Description
Summary:The photon detection capability of quanta image sensors make them an optimal choice for low-light imaging. To address Possion noise in QIS reconstruction caused by spatio-temporal oversampling characteristic, a deep learning-based noise suppression reconstruction method is proposed in this paper. The proposed neural network integrates convolutional neural networks and Transformers. Its architecture combines the Anscombe transformation with serial and parallel modules to enhance denoising performance and adaptability across various scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively suppresses noise in QIS image reconstruction. Compared with representative methods such as TD-BM3D, QIS-Net and DPIR, our approach achieves up to 1.2 dB improvement in PSNR, demonstrating superior reconstruction quality.
