However, due to ignoring the spatial distribution information of noisy pixels, the conventional SVR denoising model faces the bottleneck of overfitting in the case of serious noise interference, which leads to a degradation of the denoising effect. For this problem, this paper proposes a significance measurement framework for evaluating the sample significance with sample spatial density information. Based on the analysis of the penalty factor in SVR, significance SVR (SSVR) is presented by assigning the sample significance factor to each sample. The refined penalty factor enables SSVR to be less susceptible to outliers in the solution process. This overcomes the drawback that the SVR imposes the same penalty factor for all samples, which leads to the objective function paying too much attention to outliers, resulting in poorer regression results. As an example of the proposed framework applied in image denoising, a cutoff distance-based significance factor is instantiated to estimate the samples\u2019 importance in SSVR. Experiments conducted on three image datasets showed that SSVR demonstrates excellent performance compared to the best-in-class image denoising techniques in terms of a commonly used denoising evaluation index and observed visual.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e23091233","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,20]],"date-time":"2021-09-20T07:52:14Z","timestamp":1632124334000},"page":"1233","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Significance Support Vector Regression for Image Denoising"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Bing","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanical Transmissions, Chongqing 400044, China"},{"name":"College of Mechanical Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaofeng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanical Transmissions, Chongqing 400044, China"},{"name":"College of Mechanical Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"220","DOI":"10.1016\/j.inffus.2019.09.003","article-title":"Image denoising review: From classical to state-of-the-art approaches","volume":"55","author":"Goyal","year":"2020","journal-title":"Inf.
