AbstractImage denoising faces significant challenges, arising from the sources of noise. Specifically, Gaussian, impulse, salt, pepper, and speckle noise are complicated sources of noise in imaging. Convolutional neural network (CNN) has increasingly received attention in image denoising task. Several CNN methods for denoising images have been studied. These methods used different datasets for evaluation. In this paper, we offer an elaborate study on different CNN techniques used in image denoising. Different CNN methods for image denoising were categorized and analyzed. Popular datasets used for evaluating CNN image denoising methods were investigated. Several CNN image denoising papers were selected for review and analysis. Motivations and principles of CNN methods were outlined. Some state-of-the-arts CNN image denoising methods were depicted in graphical forms, while other methods were elaborately explained. We proposed a review of image denoising with CNN. Previous and recent papers on image denoising with CNN were selected. Potential challenges and directions for future research were equally fully explicated.
