In this paper, the proposed method is implemented for removal of salt & pepper and Gaussian noise of black & white & color images toacquire the quality output. In this work initially wavelet coefficients are extracted for noisy images. Later apply denoise filteringtechnique on the high transform sub bands of noisy images (either color/ B & W) using new laplacian filters with 4 directions. Finallythreshold of an image is generated to extract denoisy coefficients. At last inverse of above subband coefficients can give denoise imagefor further processing. The proposed method is verified against various B & W/color images and it gives a better PSNR (Peak Signal toNoise Ratio) & MI (Mutual Information). These values are compared with different noise densities and analyzed visually.

“…Geetha et al [11] suggested that the performance of algorithms can be improved by introducing the directional oriented multiresolution transforms such as steerable pyramids, contourlets etc., overlapping of tiles prevents edge effects. Bindu and Kumar [12] further evaluated the performance analysis of multi source (CT, PET and MRI images) fused medical images using multiresolution (combination of DWT and contourlet) transforms. While denoising of computer tomography images using curvelet transforms it has been found that the curvelet transform outperforms the wavelet transform in terms of signal to noise ratio [13,14].…”

Image fusion is used to enhance the quality of images by combining two images of same scene obtained from different techniques. In medical diagnosis by combining the images obtained by Computed Tomography (CT) scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) we get more information and additional data from fused image. This paper presents a hybrid technique using curvelet and wavelet transform used in medical diagnosis. In this technique the image is segmented into bands using wavelet transform, the segmented image is then fused into sub bands using curvelet transform which breaks the bands into overlapping tiles and efficiently converting the curves in images using straight lines. These tiles are integrated together using inverse wavelet transform to produce a highly informative fused image. Wavelet based fusion extracts spatial details from high resolution bands but its limitation lies in the fusion of curved shapes. Therefore for better information and higher resolution on curved shapes we are blending wavelet transform with curvelet transform as we know that curvelet transform deals effectively with curves areas, corners and profiles. These two fusion techniques are extracted and then fused implementing hybrid image fusion algorithm, findings shows that fused image has minimum errors and present better quality results. The peak signal to noise ratio value for the hybrid method was higher in comparison to that of wavelet and curvelet transform fused images. Also we get improved statistics results in terms of Entropy, Peak signal to noise ratio, correlation coefficient, mutual information and edge association. This shows that the quality of fused image was better in case of hybrid method.
