• Authors: Lang Nie, Chunyu Lin, Kang Liao, Shuaicheng Liu, Yao Zhao
• Abstract summary: We propose a new and practical task, named Rotation Correction, to automatically correct the tilt with high content fidelity. This task can be easily integrated into image editing applications, allowing users to correct the rotated images without any manual operations. We leverage a neural network to predict the optical flows that can warp the tilted images to be perceptually horizontal.

• Abstract: Not everybody can be equipped with professional photography skills and sufficient shooting time, and there can be some tilts in the captured images occasionally. In this paper, we propose a new and practical task, named Rotation Correction, to automatically correct the tilt with high content fidelity in the condition that the rotated angle is unknown. This task can be easily integrated into image editing applications, allowing users to correct the rotated images without any manual operations. To this end, we leverage a neural network to predict the optical flows that can warp the tilted images to be perceptually horizontal. Nevertheless, the pixel-wise optical flow estimation from a single image is severely unstable, especially in large-angle tilted images. To enhance its robustness, we propose a simple but effective prediction strategy to form a robust elastic warp. Particularly, we first regress the mesh deformation that can be transformed into robust initial optical flows. Then we estimate residual optical flows to facilitate our network the flexibility of pixel-wise deformation, further correcting the details of the tilted images. To establish an evaluation benchmark and train the learning framework, a comprehensive rotation correction dataset is presented with a large diversity in scenes and rotated angles. Extensive experiments demonstrate that even in the absence of the angle prior, our algorithm can outperform other state-of-the-art solutions requiring this prior. The code and dataset are available at https://github.com/nie-lang/RotationCorrection.

  We present an effective and efficient approach for low-light image enhancement, named LUT-GCE.

  In this work, we focus on the challenging task of spherical image inpainting with deep learning-based regularizer. We employ a fast directional spherical Haar framelet transform and develop a novel optimization framework based on a sparsity assumption of the framelet transform. We show that the proposed algorithms can greatly recover damaged spherical images and achieve the best performance over purely using deep learning denoiser and plug-and-play model.
