摘要

Image denoising is a fundamental task in image processing and computer vision. Traditional supervised methods heavily rely on large sets of noisy-clean image pairs, which are impractical to obtain for real-world noisy images. Self-supervised denoising methods offer a viable alternative but often struggle with spatial correlation in noise. In this paper, we introduce the asymmetric mask blind-spot network (AM-BSN), designed to disrupt spatial correlations of large-scale noise in real-world images. Our network features a dual-branch architecture: a local branch employing a 3 \(\times \) × 3 central mask convolution for fine detail recovery, and a global branch utilizing a \(5\times 5\) 5 × 5 ‘X’-shaped mask convolution and dilated convolutions for global structure reconstruction. Experimental results on real-world datasets demonstrate that AM-BSN outperforms recent state-of-the-art self-supervised denoising methods (e.g., AP-BSN, C-BSN, MMBSN, LG-BPN and SASL), achieving a PSNR of 37.90 dB and an SSIM of 0.885 on the SIDD benchmark dataset, and a PSNR of 38.49 dB and an SSIM of 0.940 on the DND benchmark dataset. This research advances self-supervised denoising techniques, providing a practical solution for real-world applications. The code is available at https://github.com/wam730/AM-BSN.
