Combined Internal and External Category-Specific Image Denoising
Saeed Anwar, Cong Huynh and Fatih Porikli
Abstract
In this paper, we present a category-specific image denoising algorithm that exploits
patch similarity within the input image and between the input image and an external
dataset. We rely on standard internal denoising for smooth regions while consulting external images in the same category as the input to denoise textured regions. The external
denoising component estimates the latent patches using the statistics, i.e. means and covariance matrices, of external patches, subject to a low-rank constraint. In the final stage,
we aggregate results of internal and external denoising using a weighting rule based
on the patch SNR measure.
