Title A name given to the resource Despeckling of Ultra sound Images using spatial filters - A Fusion Approach Subject The topic of the resource BNLM; Frost; Fusion; LEE; speckle noise; Ultra sound image Description An account of the resource Ultra sound images are normally affected by speckle noise which is typically multiplicative in nature. This study proposes different fusion based despeckling methods for ultra sound images. The output of existing spatial domain despeckling methods viz. Lee filter, Bayesian Non Local Means (BNLM) filter and Frost filter are fused pairwise. Fusion is implemented in two steps, first an inter-scale stationary wavelet coefficient fusion followed by an intra-scale wavelet coefficient fusion. Analysis of these projected despeckling strategies are conducted using metrics like Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Equivalent Number of Looks (ENL), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and Universal Image Quality Index (UIQI). The results show that the performance of fusion based methods is better than the respective individual filters for despeckling ultra sound images. 2019 IEEE.
