• Title: Depth-aware Neural Style Transfer using Instance Normalization
• Abstract summary: We develop a deep residual convolutional network with instance normalization layers to integrate depth preservation as an additional loss function to content and style. Our system is capable of preserving the structure of the stylized results while exhibiting style-capture capabilities and aesthetic qualities comparable or superior to state-of-the-art methods.

• Abstract: Neural Style Transfer (NST) is concerned with the artistic stylization of visual media. It can be described as the process of transferring the style of an artistic image onto an ordinary photograph. Recently, a number of studies have considered the enhancement of the depth-preserving capabilities of the NST algorithms to address the undesired effects that occur when the input content images include numerous objects at various depths. Our approach uses a deep residual convolutional network with instance normalization layers that utilizes an advanced depth prediction network to integrate depth preservation as an additional loss function to content and style. We demonstrate results that are effective in retaining the depth and global structure of content images. Three different evaluation processes show that our system is capable of preserving the structure of the stylized results while exhibiting style-capture capabilities and aesthetic qualities comparable or superior to state-of-the-art methods.

  Human can infer the 3D geometry of a scene from a sketch instead of a realistic image, which indicates that the spatial structure plays a fundamental role in understanding the depth of scenes. We are the first to explore the learning of a depth-specific structural representation, which captures the essential feature for depth estimation and ignores irrelevant style information. Our S2R-DepthNet can be well generalized to unseen real-world data directly even though it is only trained on synthetic data.

  We propose an explicit deconvolution process in a feature space by integrating a classical Wiener deconvolution framework with learned deep features. A multi-scale cascaded feature refinement module then predicts the deblurred image from the deconvolved deep features. We show that the proposed deep Wiener deconvolution network facilitates deblurred results with visibly fewer artifacts and quantitatively outperforms state-of-the-art non-blind image deblurring methods by a wide margin.

• Depth Completion Using a View-constrained Deep Prior [73.21559000917554]
  Recent work has shown that the structure of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) induces a strong prior that favors natural images. This prior, known as a deep image prior (DIP), is an effective regularizer in inverse problems such as image denoising and inpainting. We extend the concept of the DIP to depth images. Given color images and noisy and incomplete target depth maps, we reconstruct a depth map restored by virtue of using the CNN network structure as a prior.
