    Area of Science:

    • Computer Vision
    • Image Processing
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Traditional Non-Local Means (NLM) denoising methods struggle with transformed similar patches in real-world images.
    • Exploiting self-similarities is crucial for effective image denoising.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To extend the Non-Local Means (NLM) denoising method by incorporating affine invariant self-similarities.
    • To improve image denoising performance by accurately identifying and utilizing transformed similar image patches.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed an affine invariant patch similarity measure for robust patch comparison.
    • Implemented adaptive patch size and shape adaptation for intrinsic comparison.
    • Extended the Non-Local Means algorithm to exploit these affine invariant self-similarities.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method consistently outperforms the standard Non-Local Means in terms of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR).
    • Achieved state-of-the-art qualitative results in image denoising.
    • Demonstrated superior performance in identifying and leveraging transformed similar patches.

    Conclusions:

    • The extension of Non-Local Means with affine invariant self-similarities significantly enhances image denoising.
    • The adaptive patch comparison method effectively addresses transformations, leading to better denoising outcomes.
    • This approach represents a state-of-the-art solution for image denoising in real-world scenarios.
