• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a new variational deep image prior (VDIP) for blind image deconvolution. VDIP exploits additive hand-crafted image priors on latent sharp images and approximates a distribution for each pixel to avoid suboptimal solutions. Experiments show that the generated images have better quality than that of the original DIP on benchmark datasets.

• Abstract: Conventional deconvolution methods utilize hand-crafted image priors to constrain the optimization. While deep-learning-based methods have simplified the optimization by end-to-end training, they fail to generalize well to blurs unseen in the training dataset. Thus, training image-specific models is important for higher generalization. Deep image prior (DIP) provides an approach to optimize the weights of a randomly initialized network with a single degraded image by maximum a posteriori (MAP), which shows that the architecture of a network can serve as the hand-crafted image prior. Different from the conventional hand-crafted image priors that are statistically obtained, it is hard to find a proper network architecture because the relationship between images and their corresponding network architectures is unclear. As a result, the network architecture cannot provide enough constraint for the latent sharp image. This paper proposes a new variational deep image prior (VDIP) for blind image deconvolution, which exploits additive hand-crafted image priors on latent sharp images and approximates a distribution for each pixel to avoid suboptimal solutions. Our mathematical analysis shows that the proposed method can better constrain the optimization. The experimental results further demonstrate that the generated images have better quality than that of the original DIP on benchmark datasets.

  Deep image prior (DIP) proposes to use the deep network as a regularizer for a single image rather than as a supervised model. In this paper, we combine total generalized variational (TGV) regularization with VDIP to overcome these shortcomings. The proposed VDIP-TGV effectively recovers image edges and details by supplementing extra gradient information through TGV.

  In this paper, we argue that image steganography is inherently performed on the (elusive) manifold of natural images. We train the neural network to stay close to the manifold of natural images throughout the optimization. In comparison to previous state-of-the-art encoder-decoder-based steganography methods, it reduces the recovery error rate by multiple orders of magnitude.

  In a blind setting with unknown degradations, a good prior remains crucial. We propose using normalizing flows to model the distribution of the target content and to use this as a prior in a maximum a posteriori (MAP) formulation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that explores normalizing flows as prior in image enhancement problems.

We focus on convex games, solved by local agents represented by the nodes of a graph and interacting through regularization functions. This approach is appealing for solving imaging problems, as it allows the use of classical image priors within deep models that are trainable end to end.
