• Authors: Deborah Pereg,
• Abstract summary: We introduce Back to Basics (BTB), a fast iterative algorithm for noise reduction. We examine three study cases: natural image denoising in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise, Poisson-distributed image denoising, and speckle suppression in optical coherence tomography ( OCT) Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can effectively improve image quality, in challenging noise settings.

• Abstract: We introduce Back to Basics (BTB), a fast iterative algorithm for noise reduction. Our method is computationally efficient, does not require training or ground truth data, and can be applied in the presence of independent noise, as well as correlated (coherent) noise, where the noise level is unknown. We examine three study cases: natural image denoising in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise, Poisson-distributed image denoising, and speckle suppression in optical coherence tomography (OCT). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can effectively improve image quality, in challenging noise settings. Theoretical guarantees are provided for convergence stability.

  Low-Light Image Enhancement (LLIE) techniques have made notable advancements in preserving image details and enhancing contrast. These approaches encounter persistent challenges in efficiently mitigating dynamic noise and accommodating diverse low-light scenarios. We first propose a method for estimating the noise level in low light images in a quick and accurate way. We then devise a Learnable Illumination Interpolator (LII) to satisfy general constraints between illumination and input.

  This paper investigates the tasks of image denoising and noise variance estimation in a single, joint learning framework. We build upon DVP, an unsupervised deep learning framework, that simultaneously learns a denoiser and estimates noise variances. Our method does not require any clean training images or an external step of noise estimation, and instead, approximates the minimum mean squared error denoisers using only a set of noisy images.

  We develop a new textbfadaptive noise imitation (ADANI) algorithm that can synthesize noisy data from naturally noisy images. To produce realistic noise, a noise generator takes unpaired noisy/clean images as input, where the noisy image is a guide for noise generation. Coupling the noisy data output from ADANI with the corresponding ground-truth, a denoising CNN is then trained in a fully-supervised manner.

  Conventional algorithms for retrieving the phase suffer when noise is present but display global convergence when given clean data. Here, we combine iterative methods from phase retrieval with image statistics from deep denoisers, via regularization-by-denoising. The resulting methods inherit the advantages of each approach and outperform other noise-robust phase retrieval algorithms.
