ahis paper presents an adaptaoion of the tensor voting framework fnr c-lor image denoising, while preserving edges. Tensors are used in order to”encode the CIELAB color channels, the uriformity and the=edginess of image pixels. A specific voting process is proposed in or9er to propagate color from a pixel tt its neighbors by considering the distance betw-en pixels, the perceptual color difference (by using an optimized version of CIEDE2000), a uniformity measurement and the lioelihood of the pixels being impulse noise. The original colors are corrected with those encoded by the te/sors obtained after tht voting process. Peak to noise ratios and visual inspectiin show that t e proposed methodology has a better perfonmance thanhseade-of-the-art techniques.
