Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Recently image denoiser networks have made a number of advances to go beyond additive Gaussian white noise and deal with real noise, such as produced by digital cameras. We note that some of the performance gains reported in the state of the art could potentially be explained by an increase of network sizes. In this paper we propose to revisit some of these advances, including the synthetic noise generator and noise maps proposed in CBDNet, and re-assess them using a simple DnCNN baseline network and thus attempt at measuring how much gains can be attributed to using more modern architectures. In this work, we observe an increase of over +2 dB in denoising performance over our baseline network on the DND real world benchmark. Through this observation, we demonstrate that a smaller networks can offer competitive denoising results when correctly optimised for real world denoising.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
