PEWA: Patch-based Exponentially Weighted Aggregation for image denoising
نویسنده
چکیده
Patch-based methods have been widely used for noise reduction in recent years. In this paper, we propose a general statistical aggregation method which combines image patches denoised with several commonly-used algorithms. We show that weakly denoised versions of the input image obtained with standard methods, can serve to compute an efficient patch-based aggregated estimator. In our approach, we evaluate the Stein’s Unbiased Risk Estimator (SURE) of each denoised candidate image patch and use this information to compute the exponential weighted aggregation (EWA) estimator. The aggregation method is flexible enough to combine any standard denoising algorithm and has an interpretation with Gibbs distribution. The denoising algorithm (PEWA) is based on a MCMC sampling and is able to produce results that are comparable to the current state-of-the-art.

A Novel Patch-based Image Denoising Algorithm using Finite Radon Transform for Good Visual
Patch-based denoising methods have recently emerged due to its good denoising performance. In this paper, based on analysis of the optimal over-complete patch aggregation, we highlight the importance of a local transform for good image features representation. A finite Radon transform (FRAT) based two-stage over-complete image denoising algorithm is then proposed for obtaining good visual quali...

This paper presents a patch-wise low-rank based image denoising method with constrained variational model involving local and nonlocal regularization. On one hand, recent patch-wise methods can be represented as a low-rank matrix approximation problem whose convex relaxation usually depends on nuclear norm minimization (NNM). Here, we extend the NNM to the nonconvex schatten p-norm minimization...
متن کاملPatch-based models and algorithms for image denoising: a comparative review between patch-based images denoising methods for additive noise reduction
Background: Digital images are captured using sensors during the data acquisition phase, where they are often contaminated by noise (an undesired random signal). Such noise can also be produced during transmission or by poor-quality lossy image compression. Reducing the noise and enhancing the images are considered the central process to all other digital image processing tasks. The improvement...
متن کاملNonconvex Weighted ℓp Minimization Based Group Sparse Representation Framework for Image Denoising
Nonlocal image representation or group sparsity has attracted considerable interest in various low-level vision tasks and has led to several state-of-the-art image denoising techniques, such as BM3D, LSSC. In the past, convex optimization with sparsity-promoting convex regularization was usually regarded as a standard scheme for estimating sparse signals in noise. However, using convex regulari...

Good learning image priors from the noise-corrupted images or clean natural images are very important in preserving the local edge and texture regions while denoising images. This paper presents a novel image denoising algorithm based on superpixel clustering and sparse representation, named as the superpixel clustering and sparse representation (SC-SR) algorithm. In contrast to most existing m...
