“…An alternative approach (Sorzano et al, 2006) that is formulated as an optimization problem takes advantage of the additive-noise image-formation model and the linearity of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (Mallat, 1999). Since the noise follows a Gaussian distribution with zero mean and variance N , p(n) = G(n, 0, N ), and the signal and noise are assumed to be independent, then p(y | x) = p(n) = G(y − x, 0, N ).…”
