To compose a 360 image from a rig with multiple fisheye cameras, a conventional processing pipeline first performs demosaicking on each fisheye camera's Bayer-patterned grid, then translates demosaicked pixels from the camera grid to a…
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…

Generative flow models offer powerful priors learned from large-scale natural images, but directly adapting them to restoration tasks such as motion deblurring causes severe fidelity degradation, as their training objective is inherently…
Diffusion models achieve remarkable quality in image generation, but at a cost. Iterative denoising requires many time steps to produce high fidelity images. We argue that the denoising process is crucially limited by an accumulation of the…
