## Beyond a Gaussian Denoiser: Residual Learning of Deep CNN for Image Denoising


### Main Contents

**demos**:  `Demo_test_DnCNN-.m`.

**model**:  including the trained models for Gaussian denoising; a single model for Gaussian denoising, single image super-resolution (SISR) and deblocking.

**testsets**:  BSD68 and Set10 for Gaussian denoising evaluation; Set5, Set14, BSD100 and Urban100 datasets for SISR evaluation; Classic5 and LIVE1 for JPEG image deblocking evaluation.



To run the testing demos `Demo_test_DnCNN-.m`, you should first [install](http://www.vlfeat.org/matconvnet/install/) [MatConvNet](http://www.vlfeat.org/matconvnet/).

Note: If you did not install MatConvNet, just replace `res    = vl_simplenn(net,input,[],[],'conserveMemory',true,'mode','test')` with `res = simplenn_matlab(net, input)`.
