In this paper, a novel noise level estimation technique is presented based on skewness fitting. The difference between exact skewness and observed value on each channel contributes to an objective function. The skewness concentration is helpful to guarantee the reasonability of the model. The optimal solution means an estimation of the noise variance and it is easy to be applied in some parametric denoising model. The accuracy and efficiency of proposed algorithm were verified by the numerical experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
