    denoised : ndarray

    Notes
    -----
    This is an edge-preserving, denoising filter. It averages pixels based on
    their spatial closeness and radiometric similarity [1]_.

    Spatial closeness is measured by the Gaussian function of the Euclidean
    distance between two pixels and a certain standard deviation
    (`sigma_spatial`).

    Radiometric similarity is measured by the Gaussian function of the
    Euclidean distance between two color values and a certain standard
    deviation (`sigma_color`).

    Note that, if the image is of any `int` dtype, ``image`` will be
    converted using the `img_as_float` function and thus the standard
    deviation (`sigma_color`) will be in range ``[0, 1]``.

    For more information on scikit-image's data type conversions and how
    images are rescaled in these conversions,
    see: https://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/user_guide/data_types.html.

    The principle of total variation denoising is explained in
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_variation_denoising

    The principle of total variation denoising is to minimize the
    total variation of the image, which can be roughly described as
    the integral of the norm of the image gradient. Total variation
    denoising tends to produce "cartoon-like" images, that is,
    piecewise-constant images.

    This code is an implementation of the algorithm of Rudin, Fatemi and Osher
    that was proposed by Chambolle in [1]_.

    convert2ycbcr : bool, optional

        Otherwise, this parameter indicates which axis of the array corresponds
        to channels.

           ``channel_axis`` was added in 0.19.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        Denoised image.

    Notes
    -----
    The wavelet domain is a sparse representation of the image, and can be
    thought of similarly to the frequency domain of the Fourier transform.
    Sparse representations have most values zero or near-zero and truly random
    noise is (usually) represented by many small values in the wavelet domain.
    Setting all values below some threshold to 0 reduces the noise in the
    image, but larger thresholds also decrease the detail present in the image.

    If the input is 3D, this function performs wavelet denoising on each color
    plane separately.

    .. versionchanged:: 0.16
       For floating point inputs, the original input range is maintained and
       there is no clipping applied to the output. Other input types will be
       converted to a floating point value in the range [-1, 1] or [0, 1]
       depending on the input image range. Unless ``rescale_sigma = False``,
       any internal rescaling applied to the ``image`` will also be applied
       to ``sigma`` to maintain the same relative amplitude.

    Many wavelet coefficient thresholding approaches have been proposed. By
    default, ``denoise_wavelet`` applies BayesShrink, which is an adaptive
    thresholding method that computes separate thresholds for each wavelet
    sub-band as described in [1]_.

    If ``method == "VisuShrink"``, a single "universal threshold" is applied to
    all wavelet detail coefficients as described in [2]_. This threshold
    is designed to remove all Gaussian noise at a given ``sigma`` with high
    probability, but tends to produce images that appear overly smooth.

    Although any of the wavelets from ``PyWavelets`` can be selected, the
    thresholding methods assume an orthogonal wavelet transform and may not
    choose the threshold appropriately for biorthogonal wavelets. Orthogonal
    wavelets are desirable because white noise in the input remains white noise
    in the subbands. Biorthogonal wavelets lead to colored noise in the
    subbands. Additionally, the orthogonal wavelets in PyWavelets are
    orthonormal so that noise variance in the subbands remains identical to the
    noise variance of the input. Example orthogonal wavelets are the Daubechies
    (e.g. 'db2') or symmlet (e.g. 'sym2') families.

        deprecated: specify `channel_axis` instead.
    channel_axis : int or None, optional
        If None, the image is assumed to be a grayscale (single channel) image.
        Otherwise, this parameter indicates which axis of the array corresponds
        to channels.

        .. versionadded:: 0.19
           ``channel_axis`` was added in 0.19.

    Returns
    -------
    sigma : float or list
        Estimated noise standard deviation(s).  If `multichannel` is True and
        `average_sigmas` is False, a separate noise estimate for each channel
        is returned.  Otherwise, the average of the individual channel
        estimates is returned.

    Notes
    -----
    This function assumes the noise follows a Gaussian distribution. The
    estimation algorithm is based on the median absolute deviation of the
    wavelet detail coefficients as described in section 4.2 of [1]_.
