Noise Reduction

[mikeytown2]

In terms of command line switches there are 7 noise reduction calls?
-noise (radius)
-median (radius)
-convolve (kernel)
-despeckle
-adaptive-blur (radius[xsigma])
-gaussian-blur (radiusxsigma)
-blur (radiusxsigma)

Is there anything else, and is there an example page for the above 7 commands?
Thanks!

EDIT - Feb 8, 2009: Added -blur & -gaussian-blur to list

@fmw42
This is the "Guts" of your isonoise correct?

Code: Select all

# process data
# create median filtered version
# get absolute difference image between input and median
# threshold the difference image to locate the noise areas
# multiply median by threshold, original by complement of threshold, and then add results together
#
if convert -quiet -regard-warnings "$infile" +repage "$tmpA"
	then
	convert $tmpA -median $radius $tmp0
	convert $tmpA $tmp0 -compose Difference -composite -threshold $thresh% $tmp1
	convert $tmpA $tmp0 $tmp1 -compose src -composite $outfile

What does +repage do exactly, and why do you need to pay attention to warnings?

So, if I want "smart" noise reduction I can't do it with one command, I need temp files.

isonoise generally works best if the noise is rather sparse (well-separated), as does the median filter.

+repage is used to remove any possible virtual canvas that might be associated with the input image.

Yes, you can do it all in one command line with parentheses and clone processing.
See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#image_seq

So as an example how would you do this with one command?
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/advanced/#gel_effects

It's taking output from the last run as input for the next level. A 4 step process
Generate Shape
Add Highlight to input
Darken Borders of input
Add text on top of input

Is there a way to get that down to one line, no temp files? Oversimplified Example:
convert GenShape().Highlight().Borders().Text() out.png

Anthony shows in his gel example how to do it in one step (for command line). I don't know anything about using APIs.

Experiment, if you come up with a better or different technique, please me me know.

This works to make the gel example in one long command line, but I am not sure how to get rid of the miff:- | convert -


convert \( -size 100x60 xc:none \
-fill red -draw 'circle 25,30 10,30' \
-draw 'circle 75,30 90,30' \

\( +clone -alpha extract -blur 0x2 -shade 0x90 -normalize \

Thanks for taking the time to do that! Getting rid of the Escaped CR/LF and putting this into the command line on windows... it crashes ImageMagick.

Change all the single quote characters to the double quote character.

to convert a UNIX script version to a window dos version is relatively easy but you need to follow certain things

For example rather than one long, difficult to edit and understand line, use ^ instead of backslashes at teh end of the line.

For the list of changes that needs to be made see

I'll be playing around with what you guys have shown me. Time to go back to the point of the thread. Noise Reduction!
