function [xd,xn,option] = denoise(x,h,type,option)
%    [xd,xn,option] = denoise(x,h,type,option); 
%
%    DENOISE is a generic program for wavelet based denoising.
%    The program will denoise the signal x using the 2-band wavelet
%    system described by the filter h using either the traditional 
%    discrete wavelet transform (DWT) or the linear shift invariant 
%    discrete wavelet transform (also known as the undecimated DWT
%    (UDWT)). 
%
%    Input:  
%       x         : 1D or 2D signal to be denoised
%       h         : Scaling filter to be applied
%       type      : Type of transform (Default: type = 0)
%                   0 --> Discrete wavelet transform (DWT)
%                   1 --> Undecimated DWT (UDWT)
%       option    : Default settings is marked with '*':
%                   *type = 0 --> option = [0 3.0 0 0 0 0]
%                   type = 1 --> option = [0 3.6 0 1 0 0]
%       option(1) : Whether to threshold low-pass part
%                   0 --> Don't threshold low pass component 
%                   1 --> Threshold low pass component
%       option(2) : Threshold multiplier, c. The threshold is
%                   computed as: 
%                     thld = c*MAD(noise_estimate)). 
%                   The default values are:
%                     c = 3.0 for the DWT based denoising
%                     c = 3.6 for the UDWT based denoising
%       option(3) : Type of variance estimator
%                   0 --> MAD (mean absolute deviation)
%                   1 --> STD (classical numerical std estimate)
%       option(4) : Type of thresholding
%                   0 --> Soft thresholding
%                   1 --> Hard thresholding
%       option(5) : Number of levels, L, in wavelet decomposition. By
%                   setting this to the default value '0' a maximal
%                   decomposition is used.
%       option(6) : Actual threshold to use (setting this to
%                   anything but 0 will mean that option(3)
%                   is ignored)
%
%    Output: 
%       xd     : Estimate of noise free signal 
%       xn     : The estimated noise signal (x-xd)
%       option : A vector of actual parameters used by the
%                program. The vector is configured the same way as
%                the input option vector with one added element
%                option(7) = type.
%
%  HERE'S AN EASY WAY TO RUN THE EXAMPLES:
%  Cut-and-paste the example you want to run to a new file 
%  called ex.m, for example. Delete out the % at the beginning 
%  of each line in ex.m (Can use search-and-replace in your editor
%  to replace it with a space). Type 'ex' in matlab and hit return.
%
%    Example 1: 
%       h = daubcqf(6); [s,N] = makesig('Doppler'); n = randn(1,N);
%       x = s + n/10;     % (approximately 10dB SNR)
%       figure;plot(x);hold on;plot(s,'r');
%
%       %Denoise x with the default method based on the DWT
%       [xd,xn,opt1] = denoise(x,h);
%       figure;plot(xd);hold on;plot(s,'r');
%
%       %Denoise x using the undecimated (LSI) wavelet transform
%       [yd,yn,opt2] = denoise(x,h,1);
%       figure;plot(yd);hold on;plot(s,'r');
%
% Example 2: (on an image)  
%      h = daubcqf(6);  load lena; 
%      noisyLena = lena + 25 * randn(size(lena));
%      figure; colormap(gray); imagesc(lena); title('Original Image');
%       figure; colormap(gray); imagesc(noisyLena); title('Noisy Image'); 
%       Denoise lena with the default method based on the DWT
%      [denoisedLena,xn,opt1] = denoise(noisyLena,h);
%      figure; colormap(gray); imagesc(denoisedLena); title('denoised Image');

%Change History: Fixed output of function and an error in the computation
%                of the threshold for redundant denoising.
%                <Jan Erik Odegard> <Mon Jul 31, 1995>
%
%                This code is composed of several of our old codes for
%                wavelet based denoising. In an effort to make the mess
%                more manageable we decided to create on code that would 
%                handle all the various wavelet based denoising methods.
%                However, only time will show (as we discover new and 
%                improved forms of denoising) if we can succeed in our goals.
