4. CONCLUSION
NOISY IMAGE
This paper presents a new expansive complex-directional
discrete wavelet transform based on the complex dual-tree
DWT. We also describe a simple subband-dependent data-
driven denoising procedure in which the magnitudes of the
complex wavelet coefficients are processed by soft-threshold-
ing. Matlab programs for reproducing these results are
available on the Web at http://taco.poly.edu/selesi.
