• Abstract: Convolutional neural network (CNN) based image enhancement methods such as super-resolution and detail enhancement have achieved remarkable performances. However, amounts of operations including convolution and parameters within the networks cost high computing power and need huge memory resource, which limits the applications with on-device requirements. Lightweight image enhancement network should restore details, texture, and structural information from low-resolution input images while keeping their fidelity. To address these issues, a lightweight image enhancement network is proposed. The proposed network include self-feature extraction module which produces modulation parameters from low-quality image itself, and provides them to modulate the features in the network. Also, dense modulation block is proposed for unit block of the proposed network, which uses dense connections of concatenated features applied in modulation layers. Experimental results demonstrate better performance over existing approaches in terms of both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.

  We propose cascaded modulation GAN (CM-GAN) to generate plausible image structures when dealing with large holes in complex images. In each decoder block, global modulation is first applied to perform coarse semantic-aware synthesis structure, then spatial modulation is applied on the output of global modulation to further adjust the feature map in a spatially adaptive fashion. In addition, we design an object-aware training scheme to prevent the network from hallucinating new objects inside holes, fulfilling the needs of object removal tasks in real-world scenarios.
