A novel image multiscale geometric transform method is proposed. It is composed of pre-processing
directional filterbank and optimized directional wavelet transform. After pre-processing the image
the high frequency components are decomposed into several directional subbands by directional filterbank
and the modified optimized-directional wavelet transform is performed for each directional subband. The transform has the characteristics of multiscale geometric analysis of both Bandelet and Contourlet transforms
and it represents the edges and texture features more sparsely. The EBCOT coder and hard-threshold denoising are applied to the transform coefficients individually so as to realize efficient image compression and denoising and preserve the image details well. The experiments show that the proposed image compression and denoising method can significantly outperform those that are based on Bandelet or Contourlet transform in visual quality for the images with abundant edges and texture
and the peak signal to noise ratio is also increased by more than 0.1 dB.
