• Abstract: Image quality is the basis of image communication and understanding tasks. Due to the blur and noise effects caused by imaging, transmission and other processes, the image quality is degraded. Blind image restoration is widely used to improve image quality, where the main goal is to faithfully estimate the blur kernel and the latent sharp image. In this study, based on experimental observation and research, an adaptively sparse regularized minimization method is originally proposed. The high-order gradients combine with low-order ones to form a hybrid regularization term, and an adaptive operator derived from the image entropy is introduced to maintain a good convergence. Extensive experiments were conducted on different blur kernels and images. Compared with existing state-of-the-art blind deblurring methods, our method demonstrates superiority on the recovery accuracy.

  This paper proposes a context-informed optimal transport (OT) learning framework for tackling unpaired fundus image enhancement. We derive the proposed context-aware OT using the earth's distance mover and show that the proposed context-OT has a solid theoretical guarantee. Experimental results on a large-scale dataset demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over several state-of-the-art supervised and unsupervised methods.

  We present the first head-to-head comparison of recent discrete optimization techniques for the problem of prompt inversion. We find that focusing on the CLIP similarity between the inverted prompts and the ground truth image acts as a poor proxy for the similarity between ground truth image and the image generated by the inverted prompts.

  A cycle-consistent generative adversarial network (CycleGAN) with a convolution block attention module (CBAM) is used for retinal image restoration. A modified UNet is used for retinal vessel segmentation for the restored retinal images. The proposed method can significantly reduce the degradation effects caused by out-of-focus blurring, color distortion, low, high, and uneven illumination.

  Laparoscopic images and videos are often affected by different types of distortion like noise, smoke, blur and nonuniform illumination. We propose in this paper to formulate the image quality assessment task as a multi-label classification problem taking into account both the type as well as the severity level (or rank) of distortions. The obtained results on a laparoscopic image dataset show the efficiency of the proposed approach.
