Group sparsity has shown great potential in various low-level vision tasks (e.g, image denoising, deblurring and inpainting). In this paper, we propose a new prior model for image denoising via group sparsity residual constraint (GSRC). To enhance the performance of group sparse-based image denoising, the concept of group sparsity residual is proposed, and thus, the problem of image denoising is translated into one that reduces the group sparsity residual. To reduce the residual, we first obtain some good estimation of the group sparse coefficients of the original image by the first-pass estimation of noisy image, and then centralize the group sparse coefficients of noisy image to the estimation. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed method not only outperforms many state-of-the-art denoising methods such as BM3D and WNNM, but results in a faster speed.

Group-based sparse representation has shown great potential in image denoising. However, most existing methods only consider the nonlocal self-similarity (NSS) prior of noisy input image. That is, the similar patches are collected only from degraded
input, which makes the quality of image denoising largely depend on the input itself. However, such methods often suffer from a common drawback that the denoising performance may degrade quickly with increasing noise levels. In this paper we propose a new prior model, called group sparsity residual constraint (GSRC). Unlike the conventional group-based sparse representation denoising methods, two kinds of prior, namely, the NSS priors of noisy and pre-filtered images, are used in GSRC. In particular, we integrate these two NSS priors through the mechanism of sparsity residual, and thus, the task of image denoising is converted to the problem of reducing the group sparsity residual. To this end, we first obtain a good estimation of the group sparse coefficients of the original image by pre-filtering, and then the group sparse coefficients of the noisy image are used to approximate this estimation. To improve the accuracy of the nonlocal similar patch selection, an adaptive patch search scheme is designed. Furthermore, to fuse these two NSS prior better, an effective iterative shrinkage algorithm is developed to solve the proposed GSRC model. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed GSRC modeling outperforms many state-of-the-art denoising methods in terms of the objective and the perceptual metrics.
Inspired by group-based sparse coding, recently proposed group sparsity residual (GSR) scheme has demonstrated superior performance in image processing. However, one challenge in GSR is to estimate the residual by using a proper reference of the grou
p-based sparse coding (GSC), which is desired to be as close to the truth as possible. Previous researches utilized the estimations from other algorithms (i.e., GMM or BM3D), which are either not accurate or too slow. In this paper, we propose to use the Non-Local Samples (NLS) as reference in the GSR regime for image denoising, thus termed GSR-NLS. More specifically, we first obtain a good estimation of the group sparse coefficients by the image nonlocal self-similarity, and then solve the GSR model by an effective iterative shrinkage algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed GSR-NLS not only outperforms many state-of-the-art methods, but also delivers the competitive advantage of speed.
Modern digital cameras rely on the sequential execution of separate image processing steps to produce realistic images. The first two steps are usually related to denoising and demosaicking where the former aims to reduce noise from the sensor and th
e latter converts a series of light intensity readings to color images. Modern approaches try to jointly solve these problems, i.e. joint denoising-demosaicking which is an inherently ill-posed problem given that two-thirds of the intensity information is missing and the rest are perturbed by noise. While there are several machine learning systems that have been recently introduced to solve this problem, the majority of them relies on generic network architectures which do not explicitly take into account the physical image model. In this work we propose a novel algorithm which is inspired by powerful classical image regularization methods, large-scale optimization, and deep learning techniques. Consequently, our derived iterative optimization algorithm, which involves a trainable denoising network, has a transparent and clear interpretation compared to other black-box data driven approaches. Our extensive experimentation line demonstrates that our proposed method outperforms any previous approaches for both noisy and noise-free data across many different datasets. This improvement in reconstruction quality is attributed to the rigorous derivation of an iterative solution and the principled way we design our denoising network architecture, which as a result requires fewer trainable parameters than the current state-of-the-art solution and furthermore can be efficiently trained by using a significantly smaller number of training data than existing deep demosaicking networks.

Demosaicking and denoising are among the most crucial steps of modern digital camera pipelines and their joint treatment is a highly ill-posed inverse problem where at-least two-thirds of the information are missing and the rest are corrupted by nois
e. This poses a great challenge in obtaining meaningful reconstructions and a special care for the efficient treatment of the problem is required. While there are several machine learning approaches that have been recently introduced to deal with joint image demosaicking-denoising, in this work we propose a novel deep learning architecture which is inspired by powerful classical image regularization methods and large-scale convex optimization techniques. Consequently, our derived network is more transparent and has a clear interpretation compared to alternative competitive deep learning approaches. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that our network outperforms any previous approaches on both noisy and noise-free data. This improvement in reconstruction quality is attributed to the principled way we design our network architecture, which also requires fewer trainable parameters than the current state-of-the-art deep network solution. Finally, we show that our network has the ability to generalize well even when it is trained on small datasets, while keeping the overall number of trainable parameters low.
Image denoising is a fundamental operation in image processing and holds considerable practical importance for various real-world applications. Arguably several thousands of papers are dedicated to image denoising. In the past decade, sate-of-the-art
denoising algorithm have been clearly dominated by non-local patch-based methods, which explicitly exploit patch self-similarity within image. However, in recent two years, discriminatively trained local approaches have started to outperform previous non-local models and have been attracting increasing attentions due to the additional advantage of computational efficiency. Successful approaches include cascade of shrinkage fields (CSF) and trainable nonlinear reaction diffusion (TNRD). These two methods are built on filter response of linear filters of small size using feed forward architectures. Due to the locality inherent in local approaches, the CSF and TNRD model become less effective when noise level is high and consequently introduces some noise artifacts. In order to overcome this problem, in this paper we introduce a multi-scale strategy. To be specific, we build on our newly-developed TNRD model, adopting the multi-scale pyramid image representation to devise a multi-scale nonlinear diffusion process. As expected, all the parameters in the proposed multi-scale diffusion model, including the filters and the influence functions across scales, are learned from training data through a loss based approach. Numerical results on Gaussian and Poisson denoising substantiate that the exploited multi-scale strategy can successfully boost the performance of the original TNRD model with single scale. As a consequence, the resulting multi-scale diffusion models can significantly suppress the typical incorrect features for those noisy images with heavy noise.
