Abstract
Deep image prior (DIP) is an unsupervised deep learning framework that has been successfully applied to a variety of inverse imaging problems. However, DIP-based methods are inherently prone to overfitting, which leads to performance degradation and necessitates early stopping. In this paper, we propose a method to mitigate overfitting in DIP-based hyperspectral image (HSI) denoising by jointly combining robust data fidelity and explicit sensitivity regularization. The proposed approach employs a Smooth \ell_1 data term together with a divergence-based regularization and input optimization during training. Experimental results on real HSIs corrupted by Gaussian, sparse, and stripe noise demonstrate that the proposed method effectively prevents overfitting and achieves superior denoising performance compared to state-of-the-art DIP-based HSI denoising methods.
