• Abstract: Denoising is a crucial step in many video processing pipelines such as in interactive editing, where high quality, speed, and user control are essential. While recent approaches achieve significant improvements in denoising quality by leveraging deep learning, they are prone to unexpected failures due to discrepancies between training data distributions and the wide variety of noise patterns found in real-world videos. These methods also tend to be slow and lack user control. In contrast, traditional denoising methods perform reliably on in-the-wild videos and run relatively quickly on modern hardware. However, they require manually tuning parameters for each input video, which is not only tedious but also requires skill. We bridge the gap between these two paradigms by proposing a differentiable denoising pipeline based on traditional methods. A neural network is then trained to predict the optimal denoising parameters for each specific input, resulting in a robust and efficient approach that also supports user control.

  In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised video denoising framework, named Temporal As aTAP' (TAP) By incorporating temporal modules, our method can harness temporal information across noisy frames, complementing its power of spatial denoising. Compared to other unsupervised video denoising methods, our framework demonstrates superior performance on both sRGB and raw video denoising datasets.

  Video denoising aims at removing noise from videos to recover clean ones. Some existing works show that optical flow can help the denoising by exploiting the additional spatial-temporal clues from nearby frames. We propose a new multi-scale refined optical flow-guided video denoising method, which is more robust to different noise levels.

  Real-time denoising algorithms are typically adopted on the user device to remove the noise involved during the shooting and transmission of video streams. Recent multi-output inference works propagate the bidirectional temporal feature with a parallel or recurrent framework. We propose a Bidirectional Streaming Video Denoising framework, to achieve high-fidelity real-time denoising for streaming videos with both past and future temporal receptive fields.
