Abstract
The present invention relates to a device () for denoising a vector-valued image, the device () comprising: a generator (), which is configured to generate an initial loss function (L_I) comprising at least one initial covariance matrix (ICM) defining a model of correlated noise for each pixel of the vector-valued image; a processor (), which is configured to provide a final loss function (L_F) comprising a set of at least one final covariance matrix (FCM) based on the initial loss function by modifying at least one submatrix and/or at least one matrix element of the initial covariance matrix (ICM); and a noise-suppressor (), which is configured to denoise the vector-valued image using the final loss function (L_F) comprising the set of the at least one final covariance matrix (FCM).
