• Abstract: Salt and pepper noise removal is a common inverse problem in image processing, and it aims to restore image information with high quality. Traditional salt and pepper denoising methods have two limitations. First, noise characteristics are often not described accurately. For example, the noise location information is often ignored and the sparsity of the salt and pepper noise is often described by L1 norm, which cannot illustrate the sparse variables clearly. Second, conventional methods separate the contaminated image into a recovered image and a noise part, thus resulting in recovering an image with unsatisfied smooth parts and detail parts. In this study, we introduce a noise detection strategy to determine the position of the noise, and a non-convex sparsity regularization depicted by Lp quasi-norm is employed to describe the sparsity of the noise, thereby addressing the first limitation. The morphological component analysis framework with stationary Framelet transform is adopted to decompose the processed image into cartoon, texture, and noise parts to resolve the second limitation. In this framework, the stationary Framelet regularizations with different parameters control the restoration of the cartoon and texture parts. In this way, the two parts are recovered separately to avoid mutual interference. Then, the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is employed to solve the proposed model. Finally, experiments are conducted to verify the proposed method and compare it with some current state-of-the-art denoising methods. The experimental results show that the proposed method can remove salt and pepper noise while preserving the details of the processed image.

• Divide and Conquer: Heterogeneous Noise Integration for Diffusion-based Adversarial Purification [75.09791002021947]
  Existing purification methods aim to disrupt adversarial perturbations by introducing a certain amount of noise through a forward diffusion process, followed by a reverse process to recover clean examples. This approach is fundamentally flawed as the uniform operation of the forward process compromises normal pixels while attempting to combat adversarial perturbations. We propose a heterogeneous purification strategy grounded in the interpretability of neural networks. Our method decisively applies higher-intensity noise to specific pixels that the target model focuses on while the remaining pixels are subjected to only low-intensity noise.

  "Statistical component separation" problems focus on recovering a predefined set of statistical descriptors of a target signal from a noisy mixture. We show that our method better recovers the descriptors of the target data than a standard denoising method in most situations. We extend this method by introducing a diffusive stepwise algorithm which gives a new perspective to the initial method.

  Inspired by a latent observation that noise tends to appear in the high-frequency part of the image, we propose a fully invertible denoising method. We decompose the noisy image into clean low-frequency and hybrid high-frequency parts with an invertible transformation. In this way, denoising is made tractable by inversely merging noiseless low and high-frequency parts.
