Abstract

Denoising of color images is a trade‐off between sharpness of an image and perceived noise. We formulate a novel optimization problem that can maximize sharpness of an image while limiting the perceived noise under a model of visibility of additive random noise. We derive a closed‐form expression for an optimal two‐dimensional finite impulse response filter, show its uniqueness and existence, and present simulation results for black and white as well as color images. Simulation results show remarkable reduction in perceptibility of noise, while preserving sharpness. The computational burden required for the optimal filter is reduced by a new adhoc filter which is simple but has near optimal performance. Β© 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Noise suppression in multichannel data sets, such as color images, has drawn much attention in the last few years. An issue of paramount importance in designing color image filters is the determination of the coefficients that should be used to weight the inputs to the filter. In this study, we prop

## Abstract In this article, we study the modeling of interchannel dependency and its application into removing additive noise from corrupted color images. We start from an ad hoc spatially invariant linear interpolative model for characterizing color‐difference and demonstrate how it can be jointl

Gamut mapping is a color transformation technique to solve a problem caused by mismatch of gamuts among imaging devices. One plausible goal of gamut mapping is to find a reproduction that is perceptually closest to the corresponding original image when an exact color matching is not possible. Severa
