• Abstract: Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used in image denoising. Existing methods benefited from residual learning and achieved high performance. Much research has been paid attention to optimizing the network architecture of CNN but ignored the limitations of residual learning. This paper suggests two limitations of it. One is that residual learning focuses on estimating noise, thus overlooking the image information. The other is that the image self-similarity is not effectively considered. This paper proposes a compositional denoising network (CDN), whose image information path (IIP) and noise estimation path (NEP) will solve the two problems, respectively. IIP is trained by an image-to-image way to extract image information. For NEP, it utilizes the image self-similarity from the perspective of training. This similarity-based training method constrains NEP to output a similar estimated noise distribution for different image patches with a specific kind of noise. Finally, image information and noise distribution information will be comprehensively considered for image denoising. Experiments show that CDN achieves state-of-the-art results in synthetic and real-world image denoising. Our code will be released on https://github.com/JiaHongZ/CDN.

  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.

  We propose a boosting network to perform denoising and segmentation alternately. We observe that not only denoising helps combat the drop of segmentation accuracy due to noise, but also pixel-wise semantic information boosts the capability of denoising. Experimental results show that the denoised image quality is improved substantially and the segmentation accuracy is improved to close to that of clean images.
