However, this property of L2 loss also ensures that, adding some zero-mean noise to
clean images will not change the optimization goal
•
Therefore we can train the network to transfer noise to noise, while achieving the same
result as noise2clean
•
Note that two group noisy images must have the same content and
independent
noise
•
what if we don’t have these new independent noisy images?
Noise2Void
•
If we don’t have new noisy images, we can only set the input image as training
target. But the network will learn the identity function by simply picking the
center pixel from its receptive field
•
Now we remove the center pixel from the receptive field
•
Assuming noises in different pixels are independent, then the input-output-
independence is satisfied again!
Implementation Details
a)
The noisy image
b)
The receptive field of a pixel. During N2V training, a randomly selected pixel is
chosen (blue rectangle) and its intensity copied over to create a blind-spot
c)
The modified patch is used as input and unmodified pixel value is used as
target
In
practice, we crop patches larger than the receptive field and randomly select
several blind-spot to modify and calculate the loss.
Experiments
Errors and Limitations
Comments
Pros
•
interesting and novel idea
•
can be used when clean images are unavailable
Cons
•
too strong assumptions
•
cannot evaluate performance
