This document summarizes several techniques for image denoising. It begins by defining image noise and explaining how noise degrades image quality. It then reviews 7 different published techniques for image denoising, summarizing the key aspects of each technique. These include methods using local spectral component decomposition, SVD-based denoising, patch-based near-optimal denoising, LPG-PCA denoising, trivariate shrinkage filtering, SURE-LET denoising, and 3D transform-domain collaborative filtering. The document concludes that LSCD provides better denoising results according to PSNR analysis and provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in image denoising techniques.
