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 group-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.

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.
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 th
e 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.
In this paper, we propose a residual non-local attention network for high-quality image restoration. Without considering the uneven distribution of information in the corrupted images, previous methods are restricted by local convolutional operation
and equal treatment of spatial- and channel-wise features. To address this issue, we design local and non-local attention blocks to extract features that capture the long-range dependencies between pixels and pay more attention to the challenging parts. Specifically, we design trunk branch and (non-)local mask branch in each (non-)local attention block. The trunk branch is used to extract hierarchical features. Local and non-local mask branches aim to adaptively rescale these hierarchical features with mixed attentions. The local mask branch concentrates on more local structures with convolutional operations, while non-local attention considers more about long-range dependencies in the whole feature map. Furthermore, we propose residual local and non-local attention learning to train the very deep network, which further enhance the representation ability of the network. Our proposed method can be generalized for various image restoration applications, such as image denoising, demosaicing, compression artifacts reduction, and super-resolution. Experiments demonstrate that our method obtains comparable or better results compared with recently leading methods quantitatively and visually.
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.

Nonlocal image representation or group sparsity has attracted considerable interest in various low-level vision tasks and has led to several state-of-the-art image denoising techniques, such as BM3D, LSSC. In the past, convex optimization with sparsi
ty-promoting convex regularization was usually regarded as a standard scheme for estimating sparse signals in noise. However, using convex regularization can not still obtain the correct sparsity solution under some practical problems including image inverse problems. In this paper we propose a non-convex weighted $ell_p$ minimization based group sparse representation (GSR) framework for image denoising. To make the proposed scheme tractable and robust, the generalized soft-thresholding (GST) algorithm is adopted to solve the non-convex $ell_p$ minimization problem. In addition, to improve the accuracy of the nonlocal similar patches selection, an adaptive patch search (APS) scheme is proposed. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed approach not only outperforms many state-of-the-art denoising methods such as BM3D and WNNM, but also results in a competitive speed.
