• Authors: Yoav Chai, Raja Giryes, Lior Wolf
• Abstract summary: We tackle the problem of color enhancement as an image translation task using both supervised and unsupervised learning. We achieve state-of-the-art results compared to both supervised (paired data) and unsupervised (unpaired data) image enhancement methods on the MIT-Adobe FiveK benchmark. We show the generalization capability of our method, by applying it on photos from the early 20th century and to dark video frames.

• Abstract: We treat the problem of color enhancement as an image translation task, which we tackle using both supervised and unsupervised learning. Unlike traditional image to image generators, our translation is performed using a global parameterized color transformation instead of learning to directly map image information. In the supervised case, every training image is paired with a desired target image and a convolutional neural network (CNN) learns from the expert retouched images the parameters of the transformation. In the unpaired case, we employ two-way generative adversarial networks (GANs) to learn these parameters and apply a circularity constraint. We achieve state-of-the-art results compared to both supervised (paired data) and unsupervised (unpaired data) image enhancement methods on the MIT-Adobe FiveK benchmark. Moreover, we show the generalization capability of our method, by applying it on photos from the early 20th century and to dark video frames.

  Unsupervised image retrieval aims to learn the important visual characteristics without any given level to retrieve the similar images for a given query image. In this paper, we propose a TransClippedCLR model by encoding the global context of an image using Transformer having local context through patch based processing. Results using the proposed clipped contrastive learning are greatly improved on all datasets as compared to same backbone network with vanilla contrastive learning.

  Increment Reasoning Generative Adversarial Network (IR-GAN) aims to reason consistency between visual increment in images and semantic increment in instructions. First, we introduce the word-level and instruction-level instruction encoders to learn user's intention from history-correlated instructions as semantic increment. Second, we embed the representation of semantic increment into that of source image for generating target image, where source image plays the role of referring auxiliary.

  This research aims to provide an automated approach for the problem by focusing on a very specific domain of images, namely astronomical images. We explore the usage of various models in two different color spaces, RGB and L*a*b. The model produces visually appealing images which hallucinate high resolution, colorized data in these results which does not exist in the original image.
