- Abstract
In the catenary status detection system based on the image processing, quality of the captured catenary image is critical. In order to obtain a high quality image for further analysis, this paper proposes a new catenary image denoising method based on lifting wavelet-based contourlet transform with cycle shift-invariance (LWBCTCS). In this method, the lifting wavelet is first constructed based on wavelet transform (WT). Then, to decrease the redundancy of contourlet transform (CT), the lifting wavelet-based contourlet transform (LWBCT) is built by using the lifting wavelet to replace the Laplacian pyramid (LP) transform of CT. Finally, the LWBCT with the cycle shift-invariance (LWBCTCS) algorithm is combined to reduce the pseudo-Gibbs phenomena of LWBCT. The proposed method not only has the virtues of multi-scale and multi-direction, but also reduces the visual artifacts in the denoised image. The results of comparative experiments with captured catenary image show that the proposed method can achieve satisfactory denoising performance, in particular, for catenary image with abundant texture and detail outline information. It not only eliminates noise but also preserves the textures and details simultaneously. Besides, comprehensive consideration of the denoising performance shows that the proposed algorithm in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and mean squared error (MSE) is stable than those conventional denoising algorithms, including WT, CT, curvelet transform (CV) and BLS-GSM methods. The visual quality as well as quantitative metrics is superior than those conventional denoising methods.
