Abstract

Image noise reduction filtering by low-pass/high-pass filtering to get a hierarchical representation, modifying coefficients in each hierarchy level for noise suppression, and the modified level combination to yield a noise-filtered image. The noise suppression within levels preserves edges which the representation preserves.
