Robust Denoising of Structure Noise Through Dual-Diffusion Brownian Bridge Modeling and Coupled Sampling

Recent denoising methods based on diffusion models typically formulate the task as a conditional generation process initialized from a standard Gaussian distribution. However, such stochastic initialization often leads to redundant sampling steps and unstable results due to the neglect of structured noise characteristics. To address these limitations, we propose a novel framework that directly bridges the probabilistic distributions of noisy and clean images while jointly modeling structured noise. We introduce Dual-diffusion Brownian Bridge Coupled Sampling (DBBCS) the first framework to incorporate Brownian bridge diffusion into image denoising. DBBCS synchronously models the distributions of clean images and structural noise via two coupled diffusion processes. Unlike conventional diffusion models, our method starts sampling directly from noisy observations and jointly optimizes image reconstruction and noise estimation through a coupled posterior sampling scheme. This allows for dynamic refinement of intermediate states by adaptively updating the sampling gradients using residual feedback from both image and noise paths. Specifically, DBBCS employs two parallel Brownian bridge models to learn the distributions of clean images and noise. During inference, their respective residual processes regulate each other to progressively enhance both denoising and noise estimation. A consistency constraint is enforced among the estimated noise, the reconstructed image, and the original noisy input to ensure stable and physically coherent results. Extensive experiments on standard benchmarks demonstrate that DBBCS achieves superior performance in both visual fidelity and quantitative metrics, offering a robust and efficient solution to image denoising.

Abstract

Recent denoising methods based on diffusion models typically formulate the task as a conditional generation process initialized from a standard Gaussian distribution. However, such stochastic initialization often leads to redundant sampling steps and unstable results due to the neglect of structured noise characteristics. To address these limitations, we propose a novel framework that directly bridges the probabilistic distributions of noisy and clean images while jointly modeling structured noise. We introduce Dual-diffusion Brownian Bridge Coupled Sampling (DBBCS) the first framework to incorporate Brownian bridge diffusion into image denoising. DBBCS synchronously models the distributions of clean images and structural noise via two coupled diffusion processes. Unlike conventional diffusion models, our method starts sampling directly from noisy observations and jointly optimizes image reconstruction and noise estimation through a coupled posterior sampling scheme. This allows for dynamic refinement of intermediate states by adaptively updating the sampling gradients using residual feedback from both image and noise paths. Specifically, DBBCS employs two parallel Brownian bridge models to learn the distributions of clean images and noise. During inference, their respective residual processes regulate each other to progressively enhance both denoising and noise estimation. A consistency constraint is enforced among the estimated noise, the reconstructed image, and the original noisy input to ensure stable and physically coherent results. Extensive experiments on standard benchmarks demonstrate that DBBCS achieves superior performance in both visual fidelity and quantitative metrics, offering a robust and efficient solution to image denoising.
