resumen

Affected by imaging conditions, data transmission, and other factors, stripe noise is common in satellite remote sensing images. It seriously restricts the quality and further use of images. In early studies, various denoising methods, such as statistics-based methods, filtering-based methods, and optimization-based methods, have been proposed to overcome the above problems. These proposed methods have achieved inspiring results in some aspects. However, they still suffer from poor adaptability, low denoising efficiency, and the need for prior knowledge. Therefore, stripe noise removal remains a challenging task.In this study, we take advantage of the convolutional deep network while considering the characteristics of the stripe noise image itself. A deep-learning-based method is proposed, which includes three parts: a feature extraction module, a feature fusion module, and a stripe denoising module. The feature extraction module uses the convolutional layer of the same channel with different strides to extract features. As a result, different-scale feature maps of the noisy image are obtained for the following feature fusion module. The feature fusion module upsamples different-scale feature maps. It fuses these upsampled feature maps through the element-wise addition method. Finally, a denoising network is used to predict the components of stripe noise. The stripe component is subtracted from the noise image based on predictions. Given the difficulties in obtaining real noise samples, the network is trained by simulation samples. Then, it is extended to denoise real images.Experiments on simulation and real images show the excellent performance of our network. In the quantitative assessment, the PSNR and the SSIM of our network when simulated images are used are higher than those of the four methods. In the visual assessment, our network performs well on homogeneous and nonhomogeneous objects. Our network denoises more efficiently and retains more details of ground features than traditional methods and other denoising networks. In real noise images, our method achieves the best denoising performance with the highest ICV and the lowest MRD. Compared with traditional methods, our network has a fast denoising speed, approximately 100 times faster than the denoising speed of the optimization-based denoising method. The above experimental results demonstrate that our network has the best denoising performance in simulated and real images.In this study, a convolutional neural network denoising method based on multiscale feature fusion is proposed based on the fully convolutional neural network. The method uses residual learning to predict the strip-noise components on images. It achieves clean images by subtracting the strip components from noisy images. Experiments demonstrate that compared with traditional methods, deep learning denoising methods are adaptive for removing stripe noise of different intensities without losing image details. The strategy of feature fusion and residual learning can effectively improve the training speed and denoising accuracy of the network. In the future, skip-connected and batch normalization layers will be included to optimize training speed and improve denoising performance. Further studies will be conducted in terms of the transfer ability of the network and the extension of its application in other types of remote sensing images, such as aerial images and hyperspectral images.
