Monochromatic images are often affected by noise, which reduces the quality of the results. Deterministic algorithms like Non-Local-Means and Block-Matching-3D are commonly used to reduce noise. This article focuses on using machine learning to denoise monochromatic images, even without access to noise-free data, and demonstrates that ML-based methods can achieve high performance.
Monochromatic images are used mainly in cases where the intensity of the received signal is examined. The identification of the observed objects as well as the estimation of intensity emitted by them depends largely on the precision of light measurement in image pixels. Unfortunately, this type of imaging is often affected by noise, which significantly degrades the quality of the results. In order to reduce it, numerous deterministic algorithms are used, with Non-Local-Means and Block-Matching-3D being the most widespread and treated as the reference point of the current state-of-the-art. Our article focuses on the utilization of machine learning (ML) for the denoising of monochromatic images in multiple data availability scenarios, including those with no access to noise-free data. For this purpose, a simple autoencoder architecture was chosen and checked for various training approaches on two large and widely used image datasets: MNIST and CIFAR-10. The results show that the method of training as well as architecture and the similarity of images within the image dataset significantly affect the ML-based denoising. However, even without access to any clear data, the performance of such algorithms is frequently well above the current state-of-the-art; therefore, they should be considered for monochromatic image denoising.
