Upcoming Webinar! December 10, 2019
Webinar Topic: "Toward Efficient and Flexible CNN-based Denoising in Photography" 

Presented by Dr. Wangmeng Zuo and based on an IEEE Xplore article
published in IEEE Transactions on Image Processing

About this Topic:

This webinar, “Toward Efficient and Flexible CNN-based Denoising in Photography,” begins with the design of denoising CNN (DnCNN) model by incorporating residual learning and batch normalization. Then, a flexible denoising CNN (FFDNet) is presented to handle Gaussian denoising with any or even spatially variant noise levels. Finally, several remarks are provided to develop CNNs for denoising in real photography by incorporating noise level estimation and non-blind denoising.
