A Machine Learning-Driven Solution for Denoising Inertial Confinement Fusion Images

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper presents an unsupervised autoencoder that uses a Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau (CDF 97) wavelet transform in its latent space to denoise neutron imaging data from inertial confinement fusion experiments. The method targets mixed Gaussian‑Poisson noise, preserving fine details and edges that are crucial for image reconstruction. Benchmarks on simulated and experimental NIF datasets show lower reconstruction error and better edge preservation than conventional filtering techniques such as BM3D.

PatchDenoiser: Parameter-efficient multi-scale patch learning and fusion denoiser for Low-dose CT imaging

arXiv:2602. 21987v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-dose CT images are essential for reducing radiation exposure in cancer screening, pediatric imaging, and longitudinal monitoring protocols, but their quality is often degraded by noise from low-dose acquisition, patient motion, or scanner limitations, affecting both clinical interpretation and downstream analysis.

A deep dictionary network-based foundation model for ultra-low-dose CT denoising

The paper introduces a deep dictionary network (DDN) foundation model designed for ultra‑low‑dose CT (ULDCT) denoising across multiple organs. By cascading convolutional sparse coding layers with iterative soft‑thresholding, the architecture offers inherent interpretability, while dynamic dictionary and threshold modules enhance representation. The model is pre‑trained on over one million normal‑dose CT images and fine‑tuned on multi‑organ ULDCT datasets, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance that consistently outperforms existing methods.

Reduce the Artifacts Bias for More Generalizable AI-Generated Image Detection

The paper proposes Artifact-Complementary Expert Fusion (ACEF), a two‑stage framework that enhances AI‑generated image detection by combining two types of reconstruction artifacts—VAE/DDIM and SRGAN—into aligned synthetic negatives. ACEF first builds artifact‑specific experts using LoRA adaptation on a frozen backbone, then fuses their multi‑layer evidence with Layer‑wise Artifact‑Complementary Fusion (LACF) to mitigate conflicts between artifact manifolds. Experiments on 13 benchmarks show that this approach improves generalizability over existing state‑of‑the‑art methods.
