Although the quest for more accurate solutions is pushing deep learning research towards larger and more complex algorithms, edge devices demand efficient inference and therefore reduction in model size, latency and energy consumption. One…

Recently, deep learning-based image denoising methods have achieved promising performance on test data with the same distribution as training set, where various denoising models based on synthetic or collected real-world training data have…

Automatic extraction methods typically assume that line segments are pronounced, thin, few and far between, do not cross each other, and are noise and clutter-free. Since these assumptions often fail in realistic scenarios, many line…
