New framework anchors black-box denoiser output for improved fidelity

Researchers have developed a new framework called Fidelity-Constrained Anchoring designed to improve the output of black-box denoisers. This method blends the denoised image with the original input, applying a blending factor that adheres to specific local fidelity constraints, such as Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) or Structural Similarity Index (SSIM). Experiments on the DIV2K dataset demonstrated that this anchoring strategy effectively controls fidelity while maintaining a balance between denoising performance and statistical naturalness. AI

    Fidelity-Constrained Anchoring for Black-Box Denoisers

    arXiv:2608.13194v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a fidelity-constrained framework that anchors the output of a black-box denoiser to its input without retraining and with little additional computation. The method linearly blends the denoised image with the input and sel…
