| Abstract: |
With the great breakthrough of supervised learning in the field of denoising, more and more works focus on end-to-end learning to train denoisers. In practice, however, it can be very challenging to obtain labels in support of this approach. The premise of this method is effective is that there is certain data support, but in practice, it is particularly difficult to obtain labels in the training data. Several unsupervised denoisers have emerged in recent years; however, to ensure their effectiveness, the noise model must be determined in advance, which limits the practical use of unsupervised denoising.n addition, obtaining inaccurate noise prior to noise estimation algorithms leads to low denoising accuracy. Therefore, we design a more practical denoiser that requires neither clean images as training labels nor noise model assumptions. Our method also needs the support of the noise model; the difference is that the model is generated by a residual image and a random mask during the network training process, and the input and target of the network are generated from a single noisy image and the noise model. At the same time, an unsupervised module and a pseudo supervised module are trained. The extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework and even surpass the accuracy of supervised denoising. |
