Abstract
Block matching based 3D filtering methods have achieved great success in image denoising tasks. However, the manually set filtering operation could not well describe a good model to transform noisy images to clean images. In this paper, we introduce convolutional neural network (CNN) for the 3D filtering step to learn a well fitted model for denoising. With a trainable model, prior knowledge is utilized for better mapping from noisy images to clean images. This block matching and CNN joint model (BMCNN) could denoise images with different sizes and different noise intensity well, especially images with high noise levels. The experimental results demonstrate that among all competing methods, this method achieves the highest peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) when denoising images with high noise levels (σ > 40), and the best visual quality when denoising images with all the tested noise levels.
