A Weibull‐distribution‐based hybrid total variation method for speckle reduction in ultrasound images

Abstract Speckle reduction is still an intractable task in ultrasound imaging field. Ultrasound speckle is usually described as multiplicative noise with its statistics following a Rayleigh or Gaussian distribution. To employ these two distributions effectively, the authors attempt to describe ultra...
