Modern handheld devices can acquire burst image sequence in a quick succession. However, the individual acquired frames suffer from multiple degradations and are misaligned due to camera shake and object motions. The goal of Burst Image…
We demonstrate an image dequantizing diffusion model that enables novel edits on natural images. We propose operating on quantized images because they offer easy abstraction for patch-based edits and palette transfer. In particular, we show…
We present a wavelet-based dual-stream network that addresses color cast and blurry details in underwater images. We handle these artifacts separately by decomposing an input image into multiple frequency bands using discrete wavelet…
Underwater images are degraded by the selective attenuation of light that distorts colours and reduces contrast. The degradation extent depends on the water type, the distance between an object and the camera, and the depth under the water…
Image based rendering is a fundamental problem in computer vision and graphics. Modern techniques often rely on depth image for the 3D construction. However for most of the existing depth cameras, the large and unpredictable noises can be…
Diffusion-based generative image compression has demonstrated remarkable potential for achieving realistic reconstruction at ultra-low bitrates. The key to unlocking this potential lies in making the entire compression process…
Cutting out an object and estimating its opacity mask, known as image matting, is a key task in many image editing applications. Deep learning approaches have made significant progress by adapting the encoder-decoder architecture of…
Image matting refers to the estimation of the opacity of foreground objects. It requires correct contours and fine details of foreground objects for the matting results. To better accomplish human image matting tasks, we propose the Cascade…

Adversarial perturbation of images, in which a source image is deliberately modified with the intent of causing a classifier to misclassify the image, provides important insight into the robustness of image classifiers. In this work we…
Diffusion models have recently motivated great success in many generation tasks like object removal. Nevertheless, existing image decomposition methods struggle to disentangle semi-transparent or transparent layer occlusions due to mask…
High dynamic range (HDR) imaging is an important task in image processing that aims to generate well-exposed images in scenes with varying illumination. Although existing multi-exposure fusion methods have achieved impressive results,…
Thresholding of Curvelet Coefficients, for image denoising, drains out subtle signal component in noise subspace. This produces ringing artifacts near edges and granular effect in the denoised image. We found the noise sensitivity of…
Image retargeting changes the aspect ratio of images while aiming to preserve content and minimise noticeable distortion. Fast and high-quality methods are particularly relevant at present, due to the large variety of image and display…
Underwater images suffer from color casts and low contrast due to wavelength- and distance-dependent attenuation and scattering. To solve these two degradation issues, we present an underwater image enhancement network via medium…
In this paper, we propose a fixed convolutional layer with an order of smoothness not only for avoiding checkerboard artifacts in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) but also for enhancing the performance of CNNs, where the smoothness of…
Image colorization is a challenging problem due to multi-modal uncertainty and high ill-posedness. Directly training a deep neural network usually leads to incorrect semantic colors and low color richness. While transformer-based methods…
Tourists and Wild-life photographers are often hindered in capturing their cherished images or videos by a fence that limits accessibility to the scene of interest. The situation has been exacerbated by growing concerns of security at…
