Abstract According to the theory of deep learning, the process of image denoising can be regarded as a fitting process of a neural network. In this paper, an image denoising algorithm based on composite convolutional neural network is proposed through constructing a simple and efficient composite convolutional neural network. The first stage includes two convolutional neural networks with two layers. Some initial convolutional kernels of convolutional neural network with three layers in the second stage are trained by these two networks, respectively. The training time in the second stage is decreased and the robustness of the network is enhanced. Finally, the learned convolutional neural network in the second stage is applied to denoise a new image with noises. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is comparable to state of the art image denoising algorithms in peak signal to noise ratio(PNSR), structure similarity, and root mean square error(RMSE). Especially, when the noises get heavier, the proposed algorithm performs better with less training time.
