Image denoising has reached impressive heights in performance and quality, almost as good as it can ever get. There are tens of thousands of papers on this topic and their scope is so vast and approaches so diverse, that putting them in some order is difficult. I will speak about why we should still care deeply about this topic, what we can say about this general class of functions, and what makes them so special.

This presentation is part of Minisymposium “MS14 - Denoising in Photography and Video (2 parts)”
organized by: Stacey Levine (Duquesne University) , Marcelo Bertalmío (University Pompeu Fabra) .
