Real-world image restoration deals with the recovery of images suffering from an unknown degradation. This task is typically addressed while being given only degraded images, without their corresponding ground-truth versions. In this hard…
We investigate a novel approach for image restoration by reinforcement learning. Unlike existing studies that mostly train a single large network for a specialized task, we prepare a toolbox consisting of small-scale convolutional networks…
This paper presents a pixel selection method for compact image representation based on superpixel segmentation and tensor completion. Our method divides the image into several regions that capture important textures or semantics and selects…
This paper presents a novel strategy for high-fidelity image restoration by characterizing both local smoothness and nonlocal self-similarity of natural images in a unified statistical manner. The main contributions are three-folds. First,…
Restoring low-resolution text images presents a significant challenge, as it requires maintaining both the fidelity and stylistic realism of the text in restored images. Existing text image restoration methods often fall short in hard…
Image restoration is a classic low-level problem aimed at recovering high-quality images from low-quality images with various degradations such as blur, noise, rain, haze, etc. However, due to the inherent complexity and non-uniqueness of…
This paper proposes an approach to content-preserving stitching of images with regular boundary constraints, which aims to stitch multiple images to generate a panoramic image with regular boundary. Existing methods treat image stitching…
Watermarking is an operation of embedding an information into an image in a way that allows to identify ownership of the image despite applying some distortions on it. In this paper, we presented a novel end-to-end solution for embedding…
Image reconstruction based on an edge-sparsity assumption has become popular in recent years. Many methods of this type are capable of reconstructing nearly perfect edge-sparse images using limited data. In this paper, we present a method…
Over the years, various algorithms were developed, attempting to imitate the Human Visual System (HVS), and evaluate the perceptual image quality. However, for certain image distortions, the functionality of the HVS continues to be an…
This paper proposes a non-computational method of counteracting the effect of image degradation introduced by the diffraction phenomenon in lensless microscopy. All the optical images (whether focused by lenses or not) are diffraction…
