Image denoising for real image sensors

Zhang, Jiachao

Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science (M.S.), University of Dayton, Electrical Engineering.
This paper describes a study aimed at comparing the real image sensor noise distribution to the models of noise often assumed in image denoising designs. Quantile analysis in pixel, wavelet, and variance stabilization domains reveal that the tails of Poisson, signal-dependent Gaussian, and Poisson-Gaussian models are too short to capture real sensor noise behavior. A new Poisson mixture noise model is proposed in this work to calibrate the mismatch of tail behavior. Based on the fact that noise model mismatch results in image denoising that undersmoothes real sensor data, we offer a new Poisson mixture image denoising scheme to overcome the problem. Experiments with real sensor data verify that the undersmooth is effectively improved.
