Popis: When using Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) as a prior for image denoising under the Bayesian maximum a posteriori (MAP) perspective, only a single prominent Gaussian component is usually selected to recover a noisy image patch, which leads to computationally efficient implementations. We attempt to justify this on several image datasets by evaluating the number of Gaussian components required for recovering patches. We show that even patches without a prominent component in the prior can be recovered with little loss of performance. Comparisons between two dictionary choices and between small and large models suggest that large gains are attainable, but only one component is required for reconstruction.
