This paper presents a new denoising algorithm capable of effectively removing noise without too much loss of original data. Based on the non-local means (NL-means) algorithm proposed by Buades et al., This approach uses a concept of thresholding weight of neighborhood pixels which have low similarity and applies the three-step search (TSS) technique in order to save computations.
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.
