摘要

Optical coherence tomography (OCT), which is highly regarded, serves as a valuable instrument in both biological research and clinical diagnosis, and it is capable of providing high-resolution tissue images. However, the presence of speckle noise in OCT images can significantly reduce their quality, potentially leading to inaccurate study results and diagnostic procedures. To solve this problem, a fusion denoising algorithm based on ResNet and truncated Huber filtering is proposed. The source image is initially decomposed into base and detail layers using a truncated Huber filter. In order to achieve detail layer fusion, the multilayer features of the detail layer are initially extracted using a ResNet network. Subsequently, a set of candidate features is generated by applying the \({l}_{1}\) l 1 -norm and weighted average rule. Then, a feature fusion scheme based on the average pixel intensity energy operator is employed to fuse these candidate features in order to achieve more accurate and comprehensive detail layer information fusion. For the base layer fusion, a fusion scheme based on spatial frequency similarity and structural similarity is proposed. Finally, the fused detail and base layers are synthesized to reconstruct the fused image. The results of experimental studies demonstrate that the algorithm exhibits comparable performance to some of the most advanced speckle noise removal techniques, as evidenced by both objective metrics and subjective visual inspection.
