Novel speckle reduction for medical ultrasound images based on edge preservation
A novel speckle reduction for medical ultrasound images is presented based on the study of wavelet domain threshold-denoising and threshold-choosing. First
the logarithmic transform of the original image is decomposed into the multiscale wavelet domain. Then
semi-soft thresholding is used to reduce speckle noise. Finally
the denoised image is achieved by the invert DWT and the exponient transform of the estimated wavelet coefficients. Current state-of-the-art soft and hard thresholding methods based on universal threshold have been applied in actual ultrasound medical images. Compared with our method
the achieved performance improvement is quantified. Performance of the proposed method has been tested on Ultrasound images. The results show the method effectively reduces the speckle while preserving the edges of the original image.
