The code in this package implements the Trilateral Weighted Sparse Coding Scheme for real color image denoising as described in the following paper:

@article{TWSC_ECCV2018,        
         author = {Jun Xu and Lei Zhang and David Zhang},        
         title = {A Trilateral Weighted Sparse Coding Scheme for Real-World Image Denoising},        
         journal = {ECCV},       
         year = {2018}     
}

Test

1. Run "Demo_TWSC_Sigma_AWGN.m" for Additive White Gaussian noise removal.
2. Run "Demo_TWSC_Sigma_RW*.m" for Real-world noise removal. Note: Please set "Original_image_dir" according to your case.

Data

Please download the data from corresponding addresses.

1. cleanimages: 20 high quality commonly used natural gray scale images

2. nc: real noisy images with no ''ground truth'' This dataset can be found at http://demo.ipol.im/demo/125/

3. cc: 15 cropped real noisy images from CC [1]. This dataset can be found at http://snam.ml/research/ccnoise The smaller 15 cropped images can be found on in the directory ''Real_ccnoise_denoised_part'' of https://github.com/csjunxu/MCWNNM_ICCV2017 The *real.png are noisy images; The *mean.png are "ground truth" images; The *ours.png are images denoised by CC.

4. dnd: The Darmstadt Noise Dataset [2] consists of 50 pairs of real noisy images, each images provides 50 crops, resulting overall 1,000 crops provided on https://noise.visinf.tu-darmstadt.de/

Dependency

This code is implemented purely in Matlab2014b and doesn't depends on any other toolbox.
