최근 노이즈 제거를 위한 심층 학습 모델에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 블라인드 노이즈 제거 (blind denoising) 기술이 발전하면서 깨끗한 영상을 얻기가 불가능한 영상의 영역에서 노이즈 영상만으로 심층 학습 기반 노이즈 제거 모델의 학습이 가능해졌다. 우리는 관찰된 노이즈 영상으로부터 깨끗한 영상을 얻기 위해 더는 깨끗한 영상과 노이즈 영상의 짝을 이루는 데이터를 필요하지 않는다. 하지만 노이즈 영상과 깨끗한 영상 간의 차이가 큰 데이터라면 노이즈 영상만으로 학습된 노이즈 제거 모델은 우리가 원하는 품질의 깨끗한 영상을 복원하기 어려울 것이다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 짝지어지지 않는 깨끗한 영상과 노이즈 영상으로 학습한 모델 기반 노이즈 제거 기술은 최근 연구되고 있다. 가장 최신 기술인 ISCL은 깨끗한 영상과 노이즈 영상의 쌍을 기반으로 한 지도학습 기반 모델의 성능과 거의 근접한 성능을 보여 주었다. 우리는 제안된 방법이 ISCL을 포함한 다른 최신 짝을 이루지 않는 영상 기반 노이즈 제거 기술보다 성능이 우수함을 보여준다.

Many image edge details are easily lost in the image denoising process, and the smooth image regions are prone to produce jagged. In this paper, we propose a wavelet-based image global k- singular value decomposition variational method to remove image noise. A layer of wavelet decomposition is applied to the noisy image first. Then, the image global k-singular value decomposition (IGK-SVD) method is used to remove the random noise of low-frequency components. Furthermore, a constructed variational denoising method (VDM) removes the random noise in the high-frequency component. Finally, the denoised image is obtained by wavelet reconstruction. The experimental results show that the proposed method's peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) value is higher than other methods, and its structural similarity (SSIM) value is closer to one, indicating that the proposed method can effectively suppress image noise while retaining more image edge details. The denoised image has better denoising effects.

윤곽선 이미지 매칭에서 이미지의 노이즈를 제거하는 것은 직관적이고 정확한 매칭을 위해 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 윤곽선 이미지 매칭에서 부분 노이즈를 허용하는 문제를 시계열 도메인에서 다룬다. 이를 위해, 먼저 부분 노이즈 제거 시계열(partial denoising time-series)을 정의하여 이미지 도메인이 아닌 시계열 도메인에서 매칭 문제를 신속하게 해결하는 방법을 제안한다. 다음으로, 두 윤곽선 이미지, 즉 질의 시계열과 데이터 시계열에서 구성된 부분 노이즈 제거 시계열들 간에 가질 수 있는 최소거리인 부분 노이즈 제거 거리(partial denoising distance)를 제시한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 두 윤곽선 이미지 간의 유사성 척도로 사용하여 윤곽선 이미지 매칭을 수행한다. 그러나, 부분 노이즈 제거 거리를 측정하기 위해서는 매우 많은 계산이 빈번하게 발생하므로, 본 논문에서는 부분 노이즈 제거 거리의 하한을 구하는 방법을 제안한다. 마지막으로, 부분 노이즈 제거 윤곽선 이미지 매칭의 질의 방식에 따라 범위 질의 매칭과 k-NN 질의 매칭을 각각 제안한다. 실험 결과, 제안한 부분 노이즈 제거 윤곽선 이미지 매칭은 성능을 수 배에서 수십 배까지 향상시킨 것으로 나타났다.

Image denoising is basic work for image processing, analysis and computer vision. This paper proposes a novel algorithm based on wavelet threshold for image denoising, which is combined with the linear CLS (Constrained Least Squares) filtering and thresholding methods in the transform domain. We demonstrated through simulations with images contaminated by white Gaussian noise that our scheme exhibits better performance in both PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and visual effect.

Image denoising is considered as a key factor for capturing high-quality photos in digital cameras. Thus far, several image denoising methods have been proposed in the past decade. In addition, previous studies either relied on deep learning-based approaches or used the hand-crafted filters. Unfortunately, the previous method mostly emphasized on image denoising regardless of preserving or recovering the detail information in result images. This study proposes an detail extraction network to estimate detail information from a noisy input image. Moreover, the extracted detail information is utilized to enhance the final denoised image. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can outperform the existing works by a subjective measurement.

Recently, Machine Learning-based visualization approaches have been proposed to combat the problem of malware detection. Unfortunately, these techniques are exposed to Adversarial examples. Adversarial examples are noises which can deceive the deep learning based malware detection network such that the malware becomes unrecognizable. To address the shortcomings of these approaches, we present Block-matching and 3D filtering (BM3D) algorithm and deep image prior based denoising technique to defend against adversarial examples on visualization-based malware detection systems. The BM3D based denoising method eliminates most of the adversarial noise. After that the deep image prior based denoising removes the remaining subtle noise. Experimental results on the MS BIG malware dataset and benign samples show that the proposed denoising based defense recovers the performance of the adversarial attacked CNN model for malware detection to some extent.

Images are unavoidably contaminated with different types of noise during the processes of image acquisition and transmission. The main forms of noise are impulse noise (is also called salt and pepper noise) and Gaussian noise. In this paper, an effective method of removing mixed noise from images is proposed. In general, different types of denoising methods are designed for different types of noise; for example, the median filter displays good performance in removing impulse noise, and the wavelet denoising algorithm displays good performance in removing Gaussian noise. However, images are affected by more than one type of noise in many cases. To reduce both impulse noise and Gaussian noise, this paper proposes a denoising method that combines adaptive median filtering (AMF) based on impulse noise detection with the wavelet threshold denoising method based on a Gaussian mixture model (GMM). The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves much better denoising performance than the median filter or the wavelet denoising method for images contaminated with mixed noise.

In this paper, a speed-up technique for the non-local means (NLM) image denoising method based on local binary descriptor (LBD) is proposed. In the NLM, most of the computation time is spent on searching for non-local similar patches in the search window. The local binary descriptor which represents the structure of patch as binary strings is employed to speed up the search process in the NLM. The descriptor allows for a fast and accurate preselection of non-local similar patches by bitwise operations. Using this approach, a tradeoff between time-saving and noise removal can be obtained. Simulations exhibit that despite being principally constructed for speed, the proposed algorithm outperforms in terms of denoising quality as well. Furthermore, a parallel implementation on GPU brings NLM-LBD to real-time image denoising.

Non-local means (NLM) algorithm is an effective and successful denoising method, but it is computationally heavy. To deal with this obstacle, we propose a novel NLM algorithm with fuzzy metric (FM-NLM) for image denoising in this paper. A new feature metric of visual features with fuzzy metric is utilized to measure the similarity between image pixels in the presence of Gaussian noise. Similarity measures of luminance and structure information are calculated using a fuzzy metric. A smooth kernel is constructed with the proposed fuzzy metric instead of the Gaussian weighted L2 norm kernel. The fuzzy metric and smooth kernel computationally simplify the NLM algorithm and avoid the filter parameters. Meanwhile, the proposed FM-NLM using visual structure preferably preserves the original undistorted image structures. The performance of the improved method is visually and quantitatively comparable with or better than that of the current state-of-the-art NLM-based denoising algorithms.

다지털 카메라의 mosaicked image는 Bayer CFA 등의 센서를 통해 획득되며 full resolution의 컬러 영상을 얻기 위해서는 demosaicking이라는 과정이 요구된다. 그러나 시그널이 센서를 통과할 때 noise가 더해지게 되기 때문에 이를 제거하기 위한 denoising process는 demosaicking 과정 전단에 반드시 고려되어야 하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 demosaicking과 denoising을 분석하고 효율적으로 noise를 제거하는 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬은 noiseless CFA에서 얻어지는 필터를 수정함으로서 얻어지며, 낮은 연산량과 함께 만족할만한 성능을 보여준다. CPSNR, SCIELAB, FSIM로 대표되는 화질 측정 방식들은 제안하는 알고리듬이 다양한 레벨의 noise를 효율적으로 제거한다는 것을 보여준다.
