A Comprehensive Comparison of Multi-Dimensional Image Denoising Methods (2011.03462v1)

Published 6 Nov 2020 in eess.IV and cs.CV

Abstract: Filtering multi-dimensional images such as color images, color videos, multispectral images and magnetic resonance images is challenging in terms of both effectiveness and efficiency. Leveraging the nonlocal self-similarity (NLSS) characteristic of images and sparse representation in the transform domain, the block-matching and 3D filtering (BM3D) based methods show powerful denoising performance. Recently, numerous new approaches with different regularization terms, transforms and advanced deep neural network (DNN) architectures are proposed to improve denoising quality. In this paper, we extensively compare over 60 methods on both synthetic and real-world datasets. We also introduce a new color image and video dataset for benchmarking, and our evaluations are performed from four different perspectives including quantitative metrics, visual effects, human ratings and computational cost. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate: (i) the effectiveness and efficiency of the BM3D family for various denoising tasks, (ii) a simple matrix-based algorithm could produce similar results compared with its tensor counterparts, and (iii) several DNN models trained with synthetic Gaussian noise show state-of-the-art performance on real-world color image and video datasets. Despite the progress in recent years, we discuss shortcomings and possible extensions of existing techniques. Datasets and codes for evaluation are made publicly available at https://github.com/ZhaomingKong/Denoising-Comparison.
