When physics meets signal processing: Image and video denoising based on Ising theory

作者:

Highlights:

• We present a detailed analogy between image processing and statistical physics.

• We use a novel Ising-like model for denoising of damaged colored images and videos.

• The algorithm chooses automatically the denoising parameters.

• A novel simulated annealing code, based on the L1 norm is then run.

• We denoise images and videos damaged by additive impulse or Gaussian noise.

• The restoration results are better compared to other well-known filters.
