| Nonparametric Empirical-Bayes Approach for Patch-Based MRI Denoising |
| Suyash P. Awate, Ross T. Whitaker Feature-Preserving MRI Denoising: A Nonparametric Empirical Bayes Approach IEEE Trans. Med. Imaging 2007, 26(9):1242-1255 |
| Bayesian Image Denoising: A Key Problem (1) How to model the prior (i.e. Markov statistics of noiseless signal) ? (2) How to estimate the prior ? |
| Challenges Using Pre-Tuned Parametric
Priors (1) Strong models on signal (2) Parameters of the model tuned (incorrectly) by hand or via training  |
| Key Idea : Nonparametric Empirical-Bayes
Estimation (1) Model the prior, i.e. Markov statistics of the noiseless signal, using nonparametric statistical schemes (2) Estimate the prior from the image that is to be denoised, knowing the noise model (3) Use this estimate of the prior for optimal Bayesian denoising Estimating the Prior  |
