• Abstract: With the proliferation of sophisticated cameras in modern society, the demand for accurate and visually pleasing images is increasing. However, the quality of an image captured by a camera may be degraded by noise. Thus, some processing of images is required to filter out the noise without losing vital image features. Even though the current literature offers a variety of denoising methods, the fidelity and efficacy of their denoising are sometimes uncertain. Thus, here we propose a novel and computationally efficient image denoising method that is capable of producing accurate images. To preserve image smoothness, this method inputs patches partitioned from the image rather than pixels. Then, it performs denoising on the manifold underlying the patch-space rather than that in the image domain to better preserve the features across the whole image. We validate the performance of this method against benchmark image processing methods.

  We propose a novel approach to image denoising that offers both clear denoising mechanism and good performance. We view noise as a type of image style and remove it by incorporating noise-free styles derived from clean images. We conduct extensive experiments on synthetic noise removal and real-world image denoising datasets.

  We introduce the idea of a cGAN which explicitly leverages structure in the image noise space. By learning directly a low dimensional manifold of the image noise, the generator promotes the removal from the noisy image only that information which spans this manifold. Based on our experiments, our model substantially outperforms existing state-of-the-art architectures.

  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.
