Dual-Domain Filtering

Claude Knaus, Matthias Zwicker

Abstract: We propose dual-domain filtering, an image processing paradigm that couples spatial domain with frequency domain filtering. Our dual-domain defined filter removes artifacts like residual noise of other image denoising methods and compression artifacts. Moreover, iterating the filter achieves state-of-the-art image denoising results, but with a much simpler algorithm than competing approaches. The simplicity and versatility of the dual-domain filter makes it an attractive tool for image processing.
