MD<sup>3</sup>: Model-Driven Deep Remotely Sensed Image Denoising

Remotely sensed images degraded by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) have low-level vision, resulting in a poor analysis of their contents. To reduce AWGN, two types of denoising strategies, sparse-coding-model-based and deep-neural-network-based (DNN), are commonly utilized, which have their res...

description Remotely sensed images degraded by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) have low-level vision, resulting in a poor analysis of their contents. To reduce AWGN, two types of denoising strategies, sparse-coding-model-based and deep-neural-network-based (DNN), are commonly utilized, which have their respective merits and drawbacks. For example, the former pursue enjoyable performance with a high computational burden, while the latter have powerful capacity in completing a specified task efficiently, but this limits their application range. To combine their merits for improving performance efficiently, this paper proposes a model-driven deep denoising (MD<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mrow></mrow><mn>3</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula>) scheme. To solve the MD<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mrow></mrow><mn>3</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula> model, we first decomposed it into several subproblems by the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). Then, the denoising subproblems are replaced by different learnable denoisers, which are plugged into the unfolded MD<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mrow></mrow><mn>3</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula> model to efficiently produce a stable solution. Both quantitative and qualitative results validate that the proposed MD<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mrow></mrow><mn>3</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula> approach is effective and efficient, while it has a more powerful ability in generating enjoyable denoising performance and preserving rich textures than other advanced methods.
