• Abstract: In computer vision, image processing and computer graphics, image smoothing filtering is a very basic and important task and to be expected possessing good edge-preserving smoothing property. Here we address the problem that the edge-preserving ability of many popular local smoothing filters needs to be improved. In this paper, we propose the image Edge Restoring Filter (ERF) to restore the blur edge pixels in the output of local smoothing filters to be clear. The proposed filter can been implemented after many local smoothing filter (such as Box filter, Gaussian filter, Bilateral Filter, Guided Filter and so on). The combinations of "original local smoothing filters + ERF" have better edge-preserving smoothing property than the original local smoothing filters. Experiments on image smoothing, image denoising and image enhancement demonstrate the excellent edges restoring ability of the proposed filter and good edgepreserving smoothing property of the combination "original local smoothing filters + ERF". The proposed filter would benefit a great variety of applications given that smoothing filtering is a high frequently used and fundamental operation.

  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.

  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.

  Current filter pruning methods mainly leverage feature maps to generate important scores for filters and prune those with smaller scores. In this paper, we propose a data filter pruning method that uses an auxiliary network named Dagger module to induce pruning. In addition, to help prune filters with certain FLOPs constraints, we leverage an explicit FLOPs-aware regularization to directly promote pruning filters toward target FLOPs.
