Gaussian Noise Level Estimation For Color Image Denoising
JOURNAL OF THE OPTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA A-OPTICS IMAGE SCIENCE AND VISION(2021)
摘要
Noise level is an important parameter in many visual applications, especially in image denoising. How to accurately estimate the noise level from a noisy image is a challenging problem. However, for color image denoising, it is not that the more accurate the noise level is, the better the denoising performance is, but that the noise level higher than the true noise can achieve a better denoising result. For better denoising, we propose a statistical iterative method based on low-rank image patches. We select the low-rank patches in the image and calculate the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of these patches. Unlike the existing methods that take the smallest eigenvalue as the estimated noise level, the proposed method analyzes the relationship between the median value and the mean value of the eigenvalue according to the statistical property and selects an appropriate number of eigenvalues to average as the estimated noise level. Extensive experiments are conducted, demonstrating that our estimated noise level reaches the highest value of all comparison methods. And the denoising results on color images of our method outperform all the state-of-the-art methods and the true noise level. (c) 2021 Optical Society of America
