Editor's Notes
However, unlike in most denoising projects, we cannot use supervised learning with paired noisy and clean images as this would expose patients to unnecessary radiation.
However, unpaired images of clean and noisy images at different radiation doses are easily available.
Therefore, we are faced with the problem of how to learn denoising using unpaired image data.
First, to solve the problem with image segments disappearing and bright spots, we simply reduced the input image patch size.
Our data consist of images that are at least 512 pixels in length. However, most GAN models have difficulty in learning very large images.
Because denoising is a low-level task, using small patches can produce adequate quality results.
Second, to stabilize training, we included spectral normalization in both generator and discriminator. We find that using both is better than using either alone.
For the generator architecture, we use the RRDB network modified to have identically sized images. We use 32 channels for all convolutional layers.
The model has no feature normalization layers to reduce computation and preserve the original range of values.
Pooling layers are also removed. We found that removing pooling layers both improved outcomes and reduced convergence times.
