Open Source Image De-Noising 205

Posted by kdawson from the fuzz-be-gone dept.
GREYCstoration is an open-source tool able to de-noise, inpaint, or resize 2D color images. This is a command-line program developed by the IMAGE team of the GREYC Lab in France and is available for Unix, Mac, and Windows systems under the CeCILL license. The algorithm is based on anisotropic diffusion partial differential equations. These equations are able to smooth an image while preserving its main structures. The demo page presents interesting examples of color image de-noising and reconstruction. This is a serious free alternative to commercial products like Noise Ninja or Neat Image that perform the same kinds of operations. The tool is still a little bit hard to use (command-line based), but I hope the simple C++ API will ease the integration of the algorithm in more user-friendly interfaces. Previous versions of GREYCstoration are already available in Digikam and Krita.

      Keep shooting at ISO 80. De-noising will not add details, it will hide the noise pixeles with uniform colors but it will only guess. The only way to fill in those pixels with correct information is to shoot the scene at the correct ISO setting.

      The lower ISO you can get the more detail you could capture given that other parameters are fixed. Have you ever shot with Velvia ISO 50 film? -- it creates stunning details. I think Fujifilm discontinued it last year or so. In film the lower the ISO the finer the grain. As far as digital is concerned think of ISO as sensitivity of the CCD. You can turn the gain up to ISO 3200 but you will amplify a lot of noise too.

            The idea is that you can eliminate blur caused by camera movement by taking many short exposures (high noise because of the short exposure), then align and average them together to eliminate the noise. This will work, but the downside is that it does require computationally intensive image alignment (to remove the camera movement that would have caused the blur in the first place) But that could be done offline.

          If you set the parameters correctly, anisotropic diffusion will blur in homogenous regions (where variations are primarily due to noise) but not blur across edges. It's different than a plain gaussian blur and works much better... if you set the parameters correctly.

Although the gamut of modern digital sensors is just as good, there's no way of actually sensing it, as the display devices aren't up to snuff! Wide gamuts make an enormous difference to an image. The colors you see in nature are far more diverse than those that can be reproduced in print or on a computer screen. It's only by actually seeing these things first hand that one can appreciate the difference, prints look strangely grey an lifeless in comparison.

      If you're experiencing a lot of noise at ISO400, it's time for a new camera.

      Also, in response to your later post, what many DSLRs do for long exposures (usually taken at night and with high ISO and experience a lot of noise in the black areas) is to take another exposure immediately after the first one, but with the shutter closed. Then, the camera knows where the sensor noise is and can subtract it from the actual picture.

      So if you take an 8 sec. exposure and your camera freezes up for the following 8 sec, you'll know why.

    GIMP can't deal with these. Tools such as ufraw can convert them to 8 bits/channel images such as JPEG but don't allow you to actually manipulate the image in its native color resolution.

    Linux seriously needs a good image manipulation tool such as the GIMP with 16-bit or even 32-bit per color channel support built-in. This is particularly important for operations like sharpening.

    Cinepaint will do it but it's way behind in features compared with GIMP these days.

    What's the hold up with GIMP anyway? You'd think its developers would take this kind of issue seriously and would fix the engine to natively do, say, 32 bits per color channel internally.

    I stumbled upon GREYCstoration the other week when I was looking for tracing software. The best I've found so far is Potrace [sourceforge.net] by Peter Selinger, he has a link to this noise reduction software on the Potrace homepage. Here's what Peter had to say about it:

    If the examples on the webpage are representative, then this is the most astonishingly good image regularization filter that I have ever seen. It is based on a non-linear diffusion technique. It can be used for noise and artifact removal, resizing, and inpainting (which means filling in missing image regions). It works on color photographs and cartoons.
    Both of these programs appear to be top class.
  • At first I thought the lightening was merely the loss of contrast. But it rather appears than an ambient light level has been added to the images. My best guess is that this is likely the average of the added noise. This makes sense if you consider that the idea is to take local hi-freq spikes and spread their influence around the image.

  • I hacked it into my image processing library a year or so ago:

    The big issue was memory use: at least for the version I adapted, it needs 20x as much memory to run as the size of the image you want to process. So a 3k x 3k 8-bit RGB image needs 1GB of RAM. I blame CImg (I think). It needs reimplementing in a more practical image processing library. The results are nice though, if you play with the parameters a bit.

  • It would be nice to make this tool available as a GIMP plugin.

    (I'm not him although I know his work and his ex-supervisor)

    Also consider CImage [sourceforge.net], by the same author. CImage is a C++ image processing template library (cue to how much C++ sucks compared to the language du jour and/or LISP/Python/Haskell/OCaml, etc ;-)

    Concerning the inpainting algorithms that many here find impressive, there has been lots of work in this area. One of the seminal works is the paper at ICCV'99 by Efros and Leung [cmu.edu]. Many CS people will love that one since it is a fairly straightforward extention of the 1948 Markov model proposed by Shannon himself for the automated production of pseudo-english text (i.e. texts that look and sound english but really aren't). The Practice of Programming [bell-labs.com] book by Kernighan and Pike makes use of that algorithm to compare various languages in a fun way.

    The Tschumperlé algorithm works on different principles and is much faster, but their particular Markov model shows the impainting problem is not that difficult in practice.

    This isn't new software, it's just a new release. My wife is a photographer and we've been using this with a Gimp plugin for quite awhile now.

    Gimp plugin can be found here: http://www.haypocalc.com/wiki/Gimp_Plugin_GREYCsto ration [haypocalc.com]

    It does ok and can salvage some photos, some, it can't.

    Thanks Freshmeat!! ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Slashdot!!
