• Authors: Xiu Li, Jinli Suo, Weihang Zhang, Xin Yuan, Qionghai Dai
• Abstract summary: We propose a PSF aware plug-and-play deep network, which takes the aberrant image and PSF map as input and produces the latent high quality version via incorporating lens-specific deep priors. Specifically, we pre-train a base model from a set of diverse lenses and then adapt it to a given lens by quickly refining the parameters.

• Abstract: High quality imaging usually requires bulky and expensive lenses to compensate geometric and chromatic aberrations. This poses high constraints on the optical hash or low cost applications. Although one can utilize algorithmic reconstruction to remove the artifacts of low-end lenses, the degeneration from optical aberrations is spatially varying and the computation has to trade off efficiency for performance. For example, we need to conduct patch-wise optimization or train a large set of local deep neural networks to achieve high reconstruction performance across the whole image. In this paper, we propose a PSF aware plug-and-play deep network, which takes the aberrant image and PSF map as input and produces the latent high quality version via incorporating lens-specific deep priors, thus leading to a universal and flexible optical aberration correction method. Specifically, we pre-train a base model from a set of diverse lenses and then adapt it to a given lens by quickly refining the parameters, which largely alleviates the time and memory consumption of model learning. The approach is of high efficiency in both training and testing stages. Extensive results verify the promising applications of our proposed approach for compact low-end cameras.

  Low-light image enhancement (LIE) aims at precisely and efficiently recovering an image degraded in poor illumination environments. Recent advanced LIE techniques are using deep neural networks, which require lots of low-normal light image pairs, network parameters, and computational resources. We devise a novel unsupervised LIE framework based on diffusion priors and lookup tables to achieve efficient low-light image recovery.

  Training Single-Image Super-Resolution (SISR) models using pixel-based regression losses can achieve high distortion metrics scores. However, they often results in blurry images due to insufficient recovery of high-frequency details. We propose a novel method that incorporates Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) into the training process of SISR models to balance perceptual quality and distortion.

  Underwater image enhancement (UIE) is a challenging task due to the complex degradation caused by underwater environments.

Our approach utilizes predicted images to dynamically update pseudo-labels, adding a dynamic gradient to optimize the network's gradient space.
