Abstract
Groups of mutually similar image blocks are the key element in nonlocal image processing. In this work, the spatial coordinates of grouped blocks are leveraged in two distinct parts of the transform-domain collaborative filtering within the BM3D algorithm. First, we introduce an adaptive 1-D transform for 3-D collaborative filtering based on sampling 2-D smooth functions at the positions of grouped blocks. This adaptive transform is applied for improved decorrelation of the 2-D spectra of the grouped blocks. Second, we propose a directional sharpening procedure whose strength varies adaptively according to the relative orientation of the transform basis functions with respect to the group coordinates. Experiments confirm the efficacy of the proposed adaptations, for denoising as well as for sharpening of noisy images.
