Low-Frequency Image Noise Removal Using White Noise Filter
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Image noise filters usually assume noise as white Gaussian. However, in a capturing pipeline, noise often becomes spatially correlated due to in-camera processing that aims to suppress the noise and increase the compression rate. Mostly, only high-frequency noise components are suppressed since the image signal is more likely to appear in the low-frequency components of the captured image. As a result, noise emerges as coarse grain which makes white (all-pass) noise filters ineffective, especially when the resolution of the target display is lower than the captured image. Denoising of image approximation in coarse scale has the advantage of removing low-frequency noise, however, lack of spatial resolution degrades the image quality. This paper presents an approach for a coarse-grain removal. Our approach utilizes existing white Gaussian noise filters to address low-frequency component of spatially correlated noises, employing pixel decoupling, local shrinkage, and soft thresholding. Subjective and objective results show that the proposed approach better handles low-frequency noise compared to related work.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
