Boltzmann Machines for Image Denoising
نویسنده
چکیده
Image denoising based on a probabilistic model of local image patches has been employed by various researchers, and recently a deep denoising autoencoder has been proposed in [2] and [17] as a good model for this. In this paper, we propose that another popular family of models in the field of deep learning, called Boltzmann machines, can perform image denoising as well as, or in certain cases of high level of noise, better than denoising autoencoders. We empirically evaluate these two models on three different sets of images with different types and levels of noise. The experiments confirmed our claim and revealed that the denoising performance can be improved by adding more hidden layers, especially when the level of noise is high.

Boltzmann Machines and Denoising Autoencoders for Image Denoising
Image denoising based on a probabilistic model of local image patches has been employed by various researchers, and recently a deep (denoising) autoencoder has been proposed by Burger et al. [2012] and Xie et al. [2012] as a good model for this. In this paper, we propose that another popular family of models in the field of deep learning, called Boltzmann machines, can perform image denoising a...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of Image Denoising Methods Based on Wavelet Transform and Threshold Functions
There are many unavoidable noise interferences in image acquisition and transmission. To make it better for subsequent processing, the noise in the image should be removed in advance. There are many kinds of image noises, mainly including salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise. This paper focuses on the research of the Gaussian noise removal. It introduces many wavelet threshold denoising alg...
متن کاملA Robust Image Denoising Technique in the Contourlet Transform Domain
The contourlet transform has the benefit of efficiently capturing the oriented geometrical structures of images. In this paper, by incorporating the ideas of Stein’s Unbiased Risk Estimator (SURE) approach in Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) domain, a new image denoising technique is devised. We utilize the characteristics of NSCT coefficients in high and low subbands and apply SURE sh...
متن کاملStatistical Wavelet-based Image Denoising using Scale Mixture of Normal Distributions with Adaptive Parameter Estimation
Removing noise from images is a challenging problem in digital image processing. This paper presents an image denoising method based on a maximum a posteriori (MAP) density function estimator, which is implemented in the wavelet domain because of its energy compaction property. The performance of the MAP estimator depends on the proposed model for noise-free wavelet coefficients. Thus in the wa...
متن کاملAdvances in Deep Learning
Deep neural networks have become increasingly more popular under the name of deep learning recently due to their success in challenging machine learning tasks. Although the popularity is mainly due to the recent successes, the history of neural networks goes as far back as 1958 when Rosenblatt presented a perceptron learning algorithm. Since then, various kinds of artificial neural networks hav...
