Image Denoising by Exploring External and Internal

Correlations
ABSTRACT:
Single image denoising suffers from limited data collection within a noisy image.
In this paper, we propose a novel image denoising scheme, which explores both
internal and external correlations with the help of web images. For each noisy
patch, we build internal and external data cubes by finding similar patches from the
noisy and web images, respectively. We then propose reducing noise by a twostage strategy using different filtering approaches. In the first stage, since the noisy
patch may lead to inaccurate patch selection, we propose a graph based
optimization method to improve patch matching accuracy in external denoising.
The internal denoising is frequency truncation on internal cubes. By combining the
internal and external denoising patches, we obtain a preliminary denoising result.
In the second stage, we propose reducing noise by filtering of external and internal
cubes, respectively, on transform domain. In this stage, the preliminary denoising
result not only enhances the patch matching accuracy but also provides reliable
estimates of filtering parameters. The final denoising image is obtained by fusing
the external and internal filtering results. Experimental results show that our
method constantly outperforms state-of-the-art denoising schemes in both

subjective and objective quality measurements, e.g., it achieves >2 dB gain

compared with BM3D at a wide range of noise levels.

EXISTING SYSTEM:
During few past decades we were using pixel level filtering methods, like
Gaussian filtering, Bilateral filtering and total variation regularization and
patch filtering methods, such as non-local means block matching 3D
filtering(BM3D) and low rank regularization.
Besides Single-image based de-noising methods, other promising de-noising
methods are learning based such as fields of experts, maximizing expected
patch log likelihood (EPLL) and neural network training.
They restore the noisy image by integrating natural image priors into the
under-constrained restoration problem. The image denoising performance
was then go with using landmark and multi-view images as a consideration
of getting correlated images as an external dataset.
This process of using correlated images has springed up in many computer
vision and image completion, image compression sketch to photo, image
super-resolution DE blurring and de-noising.

DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM:

Single image based de-noising performance is dropped seriously due to
increasing noise level after recovery.
Since the noise level is high, the accuracy will suffer from significant loss.
BM3D is noteworthy that they utilize the same database for all kinds of
noisy images. i.e., there is no prior for the noisy image scene being used.it
will result in annoying artifacts.
The system which obtain the correlated images as external datasets and
images captured by multi-view camera will explore only the external
correlation without exploring internal correlations

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
In this paper we propose our system with the extension of existing system
for image denoising by exploring both internal and external correlations.
Correlations and a graph optimization method to improve patch matching
accuracy and introduce a more effective filtering methods.
In this paper we have two contribution in first stage we design different
external and internal filtering strategies to remove its noise. In the external
denoising, the graph based optimization method to improve patch matching

accuracy between a noisy patch and clean patches in external correlated

images is proposed.
In the internal denoising, 3D frequency domain filtering is performed. These
two denoising results are then combined in frequency domain to produce a
preliminary denoising image.
In second stage, we propose a two-stage based denoising strategy to fully
take advantage of external and internal correlations. The de-noising result at
the first stage is used to improve image registration, patch matching and
estimation of filtering parameters.

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM:

In our system, the correlated images captured by different settings like focal
length, view point, resolution.
Our scheme could well handle noisy patches that have no matched patches
in the external dataset.
