• Abstract: As quotidian use of sophisticated cameras surges, people in modern society are more interested in capturing fine-quality images. However, the quality of the images might be inferior to people's expectations due to the noise contamination in the images. Thus, filtering out the noise while preserving vital image features is an essential requirement. Current existing denoising methods have their own assumptions on the probability distribution in which the contaminated noise is sampled for the method to attain its expected denoising performance. In this paper, we utilize our recent Gramian-based filtering scheme to remove noise sampled from five prominent probability distributions from selected images. This method preserves image smoothness by adopting patches partitioned from the image, rather than pixels, and retains vital image features by performing denoising on the manifold underlying the patch space rather than in the image domain. We validate its denoising performance, using three benchmark computer vision test images applied to two state-of-the-art denoising methods, namely BM3D and K-SVD.

  We propose a novel denoising approach that produces viable and high quality results, while maintaining a small MSE. Our method employs Langevin dynamics that relies on a repeated application of any given MMSE denoiser, obtaining the reconstructed image by effectively sampling from the posterior distribution. Due to its perceptuality, the proposed algorithm can produce a variety of high-quality outputs for a given noisy input, all shown to be legitimate denoising results.
