Abstract

This paper presents a novel thresholding function that mixes the soft thresholding functions and Smoothly Clipped Absolute Deviation for denoising images using the decimated wavelet transform technique, which is widely popular in various applications. The proposed method is applied to denoise noisy images contaminated with additive white Gaussian noise, employing the Top rule method. The efficiency of this new thresholding function is also evaluated within the context of the Translation Invariant method. The outcomes are associated with standing methods such as SCAD, soft thresholding, and the Wiener filter-based denoising approach. Parameters such as root mean square error and peak signal to noise ration are employed to assess the quality of denoising.
