用直方图匹配让各种噪声变高斯,一个去噪器通吃多种噪声
Transforming Noise Distributions with Histogram Matching: Towards a Single Denoiser for All
- 通过直方图匹配将任意噪声转为已知强度的高斯分布
- 多阶段变换使单一去噪器在真实与合成噪声上均表现优异
- 适合需要通用去噪能力的研究者和工程应用
监督式高斯去噪器在面对分布外噪声时泛化能力有限,因不同噪声类型具有多样分布特性。为此,我们提出一种直方图匹配方法,将任意噪声转换为目标已知强度的高斯分布。同时建立噪声转换与后续去噪间的互增强循环,逐步优化待转换噪声,使其逼近真实噪声,从而提升转换效果并进一步改善去噪性能。针对特定噪声复杂性:局部直方图匹配处理信号依赖噪声,片内排列处理通道相关噪声,频域直方图匹配结合像素洗牌下采样打破空间相关性。经此变换,单一高斯去噪器显著增强对多种分布外噪声的处理能力,涵盖泊松、椒盐、重复模式等合成噪声及复杂真实世界噪声。大量实验验证了本方法在泛化性与有效性上的优越性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Supervised Gaussian denoisers exhibit limited generalization when confronted with out-of-distribution noise, due to the diverse distributional characteristics of different noise types. To bridge this gap, we propose a histogram matching approach that transforms arbitrary noise towards a target Gaussian distribution with known intensity. Moreover, a mutually reinforcing cycle is established between noise transformation and subsequent denoising. This cycle progressively refines the noise to be converted, making it approximate the real noise, thereby enhancing the noise transformation effect and further improving the denoising performance. We tackle specific noise complexities: local histogram matching handles signal-dependent noise, intrapatch permutation processes channel-related noise, and frequency-domain histogram matching coupled with pixel-shuffle down-sampling breaks spatial correlation. By applying these transformations, a single Gaussian denoiser gains remarkable capability to handle various out-of-distribution noises, including synthetic noises such as Poisson, salt-and-pepper and repeating pattern noises, as well as complex real-world noises. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior generalization and effectiveness of our method.
