Deep learning based image denoising methods have been recently popular due to their improved performance. Traditionally, these methods are trained in a supervised manner, requiring a set of noisy input and clean target image pairs. More recently, self-supervised approaches have been proposed to learn denoising from only noisy images. These methods assume that noise across pixels is statistically independent, and the underlying image pixels show spatial correlations across neighborhoods. These methods rely on a masking approach that divides the image pixels into two disjoint sets, where one is used as input to the network while the other is used to define the loss. However, these previous self-supervised approaches rely on a purely data-driven regularization neural network without explicitly taking the masking model into account. In this work, building on these self-supervised approaches, we introduce Noise2Inpaint (N2I), a training approach that recasts the denoising problem into a regularized image inpainting framework. This allows us to use an objective function, which can incorporate different statistical properties of the noise as needed. We use algorithm unrolling to unroll an iterative optimization for solving this objective function and train the unrolled network end-to-end. The training paradigm follows the masking approach from previous works, splitting the pixels into two disjoint sets. Importantly, one of these is now used to impose data fidelity in the unrolled network, while the other still defines the loss. We demonstrate that N2I performs successful denoising on real-world datasets, while better preserving details compared to its purely data-driven counterpart Noise2Self.

High spatial and temporal resolution across the whole brain is essential to accurately resolve neural activities in fMRI. Therefore, accelerated imaging techniques target improved coverage with high spatio-temporal resolution. Simultaneous multi-slic e (SMS) imaging combined with in-plane acceleration are used in large studies that involve ultrahigh field fMRI, such as the Human Connectome Project. However, for even higher acceleration rates, these methods cannot be reliably utilized due to aliasing and noise artifacts. Deep learning (DL) reconstruction techniques have recently gained substantial interest for improving highly-accelerated MRI. Supervised learning of DL reconstructions generally requires fully-sampled training datasets, which is not available for high-resolution fMRI studies. To tackle this challenge, self-supervised learning has been proposed for training of DL reconstruction with only undersampled datasets, showing similar performance to supervised learning. In this study, we utilize a self-supervised physics-guided DL reconstruction on a 5-fold SMS and 4-fold in-plane accelerated 7T fMRI data. Our results show that our self-supervised DL reconstruction produce high-quality images at this 20-fold acceleration, substantially improving on existing methods, while showing similar functional precision and temporal effects in the subsequent analysis compared to a standard 10-fold accelerated acquisition.
In recent years, self-supervised denoising methods have shown impressive performance, which circumvent painstaking collection procedure of noisy-clean image pairs in supervised denoising methods and boost denoising applicability in real world. One of well-known self-supervised denoising strategies is the blind-spot training scheme. However, a few works attempt to improve blind-spot based self-denoiser in the aspect of network architecture. In this paper, we take an intuitive view of blind-spot strategy and consider its process of using neighbor pixels to predict manipulated pixels as an inpainting process. Therefore, we propose a novel Mask Guided Residual Convolution (MGRConv) into common convolutional neural networks, e.g. U-Net, to promote blind-spot based denoising. Our MGRConv can be regarded as soft partial convolution and find a trade-off among partial convolution, learnable attention maps, and gated convolution. It enables dynamic mask learning with appropriate mask constrain. Different from partial convolution and gated convolution, it provides moderate freedom for network learning. It also avoids leveraging external learnable parameters for mask activation, unlike learnable attention maps. The experiments show that our proposed plug-and-play MGRConv can assist blind-spot based denoising network to reach promising results on both existing single-image based and dataset-based methods.
We seek to reconstruct sharp and noise-free high-dynamic range (HDR) video from a dual-exposure sensor that records different low-dynamic range (LDR) information in different pixel columns: Odd columns provide low-exposure, sharp, but noisy informati on; even columns complement this with less noisy, high-exposure, but motion-blurred data. Previous LDR work learns to deblur and denoise (DISTORTED->CLEAN) supervised by pairs of CLEAN and DISTORTED images. Regrettably, capturing DISTORTED sensor readings is time-consuming; as well, there is a lack of CLEAN HDR videos. We suggest a method to overcome those two limitations. First, we learn a different function instead: CLEAN->DISTORTED, which generates samples containing correlated pixel noise, and row and column noise, as well as motion blur from a low number of CLEAN sensor readings. Second, as there is not enough CLEAN HDR video available, we devise a method to learn from LDR video in-stead. Our approach compares favorably to several strong baselines, and can boost existing methods when they are re-trained on our data. Combined with spatial and temporal super-resolution, it enables applications such as re-lighting with low noise or blur.
Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for video denoising are typically trained with supervision, assuming the availability of clean videos. However, in many applications, such as microscopy, noiseless videos are not available. To address this, w e propose an Unsupervised Deep Video Denoiser (UDVD), a CNN architecture designed to be trained exclusively with noisy data. The performance of UDVD is comparable to the supervised state-of-the-art, even when trained only on a single short noisy video. We demonstrate the promise of our approach in real-world imaging applications by denoising raw video, fluorescence-microscopy and electron-microscopy data. In contrast to many current approaches to video denoising, UDVD does not require explicit motion compensation. This is advantageous because motion compensation is computationally expensive, and can be unreliable when the input data are noisy. A gradient-based analysis reveals that UDVD automatically adapts to local motion in the input noisy videos. Thus, the network learns to perform implicit motion compensation, even though it is only trained for denoising.
Image denoising is one of the most critical problems in mobile photo processing. While many solutions have been proposed for this task, they are usually working with synthetic data and are too computationally expensive to run on mobile devices. To ad dress this problem, we introduce the first Mobile AI challenge, where the target is to develop an end-to-end deep learning-based image denoising solution that can demonstrate high efficiency on smartphone GPUs. For this, the participants were provided with a novel large-scale dataset consisting of noisy-clean image pairs captured in the wild. The runtime of all models was evaluated on the Samsung Exynos 2100 chipset with a powerful Mali GPU capable of accelerating floating-point and quantized neural networks. The proposed solutions are fully compatible with any mobile GPU and are capable of processing 480p resolution images under 40-80 ms while achieving high fidelity results. A detailed description of all models developed in the challenge is provided in this paper.
