Abstract
Deep learning-based methods have dominated the field of image denoising with their superior performance. Most of them belong to the non-blind denoising approaches assuming that the noise is known at a specific level. However, real-world noise is complex and usually unknown. Since the distribution and level of noise are often unavailable, it will lead to severe performance degradation for non-blind denoising methods. Therefore, introducing noise levels is crucial for the challenging real-world denoising problem. Meanwhile, we observe that noise level mismatch will bring some artifacts to the denoised images. An intuitive solution is using the intermediate denoised images to correct the inaccurate noise level maps. Thus, we introduce an iterative correction scheme, yielding better results than direct noise prediction. We further propose an effective guided feature domain denoising residual network that can promote denoising for various real-world noises using iteratively denoised features, initial image features, and noise level maps. Experimental results on real-world image datasets show that the proposed method can provide excellent visual and objective performance for the real-world denoising task.
