• Abstract: Image interpolation is a special case of image super-resolution, where the low-resolution image is directly down-sampled from its high-resolution counterpart without blurring and noise. Therefore, assumptions adopted in super-resolution models are not valid for image interpolation. To address this problem, we propose a novel image interpolation model based on sparse representation. Two widely used priors including sparsity and nonlocal self-similarity are used as the regularization terms to enhance the stability of interpolation model. Meanwhile, we incorporate the nonlocal linear regression into this model since nonlocal similar patches could provide a better approximation to a given patch. Moreover, we propose a new approach to learn adaptive sub-dictionary online instead of clustering. For each patch, similar patches are grouped to learn adaptive sub-dictionary, generating a more sparse and accurate representation. Finally, the weighted encoding is introduced to suppress tailing of fitting residuals in data fidelity. Abundant experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms several state-of-the-art methods in terms of quantitative measures and visual quality.

  Domain adaptation aims to reduce the model degradation on the target domain caused by the domain shift between the source and target domains. Probabilistic proto-typical pixel contrast (PPPC) is a universal adaptation framework that models each pixel embedding as a probability. PPPC not only helps to address ambiguity at the pixel level, yielding discriminative representations but also significant improvements in both synthetic-to-real and day-to-night adaptation tasks.

  One traditional strategy is to convert the RGB image to a less correlated color space and denoise each channel of the new space separately. This paper proposes a new multi-channel optimization model for color image denoising under the nuclear norm minus Frobenius norm minimization framework. Experimental results on both synthetic and real noise datasets demonstrate the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art models.
