Abstract

The key of image denoising algorithms is to preserve the details of the original image while denoising the noise in the image. The existing algorithms use the external information to better preserve the details of the image, but the use of external information needs the support of similar images or image patches. In this paper, an edge-aware image denoising algorithm is proposed to achieve the goal of preserving the details of original image while denoising and using only the characteristics of the noisy image. In general, image denoising algorithms use the noise prior to set parameters todenoise the noisy image. In this paper, it is found that the details of original image can be better preserved by combining the prior information of noise and the image edge features to set denoising parameters. The experimental results show that the proposed edge-aware image denoising algorithm can effectively improve the performance of block-matching and 3D filtering and patch group prior-based denoising algorithms and obtain higher peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity values.
