Abstract

Research good representation is a problem in image processing for this, our works are focused in developing and proposes some new transform which can represent the edge of image more efficiently, Among these transform we find the wavelet and ridgelet transform these both types transforms are not optimal for images with complex geometry, so we replace this two types classical transform with other effectiveness transform named bandelet transform, this transform is appropriate for the analysis of edges of the images and can preserve the detail information of high frequency of noisy image. De-noising is one of the most interesting and widely investigated topics in image processing area. In order to eliminate noise we exploit in this paper the geometrical advantages offered by the bandelet transform to solve the problem of image de-noising. To arrive to determine which type transform allows us high quality visual image, a comparison is made between bandelet, curvelet, ridgelet and wavelet transform, after determining the best transform, we going to determine which type of image is adapted to this transform. Numerically, we show that bandelet transform can significantly outperform and gives good performances for medical image type TOREX, and this is justified by a higher PSNR value for gray images.
