• Abstract summary: WaveFill is a wavelet-based inpainting network that decomposes images into multiple frequency bands. WaveFill decomposes images by using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) that preserves spatial information naturally. It applies L1 reconstruction loss to the low-frequency bands and adversarial loss to high-frequency bands, hence effectively mitigate inter-frequency conflicts.

• Abstract: Image inpainting aims to complete the missing or corrupted regions of images with realistic contents. The prevalent approaches adopt a hybrid objective of reconstruction and perceptual quality by using generative adversarial networks. However, the reconstruction loss and adversarial loss focus on synthesizing contents of different frequencies and simply applying them together often leads to inter-frequency conflicts and compromised inpainting. This paper presents WaveFill, a wavelet-based inpainting network that decomposes images into multiple frequency bands and fills the missing regions in each frequency band separately and explicitly. WaveFill decomposes images by using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) that preserves spatial information naturally. It applies L1 reconstruction loss to the decomposed low-frequency bands and adversarial loss to high-frequency bands, hence effectively mitigate inter-frequency conflicts while completing images in spatial domain. To address the inpainting inconsistency in different frequency bands and fuse features with distinct statistics, we design a novel normalization scheme that aligns and fuses the multi-frequency features effectively. Extensive experiments over multiple datasets show that WaveFill achieves superior image inpainting qualitatively and quantitatively.

  We introduce a novel end-to-end Adaptive Frequency Enhancement Network (AFENet) specifically for single image deraining. We employ convolutions of different scales to adaptively decompose image frequency bands, introduce a feature enhancement module, and present a novel interaction module. This approach empowers the deraining network to eliminate diverse and complex rainy patterns and to reconstruct image details accurately.

In this work, we propose a novel frequency-guided end-to-end deep neural network (FNet) to conduct HDR fusion in the frequency domain, and Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used to decompose inputs into different frequency bands. The low-frequency signals are used to avoid specific ghosting artifacts, while the high-frequency signals are used for preserving details.
