• Title: LINN: Lifting Inspired Invertible Neural Network for Image Denoising
• Authors: Jun-Jie Huang, Pier Luigi Dragotti
• Abstract summary: We propose an invertible neural network for image denoising (DnINN) inspired by the transform-based denoising framework. The proposed DnINN consists of an invertible neural network called LINN whose architecture is inspired by the lifting scheme in wavelet theory. The proposed DnINN method achieves results comparable to the DnCNN method while only requiring 1/4 of learnable parameters.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose an invertible neural network for image denoising (DnINN) inspired by the transform-based denoising framework. The proposed DnINN consists of an invertible neural network called LINN whose architecture is inspired by the lifting scheme in wavelet theory and a sparsity-driven denoising network which is used to remove noise from the transform coefficients. The denoising operation is performed with a single soft-thresholding operation or with a learned iterative shrinkage thresholding network. The forward pass of LINN produces an over-complete representation which is more suitable for denoising. The denoised image is reconstructed using the backward pass of LINN using the output of the denoising network. The simulation results show that the proposed DnINN method achieves results comparable to the DnCNN method while only requiring 1/4 of learnable parameters.

• Dense-Sparse Deep Convolutional Neural Networks Training for Image Denoising [0.6215404942415159]
  Deep learning methods such as the convolutional neural networks have gained prominence in the area of image denoising. Deep denoising convolutional neural networks use many feed-forward convolution layers with added regularization methods of batch normalization and residual learning to speed up training and improve denoising performance significantly. In this paper, we show that by employing an enhanced dense-sparse-dense network training procedure to the deep denoising convolutional neural networks, comparable denoising performance level can be achieved at a significantly reduced number of trainable parameters.

• Disentangling Noise from Images: A Flow-Based Image Denoising Neural Network [25.008542061247383]
  We propose a new perspective to treat image denoising as a distribution learning and disentangling task. Since the noisy image distribution can be viewed as a joint distribution of clean images and noise, the denoised images can be obtained via manipulating the latent representations to the clean counterpart. We present an invertible denoising network, FDN, without any assumptions on either clean or noise distributions.
