• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a gradual denoising strategy that iteratively detects the dominating noise in an image, and removes it using a tailored denoiser. The method provides an insight on the nature of the encountered noise, and it makes it possible to extend an existing denoiser with new noise nature.

• Abstract: Fully supervised deep-learning based denoisers are currently the most performing image denoising solutions. However, they require clean reference images. When the target noise is complex, e.g. composed of an unknown mixture of primary noises with unknown intensity, fully supervised solutions are limited by the difficulty to build a suited training set for the problem. This paper proposes a gradual denoising strategy that iteratively detects the dominating noise in an image, and removes it using a tailored denoiser. The method is shown to keep up with state of the art blind denoisers on mixture noises. Moreover, noise analysis is demonstrated to guide denoisers efficiently not only on noise type, but also on noise intensity. The method provides an insight on the nature of the encountered noise, and it makes it possible to extend an existing denoiser with new noise nature. This feature makes the method adaptive to varied denoising cases.

  We develop a new textbfadaptive noise imitation (ADANI) algorithm that can synthesize noisy data from naturally noisy images. To produce realistic noise, a noise generator takes unpaired noisy/clean images as input, where the noisy image is a guide for noise generation. Coupling the noisy data output from ADANI with the corresponding ground-truth, a denoising CNN is then trained in a fully-supervised manner.

  Many blind deblurring methods assume blurred images are noise-free and perform unsatisfactorily on the blurry images with noise. We propose a cascaded framework consisting of a denoiser subnetwork and a deblurring subnetwork. Joint learning reduces the effect of the residual noise after denoising on deblurring, hence improves the robustness of deblurring to heavy noise.
