摘要: The popular NL-means denoising algorithm proposes to modify the intensity of each voxel of an image by a weighted sum of the intensities of similar voxels. The success of the NL-means rests on the fact that there are typically enough such similar voxels in natural, and even medical images; in other words, that there is some self-similarity/redundancy in such images. However, similarity between voxels (or rather, between patches around them) is usually only assessed in a spatial neighbourhood of the voxel under study. As the human brain exhibits approximate bilateral symmetry, one could wonder whether a voxel in a brain image could be more accurately denoised using information from both ipsi- and contralateral hemispheres. This is the idea we investigate in this paper. We define and compute a mid-sagittal plane which best superposes the brain with itself when mirrored about the plane. Then we use this plane to double the size of the neigh-bourhoods and hopefully find additional interesting voxels to be included in the weighted sum. We evaluate this strategy using an extensive set of experiments on both simulated and real datasets.
