Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method to remove noise in digital images. Our method is based on the wellknown variational approach. The novelty of proposed method consists in removing of mixed Poisson- Gaussian noise. This is the actual problem for many types of real raster images, for example, biomedical images. Our method is developed with the goal to combine two famous models: ROF for removing Gaussian noise and modified ROF for removing Poisson noise. As a result, our proposed method can be also applied to remove Gaussian or Poisson noise separately. We develop procedure to perform noise removal with automatically evaluated parameters to get the best result of denoising.
