英文摘要：

A novel despeckling method for medical ultrasound images is proposed based on quantum-inspired parameters estimation.A new probability distribution function with an adaptive parameter is built up with the modelling of log-transformed medical ultrasound images coefficients.Considering the inter-scale dependency of coefficients,the quantum-inspired probability of signal and noise is firstly introduced based on the normalized products of the coefficients and their parents.Using the Bayesian estimation theory,an adaptive shrinkage function is proposed based on quantum-inspired parameters estimation.Experiments showed that our method can notably reduce speckle noise and preserve details of medical ultrasound image effectively,which achieved much better performance than that of the other related despeckling methods.
