			=Traditional vs. AI-Based Noise Reduction=

			=== Traditional Methods: ===
			Common DSP techniques for noise reduction include Fourier transform-based filtering, where noise is separated in the frequency domain, and spatial filters, such as the Gaussian and median filters. These methods aim to remove noise but may also inadvertently remove important signal features.

			=== AI-Based Methods: ===
			AI and deep learning methods for denoising, such as the DnCNN, learn to distinguish between noise and signal features through training on large datasets. This approach can maintain the integrity of critical features while effectively reducing noise—a significant advancement in the signal enhancement field.

	Noise reduction is crucial in image processing to enhance the performance of subsequent computer vision tasks. In this project, we integrate a pretrained DnCNN (Denoising Convolutional Neural Network) to perform noise reduction using artificial intelligence. The system enables users to select an image, optionally inject ~~synthetic~~ Gaussian noise if needed, and apply AI-based denoising techniques. Results are then visually compared and automatically saved. This article explains the implementation details in MATLAB, outlines the methodology, and discusses potential improvements.
