Systems and methods to reduce unstructured and structured noise in image data

Abstract

A multi-stage deep learning method is provided, comprising training a deep learning network using a set of training pairs interchangeably including input data from a first noisy dataset with a first noise level and target data from a second noisy dataset with a second noise level, and input data from the second noisy dataset and target data from the first noisy dataset; generating an ultra -low noise data equivalent based on a low noise data fed into the trained deep learning network; and retraining the deep learning network on the set of training pairs using the target data of the set of training pairs in a first retraining step, and using the ultra-low noise data equivalent as target data in a second retraining step.
