Paper Abstract
Image denoising manages to recover a digital image from its noisy version by exploring the statistical features inside a
given noisy image. Most denoising methods perform well at low noise levels but lose efficiency at higher ones. In this
paper, we propose a novel image denoising method, which restores an image by exploiting the correlations between the
noisy image and the images retrieved from the cloud. Given a noisy image, we first retrieve relevant images based on
feature-level similarity. These images are then geometrically aligned to the noisy image to increase global statistical
correlation. Using the aligned images as references, we propose recovering the image with patch-level noise removal.
For each noisy patch, we first retrieve similar patches from the references and stack these patches (including the noisy
one) into a three dimensional (3D) group. We then obtain the noise free (NF) patches by collaborative filtering over the
3D groups. These recovered NF patches are aggregated together, producing the desired NF image. Experimental results
demonstrate that our scheme achieves significantly better results compared to state-of-the-art methods in terms of both
objective and subjective qualities.
