Data updated: 2026-02-26T05:56:54.601Z

Evaluation of Image Denoising performance on the McMaster dataset, measured using Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Image Denoising |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | McMaster |
| Metric | PSNR |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 27 of 27 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [PSNR](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-denoising-on-mcmaster-psnr.md?metric=PSNR>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
