Popis: International audience; Denoising algorithms via sparse representation are among the state-of-the art for image restoration. On previous work, we proposed SPADE-a sparse-and prior-based method for 3D-image denoising. In this work, we extend this idea to learning approaches and propose a novel residual-U-Net prior-based (ResPrU-Net) method that exploits a prior image. The proposed ResPrU-Net architecture has two inputs, the noisy image and the prior image, and a residual connection that connects the prior image to the output of the network. We compare ResPrU-Net to U-Net and SPADE on human knee data acquired on a spectral computerized tomography scanner. The prior image is built from the noisy image by combining information from neighbor slices and it is the same for both SPADE and ResPrU-Net. For deep learning approaches, we use four knee samples and data augmentation for training, one knee for validation and two for test. Results show that for high noise, U-Net leads to worst results, with images that are excessively blurred. Prior-based methods, SPADE and ResPrU-Net, outperformed U-Net, leading to restored images that present similar image quality than the target. ResPrU-Net provides slightly better results than SPADE. For low noise, methods present similar results.
