Denoising neural networks are a class of machine learning models designed to recover clean signals from noisy observations. They are widely used for image, audio, video, and biomedical data where noise degrades information or perceptual quality. The term encompasses architectures such as denoising autoencoders, convolutional denoisers, and modern diffusion-based models that learn to reverse a noising process.

Denoising autoencoders train a network to map a corrupted input to its original, clean version, typically using paired data. Diffusion models generate data by gradually corrupting clean samples with noise and learning to reverse the process, effectively denoising during generation or restoration. Other approaches include self-supervised methods like Noise2Noise or Noise2Void, which leverage unpaired or partially paired data.

Training objectives commonly minimize reconstruction error, such as mean squared error or perceptual losses, and may incorporate regularization to preserve details while removing noise. Depending on the modality, networks employ architectures such as U-Nets, residual connections, or transformer blocks to capture context.

Applications include improving photographic image quality, denoising medical images (MRI, CT), removing interference in audio signals, stabilizing video frames, and preprocessing sensor data for downstream analysis. Challenges include balancing noise suppression with detail preservation, generalization across noise types, and high computational costs for diffusion-based methods.

Denoising neural networks are related to broader topics in image restoration, score-based models, and self-supervised learning. See also denoising autoencoders, diffusion models, Noise2Void, and image restoration.
