Aiming at the inaccuracy of Non-Local Means (NLM) algorithm for measuring the similarity of neighborhood blocks, an improved Non-Local Means denoising algorithm based on Difference Hash (dHash) algorithm and Hamming distance is proposed. The traditional algorithm measures the similarity between neighborhood blocks by Euclidean distance, so the ability to preserve edges and details is weak, which leads to the blurred and distorted images after filtering. To this end, the Difference Hash algorithm containing the gradient information is introduced, the difference hash images are generated from neighborhood blocks, and the Hamming distance of the difference hash images is calculated to measure the similarity of the neighborhood blocks. Finally, the Euclidean distance is improved. Experiment results show that the proposed method can preserve edges and details while denoising the low-noise images. Compared with other improved algorithms, the running speed of the proposed algorithm is also greatly improved, which has a certain application value.
