PoEdges - MATLAB Denoising software for grayscale images

The file 'sampleRun.m' is a sample script which demonstrates how to use this software. 
This code partially builds up on code from Javier Portilla's BLS-GSM Image Denoising 
toolbox which is available online from http://decsai.ugr.es/~javier/denoise/index.html .
For execution the 'matlabPyrTools' toolbox written by Eero Simoncelli is needed.
It can be downloaded from http://www.cns.nyu.edu/~lcv/software.html. Unpack it, 
compile the MEX files and put everything in your matlab path. 

We thank Javier Portilla for the permission to use his code. Some functions taken
directly from the toolbox without any changes are stored in the subfolder Portilla/.
The BLS-GSM toolbox was used for the results of the following paper
