xwt_firm_denoise — 2D smoothing op

Data kinds: imageimage

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "xwt_firm_denoise", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

Usage

Wavelet denoising using firm thresholding (firm/semisoft thresholding, `pywt.threshold_firm). Has characteristics between soft and hard thresholding; applied to each detail coefficient from a 2-level sym4` decomposition before reconstruction.

> The detailed description below is the original text — the summary and the headings are translated.

`a は下側閾値(0.03〜0.23)、b` は上側閾値(下側+ε 以上、0.15〜0.55)を振る —— 下側未満は 0、上側以上はそのまま、中間は緩やかに減衰させる。xwt_visushrink よりディテールの急な打ち切りを避けたい場合に向く。
