Destriping of TDI-CCD remote sensing image

摘要

Based on the characteristic of striping noise in remote sensing images, a new destriping technique for the improved threshold function using lifting wavelet transform is presented in this letter. It can overcome the shortcoming of the hard threshold function and soft threshold function. The lifting wavelet transform is easily realized. Also it is inexpensive in computer time and storage space compared with the traditional wavelet transform. We also compare the improved threshold function with some traditional threshold functions both by visual inspection and by appropriate indexes of quality of the denoised images. Evaluations of the results based on several image quality indexes indicate that image quality has been improved after destriping. The destriped images are not only visually more plausible but also suitable for computerized analysis and it did better than the existed ones.
