摘要
Deep learning models with convolutional operators have received widespread attention for their good image denoising performance. However, since the convolutional operation prefers to extract local features, the extracted features may lose some global information, such as texture, structure, and color characteristics, when the object in the image is large. To address this issue, this paper proposes an N-shaped convolutional neural network with the ability to extract multi-scale features to capture more useful information and alleviate the problem of global information loss. The proposed network has two main parts: a multi-scale input layer and a multi-scale feature extraction layer. The former uses a two-dimensional Haar wavelet to create an image pyramid, which contains the corrupted image's high- and low-frequency components at different scales. The latter uses a U-shaped convolutional network to extract features at different scales from this image pyramid. The method sets the mean-squared error as the loss function and uses the residual learning strategy to learn the image noise directly. Compared with some existing image denoising methods, the proposed method shows good performance in gray and color image denoising, especially in textures and contours.
