A NOVEL APPROACH FOR NOISE REDUCTION IN THE GABOR TIME-FREQUENCY DOMAIN

Abstract

In this paper, a noise reduction technique is introduced based on the Gabor time-frequency transform. In the proposed approach, noise is removed using low pass filters locally in the transform domain. Finding the cut-off frequency for the low pass filters in such a way that image does not loose its features, is an important issue. The optimal cut-off frequency of the low pass filters are computed in an iterative method for each sub-block of the image. The followed approach, besides showing a good performance in removing noise, it also performs well in preserving image features.
