• Abstract: Image denoising is an appealing and challenging task, in that noise statistics of real-world observations may vary with local image contents and different image channels. Specifically, the green channel usually has twice the sampling rate in raw data. To handle noise variances and leverage such channel-wise prior information, we propose a simple and effective green channel prior-based image denoising (GCP-ID) method, which integrates GCP into the classic patch-based denoising framework. Briefly, we exploit the green channel to guide the search for similar patches, which aims to improve the patch grouping quality and encourage sparsity in the transform domain. The grouped image patches are then reformulated into RGGB arrays to explicitly characterize the density of green samples. Furthermore, to enhance the adaptivity of GCP-ID to various image contents, we cast the noise estimation problem into a classification task and train an effective estimator based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate the competitive performance of the proposed GCP-ID method for image and video denoising applications in both raw and sRGB spaces.

  This paper considers real noise approximated by heteroscedastic Gaussian/Poisson Gaussian distributions with in-camera signal processing pipelines. We propose a novel conditional filter in which the optimal kernels for different feature positions can be adaptively inferred by local features from the image and the noise map. Also, we bring the thought that alternatively performs noise estimation and non-blind denoising into CNN structure, which continuously updates noise prior to guide the iterative feature denoising.

  We propose a novel "Decoupled-Mixup" method to train CNN models for visual recognition. Our method decouples each image into discriminative and noise-prone regions, and then heterogeneously combines these regions to train CNN models. Experiment results show the high generalization performance of our method on testing data that are composed of unseen contexts.

  One traditional strategy is to convert the RGB image to a less correlated color space and denoise each channel of the new space separately. This paper proposes a new multi-channel optimization model for color image denoising under the nuclear norm minus Frobenius norm minimization framework. Experimental results on both synthetic and real noise datasets demonstrate the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art models.

  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.

  We study the JDD problem for real-world burst images, namely JDD-B. Considering the fact that the green channel has twice the sampling rate and better quality than the red and blue channels in CFA raw data, we propose to use this green channel prior (GCP) to build a GCP-Net. Our GCP-Net can preserve more image structures and details than other JDD methods while removing noise.
