Visual data are transmitted as the high quality digital images in the major fields of communication in all of the modern applications. These images on receiving after transmission are most of the times corrupted with noise. This thesis focused on the work which works on the received image processing before it is used for particular applications. We applied image denoising which involves the manipulation of the DWT coefficients of noisy image data to produce a visually high standard denoised image. This works consist of extensive reviews of the various parametric and non parametric existing denoising algorithms based on statistical estimation approach related to wavelet transforms connected processing approach and contains analytical results of denoising under the effect of various noises at different intensities .These different noise models includes additive and multiplicative type’s distortions in images used. It includes Gaussian noise and speckle noise. The denoising algorithm is application independent and giving a very high speed performance with desired noise less image even in the presence of high level distortion. Hence, it is not required to have prior knowledge about the type of noise present in the image because of the adaptive nature of the proposed denoising algorithm.
