Denoising of an image refers to the process of reconstruction of a signal from noisy images. Denoising is done to remove unwanted noise from image to analyze it in better form. It refers to one of the major pre-processing steps. There are four functions in opencv which is used for denoising of different images.
Syntax: cv2.fastNlMeansDenoisingColored( P1, P2, float P3, float P4, int P5, int P6)
Parameters:
P1 – Source Image Array
P2 – Destination Image Array
P3 – Size in pixels of the template patch that is used to compute weights.
P4 – Size in pixels of the window that is used to compute a weighted average for the given pixel.
P5 – Parameter regulating filter strength for luminance component.
P6 – Same as above but for color components // Not used in a grayscale image.
Below is the implementation:
# importing libraries import numpy as np import cv2 from matplotlib import pyplot as plt # Reading image from folder where it is stored img = cv2.imread( 'bear.png' ) # denoising of image saving it into dst image dst = cv2.fastNlMeansDenoisingColored(img, None , 10 , 10 , 7 , 15 ) # Plotting of source and destination image plt.subplot( 121 ), plt.imshow(img) plt.subplot( 122 ), plt.imshow(dst) plt.show() |
