无需噪声分布信息,用统计方法提升去噪一致性。
Learning-based Statistical Refinement for Denoising

- 基于贝叶斯框架构建辅助信号,评估去噪结果与噪声统计的一致性。
- 在无干净图像和噪声分布未知条件下,显著改善去噪质量。
- 适合实际中噪声特性不明确的图像去噪场景。
本文提出一种基于学习的统计精炼方法,可在不了解精确噪声分布、无干净图像或校准数据的情况下,提升给定去噪器的去噪效果。尽管现有去噪方法对各类噪声表现良好,但通常依赖对图像和噪声的精确建模(显式或隐式),而实际中因模型不完善、噪声假设不可靠或数据质量差,导致去噪结果偏离噪声统计特性。当缺乏干净样本且无法掌握噪声分布时,去噪结果往往与真实噪声统计不一致。为此,本文假设噪声在给定干净信号下为像素级条件独立,通过在含噪数据中构造辅助信号的贝叶斯形式,实现对去噪结果一致性的评估,无需精确噪声分布信息。利用含噪数据中的统计信息,该方法增强了去噪结果与噪声统计的一致性,从而提升整体去噪质量。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This work proposes a learning-based statistical refinement method for improving the denoising results of a given denoiser without knowing the precise noise distribution or accessing clean images or calibration data. While there are many existing successful denoising approaches for handling different kinds of noise, they typically require accurate modelling of the images and the noise (implicitly or explicitly), and hence the denoising results can be suboptimal due to different practical factors such as imperfect models, unreliable noise assumptions, or low quality data. In particular, when clean image samples are not available and there is a lack of knowledge of the underlying noise distribution, which is the case in various practical situations, the results may not well align with the noise statistics. The unawareness of the useful statistical information leads to suboptimal results. This work aims to make the best use of the statistical information to improve the consistency between the given denoising results and the noise statistics, under the assumption that the noise is conditionally pixel-wise independent given the clean signal. A method, based on a Bayesian formulation of an auxiliary signal in the noisy data, is proposed for evaluating the consistency of the denoising results, without precise information on noise distribution. By leveraging the statistical information from noisy data, the method enhances the statistical noise consistency and improves denoising quality.
