Abstract

Traditional image processing approaches have separated the problem of noise reduction and data compression, in a sense that the image is processed at various stages, each proposed to address specific data redundancies. Compression techniques based on Wavelets have addressed the combination of noise reduction and compression more effectively due to the application of thresholding. With that, however, the disadvantage of manual thresholding and selection of best estimating Wavelet basis is an associated limitation. This thesis will present a development of two-dimensional Adaptive Minimum Description Length (AMDL) algorithm and further expand it to an Adaptive Image Estimate by incorporating the Mean Square Error for selection of the ‘best’ threshold in reference to the ‘best’ available Wavelet basis resulting a simultaneous noise reduction and compression of images. This approach may have applications in analyzing any noisy image such as images captured by satellites on a cloudy day, medical or industrial microscopic images containing interference, and the list goes on ....
