A Multi-scale Video Denoising Algorithm for Raw Image

원문 초록

Video denoising for raw image has always been the difficulty of camera image processing. On the one hand, image denoising performance largely determines the image quality, moreover denoising effect in raw image will affect the accuracy of the following operations of ISP processing flow. On the other hand, compared with image, video have motion information in time sequence, thus motion estimation which is complex and computationally expensive is needed in video denoising. In view of the above problems, this paper proposes a video denoising algorithm for raw image, performing multiple cascading processing stages on raw-RGB image based on convolutional neural network, and carries out implicit motion estimation in the network. The denoising performance is far superior to that of traditional algorithms with minimal computation and bandwidth, and has computational advantages compared with most deep learning algorithms.
