• Abstract: In recent years, self-supervised denoising methods have gained significant success and become critically important in the field of image restoration. Among them, the blind spot network based methods are the most typical type and have attracted the attentions of a large number of researchers. Although the introduction of blind spot operations can prevent identity mapping from noise to noise, it imposes stringent requirements on the receptive fields in the network design, thereby limiting overall performance. To address this challenge, we propose a single mask scheme for self-supervised denoising training, which eliminates the need for blind spot operation and thereby removes constraints on the network structure design. Furthermore, to achieve denoising across entire image during inference, we propose a multi-mask scheme. Our method, featuring the asymmetric mask scheme in training and inference, achieves state-of-the-art performance on existing real noisy image datasets. All the source code will be made available to the public.

We propose to explicitly take the saliency constraint into consideration in which the masked regions are more evenly distributed among the foreground and background.

  In self-supervised image denoising, blind-spot network (BSN) is one of the most common methods. We propose a multi-mask strategy using multiple convolutional kernels masked in different shapes to break the noise spatial correlation. We show that different masks can cause significant performance differences, and the proposed MM-BSN can efficiently fuse the features extracted by multi-masked layers.

  Noise in real-world scenarios is often spatially correlated, which causes many self-supervised algorithms to perform poorly. We propose Asymmetric Tunable Blind-Spot Network (AT-BSN), where the blind-spot size can be freely adjusted. We show that our method achieves state-of-the-art, and is superior to other self-supervised algorithms in terms of computational overhead and visual effects.
