Dual-Domain Image Denoising

Image denoising methods have been implemented in both spatial and transform domains. Each domain has its advantages and shortcomings, which can be complemented by each other. State-of-the-art methods like block-matching 3D filtering (BM3D) therefore combine both domains. However, implementation of such methods is not trivial. We offer a hybrid method that is surprisingly easy to implement and yet rivals BM3D in quality.
