In this paper, we present a denoising method of using multiple image composition based on the color transform of local color distribution of patches. In the method, the color of a guidance image is transformed so as to get close to a noisy input image by a patch-wise color transform. As a result, a noiseless image is obtained. Actually this method can be regarded as the generalized version of our previous method [1] and the guided filter [2], and gives improved images with more clear appearance. The existing methods have a restriction that a filter output form is expressed only by a linear transform, i.e., a first order polynomial. In this paper, we introduce a more general formula for this category of filtering with the guidance image. We deal with a quadratic formula for realizing more flexible transform instead of the previous linear transform, and moreover introduce more simple and flexible regularization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
