• Abstract: This paper presents a quarter Laplacian filter that can preserve corners and edges during image smoothing. Its support region is $2\times2$, which is smaller than the $3\times3$ support region of Laplacian filter. Thus, it is more local. Moreover, this filter can be implemented via the classical box filter, leading to high performance for real time applications. Finally, we show its edge preserving property in several image processing tasks, including image smoothing, texture enhancement, and low-light image enhancement. The proposed filter can be adopted in a wide range of image processing applications.

  We develop a white-box framework for photo retouching using parallel region-specific filters, called RSFNet. Our model generates filter arguments and attention maps of regions for each filter simultaneously. Our experiments demonstrate that RSFNet achieves state-of-the-art results, offering satisfying aesthetic appeal and increased user convenience for editable white-box retouching.

• Reverse image filtering using total derivative approximation and accelerated gradient descent [82.93345261434943]
  We address a new problem of reversing the effect of an image filter, which can be linear or nonlinear. The assumption is that the algorithm of the filter is unknown and the filter is available as a black box. We formulate this inverse problem as minimizing a local patch-based cost function and use total derivative to approximate the gradient which is used in gradient descent to solve the problem.

  The goal of this paper is guided image filtering, which emphasizes the importance of structure transfer during filtering. We propose a new and simplified formulation of the guided filter inspired by unsharp masking. Our formulation enjoys a filtering prior to a low-pass filter and enables explicit structure transfer by estimating a single coefficient.

  This paper presents a study on how popular pretrained models are affected by commonly used Instagram filters. Our analysis suggests that simple structure preserving filters which only alter the global appearance of an image can lead to large differences in the convolutional feature space. We introduce a lightweight de-stylization module that predicts parameters used for scaling and shifting feature maps to "undo" the changes incurred by filters.
