The OIV.ImageViz.Engines.ImageFiltering.SmoothingAndDenoising.SoNonLocalMeansFilterProcessing engine implements the non-local means algorithm for image denoising.
The algorithm computes a weighted mean of a large set of voxels (search windows) around the voxel to be denoised (target voxel). The voxel weight in the search window is a function of the similarity between this voxel and the target voxel. A voxel very similar to the target voxel will be assigned to a weight close to 1.0. A voxel very different from the target voxel will be assigned to a weight close to 0 and will have a small impact on the final denoised value.
The similarity between a voxel and the target voxel is based on the squared intensity differences between 2 patches of size OIV.ImageViz.Engines.ImageFiltering.SmoothingAndDenoising.SoNonLocalMeansFilterProcessing.patchSize centered on the current voxel and the target voxel.
Images are often corrupted by noise because of acquisition process. For an image defined on which is the image domain, the noise added by acquisition is assimilated to an additive white gaussian noise: where
The denoised image is an estimation of as following: with where:
is the similarity criterion (sum of squared differences)
is the similarity
is the indicator function of the search region
and is the indicator function of the patch region.
The algorithm looks for matches within the search window area around each voxel.
The naive implementation of previous equation has a complexity of that can be reduced to where N*M*Q is the dimension of the input image, P is the OIV.ImageViz.Engines.ImageFiltering.SmoothingAndDenoising.SoNonLocalMeansFilterProcessing.patchSize and S is the OIV.ImageViz.Engines.ImageFiltering.SmoothingAndDenoising.SoNonLocalMeansFilterProcessing.kernelSize.
