Nonlocal Coherent Denoising of RF Data for Ultrasound Elastography

Figure 6

Denoising results for phantom data: (a) GLUE alone; (b) GLUE with CODE; (c) GLUE with Gaussian; (d) GLUE with NLM. For CODE, the dimension of the search window is , size of the neighbourhood is , and the smoothing parameter is set to 11. For (c), the kernel size is and smoothing parameter is 1. For (d), the NLM properties are set as (b), but it is applied on B-mode.
