Anisotropic Weighted KS-NLM Filter for Noise Reduction in MRI

The topic of denoising magnetic resonance (MR) images is considered in this paper. More in detail, an enhanced Non-Local Means (NLM) filter using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) distance is proposed. The KS-NLM approach estimates the similarity between image patches by computing the KS distance. To over...
