The invention discloses an
infrared image
hybrid noise reduction method based on
noise recognition, which comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out 3 * 3 median filtering on a near-
infrared image by using a filter to obtain an image only containing
Gaussian noise, and then carrying out
wavelet transform denoising
processing on the image; secondly, after wave
decomposition, main information of the image being almost all distributed in a low-frequency sub-band, and
processing of a low-frequency part being often omitted in order to prevent important information from being damaged during denoising; performing
thresholding processing on the
wavelet coefficient of the high-frequency region after image
decomposition, and then performing median filtering again by adopting a 5 * 5 filter; and finally, performing
wavelet reconstruction by using the wavelet coefficient of each sub-band to obtain a denoised image. Through the above mode, compared with a single denoising method, the
hybrid noise reduction method can more effectively remove noise and improve the
signal-to-noise ratio of the near-
infrared face image in view of the denoising effect of the collected night
infrared image, and edge details of the image are well reserved.
