## Abstract
_Despite the significant results on synthetic noise under simplified assumptions, most self-supervised denoising methods fail under real noise due to the strong spatial noise correlation, including the advanced self-supervised blind-spot networks (BSNs). For recent methods targeting at real-world denoising, they either suffer from ignoring this spatial correlation, or are limited by the destruction of fine textures for under-considering the correlation. In this paper, we present a novel method for self-supervised real-world denoising, which takes the spatial correlation statistic into our network design for local detail restoration, and also brings the long-range dependencies modeling ability to previously CNN-based BSN methods. First, based on the correlation statistic, we propose a densely-sampled patch-masked convolution module. By taking more neighbor pixels with low noise correlation into account, we enable a denser local receptive field, preserving more useful information for enhanced fine structure recovery. Second, we propose a dilated Transformer block to allow distant context exploitation in BSN. This global perception address the intrinsic deficiency of BSN, whose receptive field is constrained by the blind spot requirement, which can not be fully resolved by the previous CNN-based BSNs. These two designs enable our method fully exploit both the detailed structures and the global interaction in a blind manner. Extensive results on real-world datasets demonstrate the superior performance of our method._

## Training & Testing

### Training

```
usage: python train.py [-c CONFIG_FILE_NAME] [-g GPU_NUM] 
                       [-s SESSION_NAME] [-r] [--thread THREAD_NUM]

Train model.

Arguments:      
  -c CONFIG_FILE_NAME              Configuration file name. (only file name in ./conf, w/o '.yaml') 
  -g GPU_NUM                       GPU ID(number). Only support single gpu setting.
  -s SESSION_NAME      (optional)  Name of training session (default: configuration file name)
