用条件期望重构图像,让去噪更准确可靠。

Image denoising as a conditional expectation

  • 将噪声图像视为概率样本,用核积分算子估计条件期望。
  • 在无穷像素下收敛,有限像素时可优化参数提升效果。
  • 适合对去噪精度要求高的图像处理研究者。

所有去噪技术都依赖于一个真实图像假设和一个假设空间。假设空间可直接重建为灰度函数,或通过傅里叶/小波谱间接表示。多数方法将真实图像视为投影到某个子空间的结果。本文将噪声图像解释为来自某一未知概率空间的采样集合,指出基于投影的方法未必无偏且不保证收敛。我们提出一种数据驱动的去噪方法,将真实图像恢复为条件期望。尽管概率空间未知,但可通过核积分算子估计其上的积分。真实图像被重述为再生核希尔伯特空间(RKHS)中一个线性方程的最小二乘解,涉及多个核积分算子作为线性变换。假设真实图像是紧致平面域上的连续函数,证明当像素数趋于无穷时该方法收敛。同时表明,在有限像素情况下,该收敛结果可用于选择最优参数以实现最佳去噪效果。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

All techniques for denoising involve a notion of a true (noise-free) image, and a hypothesis space. The hypothesis space may reconstruct the image directly as a grayscale valued function, or indirectly by its Fourier or wavelet spectrum. Most common techniques estimate the true image as a projection to some subspace. We propose an interpretation of a noisy image as a collection of samples drawn from a certain probability space. Within this interpretation, projection based approaches are not guaranteed to be unbiased and convergent. We present a data-driven denoising method in which the true image is recovered as a conditional expectation. Although the probability space is unknown apriori, integrals on this space can be estimated by kernel integral operators. The true image is reformulated as the least squares solution to a linear equation in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), and involving various kernel integral operators as linear transforms. Assuming the true image to be a continuous function on a compact planar domain, the technique is shown to be convergent as the number of pixels goes to infinity. We also show that for a picture with finite number of pixels, the convergence result can be used to choose the various parameters for an optimum denoising result.
