Destriping method based on transform domain
To remove the stripe noise from the line scan images, a transform domain destriping method which combined Fourier transform and wavelet decomposition was proposed. Firstly, the image was decomposed using multi-resolution wavelet decomposition to separate the subband which contained the stripe noise from other subbands. Then the subband that contained stripe noise was transformed into Fourier coefficients. The Fourier coefficients were processed by a band-stop filter to remove the stripe noise. The live collected cotton foreign fiber images with stripe noise were used in the simulation experiment. The experimental results indicate that the proposed approach which combined Fourier transform with wavelet decomposition can effectively remove the stripe noise from the image while preserving the characteristics of the original image. It gets better destriping effect than just using Fourier transform or wavelet decomposition separately.
