Hyperspectral images (HSIs) are useful for many remote sensing applications. However, they are usually affected by noise that degrades the HSIs quality. Therefore, HSI denoising is important to improve the performance of subsequent HSI processing and analysis. In this article, we propose an HSI denoising method called Stein’s unbiased risk estimate-convolutional neural network (SURE-CNN). The method is based on an unsupervised CNN and SURE. The main difference of SURE-CNN from existing supervised learning methods is that the SURE-based loss function can be computed only from noisy data. Since SURE is an unbiased estimate of the mean squared error (MSE) of an estimator, training a CNN using the SURE loss can yield similar results as using the MSE with ground truth in supervised learning. Also, a subspace version of SURE-CNN is proposed to reduce the running time. Extensive experimental results with both simulated and real data sets show that the SURE-CNN method outperforms the competitive methods in both objective and subjective assessments.
