Rician Noise Removal via a Learned Dictionary

Abstract EN

This paper proposes a new effective model for denoising images with Rician noise.

The sparse representations of images have been shown to be efficient approaches for image processing.

Inspired by this, we learn a dictionary from the noisy image and then combine the MAP model with it for Rician noise removal.

For solving the proposed model, the primal-dual algorithm is applied and its convergence is studied.

The computational results show that the proposed method is promising in restoring images with Rician noise.
