Bootstrap Denoising of Images with Self-Cross Bilateral Filter

The cross bilateral filter is a technique for improving denoising efficiency of the bilateral filter (BF) with the aid of a noiseless supplementary image. In this paper, we propose the self-cross BF (SCBF) for improving noise reduction performance of BF without any use of supplementary image. We then extend it to the robust SCBF for removing the mixture of Gaussian and impulsive noises.
