Researchers have developed a novel probabilistic image generative model designed for grayscale image denoising. This model utilizes a quadtree region-partitioning approach combined with a mixture autoregressive model. The proposed framework simplifies maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation-based denoising to the maximization of a variational lower bound, which is optimized using an algorithm that alternates between variational Bayes and gradient methods. Notably, the gradient-based update rule can be computed analytically, and experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness in noise removal. AI
