• Abstract: In practice, images can contain different amounts of noise for different color channels, which is not acknowledged by existing super-resolution approaches. In this paper, we propose to super-resolve noisy color images by considering the color channels jointly. Noise statistics are blindly estimated from the input low-resolution image and are used to assign different weights to different color channels in the data cost. Implicit low-rank structure of visual data is enforced via nuclear norm minimization in association with adaptive weights, which is added as a regularization term to the cost. Additionally, multi-scale details of the image are added to the model through another regularization term that involves projection onto PCA basis, which is constructed using similar patches extracted across different scales of the input image. The results demonstrate the super-resolving capability of the approach in real scenarios.

  Cross-channel deblurring problem in color image processing is difficult to solve due to complex coupling and structural blurring of color pixels. We present a novel cross-space total variation (CSTV) regularization model for color image deblurring. New L-curve method is proposed to find a sweet balance of regularization functionals on different color spaces.

  This paper is proposed to denoise color images with a double-weighted truncated nuclear norm minus truncated Frobenius norm minimization (DtNFM) method. Through exploiting the nonlocal self-similarity of the noisy image, the similar structures are gathered and a series of similar patch matrices are constructed. Experiments on synthetic and real noise datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms many state-of-the-art color image denoising methods.

  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.

Our proposed approach performed well not only on color-conditional image generation tasks, but also on some practical image completion and inpainting tasks.

  We use polar form of the a*b* channels from the CIEL*a*b* colour space to separate the multi-modal problems. We apply SSIM to the chroma channel but reformulate SSIM for the hue channel to a measure we call the Spatial Hue Similarity Measure (SHSM) This reformulation allows spatially-coherent hue channels to achieve a high score while penalising spatially-incoherent modes.
