| Abstract: |
Wavelet domain statistical modeling of images has focused on modeling the peaked heavy-tailed behavior of the marginal distribution and on modeling the dependencies between coefficients that are adjacent (in location and/or scale). In this paper we describe the extension of the Laplace marginal model to the multivariate case so that groups of wavelet coefficients can be modeled together using Laplace marginal models. We derive the nonlinear MAP and MMSE shrinkage functions for a Laplace vector in Gaussian noise and provide computationally efficient approximations to them. The development depends on the generalized incomplete Gamma function. |
