms were extended to video, leading to the ST-GSM, and video SURE-LET algorithms. Advanced 2-D approaches explore the correlation between adjacent frames. Since the correlation between neighboring frames isĬompletely ignored, these methods do not make use of all available information. The simplest 2-D approaches denoise the video frame by frame by employing 2- D still-image denoising algorithms, for which well-known and state-of-the-art algorithms include spatially adaptive 2-D Wiener filtering (Wiener-2-D), Bayes least-square estimation based on the Gaussian scale mixture model (BLS- GSM), nonlocal means, K-SVD, Steins unbiased risk estimator-linear expansion of threshold (SURE-LET), and block matching and 3-D transform shrinkage (BM3D). Existing video denoising algorithms may be classified into 2-D and 3-D approaches. to enhance perceived video quality, and to help improve the performance of subsequent processes, such as compression segmentation and object detection, recognition, and tracking. Spatial domain denoising is usually done with weighted averaging within local 2-D or 3-D windows, where the weights can be either fixed or adapted based on the local image content. Video denoising algorithms may be roughly classified based on two different criteria: whether they are implemented in the spatial domain or transform domain and whether motion information is directly incorporated. Removing/reducing noise in video signals (or video denoising) is highly desirable, as it can enhance perceived image quality, increase compression effectiveness, facilitate transmission bandwidth reduction, and improve the accuracy of the possible subsequent processes such as feature extraction, object detection, motion tracking and pattern classification. Video signals are often contaminated by noise during acquisition and transmission. Keywords polyview fusion, video denoising, video quality enhancement, PSNR. Where the improvement over state-of-the-art denoising algorithms is often more than 2 dB in PSNR.
And the extensive tests using a variety of base video-denoising algorithms show that the proposed method leads to surprisingly significant and consistent gain in terms of PSNR. A fusion algorithm is then designed to merge the resulting multiple denoised videos into one, so that the visual quality of the fused video is improved. The idea is to denoise the noisy video as a 3-D volume using a given base 2-D denoising algorithm but applied from multiple views (front, top, and side views). Here the proposed algorithm is a effective strategy that aims to enhance the performance of existing video denoising algorithms. It can enhance the perceived quality of video signals, and can also help improve the performance of subsequent processes such as com-press ion, segmentation, and object recognition.
