IDTransformer: Infrared image denoising method based on convolutional transposed self-attention by Zhengwei Shen, Feiwei Qin, Ruiquan Ge, Changmiao Wang, Kai Zhang, Jie Huang

“…In addition, we refine the conventional feed-forward network by integrating Convolutional Gated Linear Units (CGLU) and deploy the Channel Coordinate Attention Block (CCAB) during the feature fusion phase to dynamically apportion weights across the feature map, thereby facilitating a more nuanced representation of pattern features endemic to infrared images. Through rigorous experimentation, we establish that our IDTransformer attains superior visual enhancement across five infrared image datasets, compared with the state-of-the-art methods. …”
