I have an image that looks like this (it might appear low res in a browser because it is 16 MB). This image was taken with a scanning electron microscope, but because the equipment is outdated there is a lot of noise within the image. What I would like to do is develop a program (in Java) that would take this image as an input and try to remove the noise as much as possible to produce a high quality image. However, being a beginner in the field of image/signal processing, I have no idea where to begin researching techniques. I was wondering if you guys had any good starting points for me to look into, or perhaps de-noising algorithms/techniques that I could research to potentially help me reach my goal.
Which technique to use for signal/image processing or noise removal?
image processing;signal processing
