Noise removal from images is a part of image restoration in which we try to reconstruct or recover an image that has been degraded by using apriori knowledge of the degradation phenomenon. Noises present in images can be of various types…
Image denoising methods must effectively model, implicitly or explicitly, the vast diversity of patterns and textures that occur in natural images. This is challenging, even for modern methods that leverage deep neural networks trained to…
Implicit Neural Representation (INR) has emerged as an effective method for unsupervised image denoising. However, INR models are typically overparameterized; consequently, these models are prone to overfitting during learning, resulting in…
Iris recognition systems transform an iris image into a feature vector. The seminal pipeline segments an image into iris and non-iris pixels, normalizes this region into a fixed-dimension rectangle, and extracts features which are stored…
