KEDM: Knowledge-Embedded Diffusion Model for Infrared Image Destriping by Lingxiao Li, Xin Wang, Dan Huang, Yunan He, Zhuqiang Zhong, Qingling Xia

“…However, their output images often exhibit striped noise due to the nonuniform response of the detection system, which significantly affects image quality and visual fidelity. To address challenges such as incomplete stripe removal, potential loss of image details and textures, and the generation of artificial artifacts during destriping, we propose a novel stripe removal method based on a knowledge-embedded diffusion model (KEDM). …”
