Performance Comparison of De-speckling filters on the Basis of Incremental Iteration in Ultrasound Imaging

Abstract

Speckle noise is a multiplicative noise that degrades image quality. It is inherently found in ultrasound imaging. Removing spots always trades between noise suppression and loss of information, and experts are very concerned about this. Therefore, we hope to retain as much important information as possible. Here in this paper we tried to find the effect of multiple iteration of any filter to remove the speckle noise from the image. The results are very informative which showed that some filters behave abruptly and gives higher values for lower iteration than showed some stability and again its values increased. The paper tried to show the impact of different filters by increment of iterations during removal of speckle noise from the ultrasound imaging.
