In the field of image processing, common noise types include Gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise, speckle noise, uniform noise and pulse noise. Different types of noise require different denoising algorithms and techniques to maintain image quality and fidelity. Traditional image denoising methods not only remove image noise, but also result in the detail loss in the image. It cannot guarantee the clean removal of noise information while preserving the true signal of the image. To address the aforementioned issues, an image denoising method combining an improved threshold function and wavelet transform is proposed in the experiment. Unlike traditional threshold functions, the improved threshold function is a continuous function that can avoid the pseudo Gibbs effect after image denoising and improve image quality. During the process, the output image of the finite ridge wave transform is first combined with the wavelet transform to improve the denoising performance. Then, an improved threshold function is introduced to enhance the quality of the reconstructed image. In addition, to evaluate the performance of different algorithms, different densities of Gaussian noise are added to Lena images of black, white, and color in the experiment. The results showed that when adding 0.010.01 variance Gaussian noise to black and white images, the peak signal-to-noise ratio of the research method increased by 2.58dB in a positive direction. The mean square error decreased by 0.10dB. When using the algorithm for denoising, the research method had a minimum denoising time of only 13ms, which saved 9ms and 3ms compared to the hard threshold algorithm (Hard TA) and soft threshold algorithm (Soft TA), respectively. The research method exhibited higher stability, with an average similarity error fluctuating within 0.89%. The above results indicate that the research method has smaller errors and better system stability in image denoising. It can be applied in the field of digital image denoising, which can effectively promote the positive development of image denoising technology to a certain extent.

Generative models, especially diffusion models, have gained traction in image generation for their high-quality image synthesis, surpassing generative adversarial networks (GANs). They have shown to excel in anomaly detection by modeling healthy reference data for scoring anomalies. However, one major disadvantage of these models is its sampling speed, which so far has made it unsuitable for use in time-sensitive scenarios.
