• Abstract: Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used for image denoising via automatically mining accurate structure information. However, most of existing CNNs depend on enlarging depth of designed networks to obtain better denoising performance, which may cause training difficulty. In this paper, we propose a multi-stage image denoising CNN with the wavelet transform (MWDCNN) via three stages, i.e., a dynamic convolutional block (DCB), two cascaded wavelet transform and enhancement blocks (WEBs) and residual block (RB). DCB uses a dynamic convolution to dynamically adjust parameters of several convolutions for making a tradeoff between denoising performance and computational costs. WEB uses a combination of signal processing technique (i.e., wavelet transformation) and discriminative learning to suppress noise for recovering more detailed information in image denoising. To further remove redundant features, RB is used to refine obtained features for improving denoising effects and reconstruct clean images via improved residual dense architectures. Experimental results show that the proposed MWDCNN outperforms some popular denoising methods in terms of quantitative and qualitative analysis.

  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.
