IMAGE DENOISING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240320805 titled 'IMAGE DENOISING METHOD

The image denoising method described in the abstract involves several steps to remove noise from a noisy image using deep learning techniques.

  • Extract a noise patch from the noisy image.
  • Output a noise parameter by inputting the noise patch to a noise parameter estimation network (NPE-net).
  • Generate imitated virtual noise based on the output noise parameter.
  • Create a noisier image by adding the imitated virtual noise to the noisy image.
  • Train a denoise deep learning model by inputting the noisy image and the noisier image as a pair.
  • Input the noisy image to the trained denoise deep learning model.
  • Output a denoised image obtained by removing noise from the noisy image using the trained denoise deep learning model.
