Abstract
A method denoises a noisy image by, for each pixel in the noisy image, first constructing a key from a patch, wherein the patch includes locally neighboring pixels around the pixel. A function is selected from a function library using the key. Then, the function is applied to the patch to generate a corresponding noise free pixel for the pixel.
