Adaptive Noise Compensation Method in Intraskopic Imaging Based on Wavelet Analysis and Local Contrast Filtering
Keywords
Abstract
The article presents a novel method for enhancing the quality of intraskopic images, based on adaptive noise compensation through the combination of wavelet decomposition and local contrast filtering. The relevance of the problem is determined by the fact that modern medical imaging systems often produce images with low contrast, significant noise levels, uneven illumination, and motion artifacts, which complicates accurate diagnostic interpretation. The problem is formulated as an inverse signal restoration task. An algorithm for constructing a filtering sequence is proposed, which involves multilevel wavelet decomposition, adaptive processing of detail coefficients, and signal reconstruction, followed by the application of CLAHE, guided filtering, and bilateral smoothing. Simulation and experimental studies were carried out in MATLAB R2023a using publicly available medical datasets (Kvasir, HyperKvasir, EndoVis).
The results demonstrated that the method significantly improves PSNR and SSIM metrics, reduces NIQE and BRISQUE values, and preserves the textural informativeness of anatomical structures. Comparison with classical methods (histogram equalization, CLAHE, bilateral filtering) confirmed the higher efficiency of the proposed approach, which is particularly important for diagnostics in endoscopy, gastroscopy, and dental intraskopy. The obtained results highlight the advantages of the proposed method over baseline approaches in preserving textural information and enhancing local contrast.
The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of integrating the method into real-time systems to improve diagnostic accuracy and minimize the risk of missed pathologies. The developed method opens up prospects for application in clinical practice, telemedicine, and decision-support systems.
