Image denoising with less artefacts: Novel non-linear filtering on fast patch reorderings

Kireeti Bodduna, Joachim Weickert

英文摘要：

Leading denoising methods such as 3D block matching (BM3D) are patch-based. However, they can suffer from frequency domain artefacts and require to specify explicit noise models. We present a patch-based method that avoids these drawbacks. It combines a simple and fast patch reordering with a non-linear smoothing. The smoothing rewards both patch and pixel similarities in a multiplicative way. We perform experiments on real world images with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), and on electron microscopy data with a more general additive noise model. Our filter outperforms BM3D in 77% of the experiments, with improvements of up to 29% with respect to the mean squared error.

Patch Reordering: a Novel Way to Achieve Rotation and Translation Invariance in Convolutional Neural Networks

University of Science and Technology of China（中国科学技术大学）；University of Technology Sydney（悉尼科技大学）

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance on many visual recognition tasks. However, the combination of convolution and pooling operations only shows invariance to small local location changes in meaningful objects in input. Sometimes, such networks are trained using data augmentation to encode this invariance into the parameters, which restricts the capacity of the model to learn the content of these objects. A more efficient use of the parameter budget is to encode rotation or translation invariance into the model architecture, which relieves the mod…

Motion-related Artefact Classification Using Patch-based Ensemble and Transfer Learning in Cardiac MRI

University of Nottingham（诺丁汉大学）

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the analysis of cardiac function. However, the acquisition is often accompanied by motion artefacts because of the difficulty of breath-hold, especially for acute symptoms patients. Therefore, it is essential to assess the quality of cardiac MRI for further analysis. Time-consuming manual-based classification is not conducive to the construction of an end-to-end computer aided diagnostic system. To overcome this problem, an automatic cardiac MRI quality estimation framework using ensemble and transfer learning is proposed in t…

BINet: a binary inpainting network for deep patch-based image compression

Stellenbosch University（斯泰伦博斯大学）

Recent deep learning models outperform standard lossy image compression codecs. However, applying these models on a patch-by-patch basis requires that each image patch be encoded and decoded independently. The influence from adjacent patches is therefore lost, leading to block artefacts at low bitrates. We propose the Binary Inpainting Network (BINet), an autoencoder framework which incorporates binary inpainting to reinstate interdependencies between adjacent patches, for improved patch-based compression of still images. When decoding a patch, BINet additionally uses the binarised encodings f…

Regional Registration of Whole Slide Image Stacks Containing Highly Deformed Artefacts

Motivation: High resolution 2D whole slide imaging provides rich information about the tissue structure. This information can be a lot richer if these 2D images can be stacked into a 3D tissue volume. A 3D analysis, however, requires accurate reconstruction of the tissue volume from the 2D image stack. This task is not trivial due to the distortions that each individual tissue slice experiences while cutting and mounting the tissue on the glass slide. Performing registration for the whole tissue slices may be adversely affected by the deformed tissue regions. Consequently, regional registratio…

Introducing Hann windows for reducing edge-effects in patch-based image segmentation

Uppsala University（乌普萨拉大学）；SciLifeLab（瑞典国家生命科学实验室）

There is a limitation in the size of an image that can be processed using computationally demanding methods such as e.g. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Some imaging modalities - notably biological and medical - can result in images up to a few gigapixels in size, meaning that they have to be divided into smaller parts, or patches, for processing. However, when performing image segmentation, this may lead to undesirable artefacts, such as edge effects in the final re-combined image. We introduce windowing methods from signal processing to effectively reduce such edge effects. With the as…

Contextual colorization and denoising for low-light ultra high resolution sequences

University of Bristol（布里斯托大学）

Low-light image sequences generally suffer from spatio-temporal incoherent noise, flicker and blurring of moving objects. These artefacts significantly reduce visual quality and, in most cases, post-processing is needed in order to generate acceptable quality. Most state-of-the-art enhancement methods based on machine learning require ground truth data but this is not usually available for naturally captured low light sequences. We tackle these problems with an unpaired-learning method that offers simultaneous colorization and denoising. Our approach is an adaptation of the CycleGAN structure.…

Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) Powered Fast Magnetic Resonance Imaging -- Mini Review, Comparison and Perspectives

Imperial College London（伦敦帝国理工学院）；Royal Brompton Hospital（皇家布朗普顿医院）；Yantai University（烟台大学）；University of Cambridge（剑桥大学）；Beijing Institute of Technology（北京理工大学）

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a vital component of medical imaging. When compared to other image modalities, it has advantages such as the absence of radiation, superior soft tissue contrast, and complementary multiple sequence information. However, one drawback of MRI is its comparatively slow scanning and reconstruction compared to other image modalities, limiting its usage in some clinical applications when imaging time is critical. Traditional compressive sensing based MRI (CS-MRI) reconstruction can speed up MRI acquisition, but suffers from a long iterative process and noise-induce…
