Single Infrared Image Optical Noise Removal Using a Deep Convolutional Neural Network

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a deep learning method for single infrared image optical noise removal. With a fully convolutional neural network, it is able to eliminate the optical noise in single infrared image. Our architecture consists of two networks: a denoising network and a conditional discriminator. The denoising network takes a noise image as input and outputs a denoising result, while the discriminator tries to make the output look more like the target. Actually, only in the testing phase, this method is feed-forward. Significant image quality in experiments is achieved compared with the existing method.
