• Authors: Yuhong Lu, Nicholas Polydorides
• Abstract summary: We show the effective of spectral regularization methods, and point out the linking between the spectral filtering result and the solution of the regularization optimization objective. For ill-posed problems like image deblurring, the optimization objective contains a regularization term that encodes our prior knowledge into the solution. Based on the idea of Wasserstein generative adversarial models, we can train a CNN to learn the regularization functional.

• Abstract: This thesis analyzes the challenging problem of Image Deblurring based on classical theorems and state-of-art methods proposed in recent years. By spectral analysis we mathematically show the effective of spectral regularization methods, and point out the linking between the spectral filtering result and the solution of the regularization optimization objective. For ill-posed problems like image deblurring, the optimization objective contains a regularization term (also called the regularization functional) that encodes our prior knowledge into the solution. We demonstrate how to craft a regularization term by hand using the idea of maximum a posterior estimation. Then, we point out the limitations of such regularization-based methods, and step into the neural-network based methods. Based on the idea of Wasserstein generative adversarial models, we can train a CNN to learn the regularization functional. Such data-driven approaches are able to capture the complexity, which may not be analytically modellable. Besides, in recent years with the improvement of architectures, the network has been able to output an image closely approximating the ground truth given the blurry observation. The Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) works on this Image-to-Image translation idea. We analyze the DeblurGAN-v2 method proposed by Orest Kupyn et al. [14] in 2019 based on numerical tests. And, based on the experimental results and our knowledge, we put forward some suggestions for improvement on this method.

  This paper focuses on the development of a space-variant regularization model for solving an under-determined linear inverse problem. The primary objective of the proposed model is to achieve a good balance between denoising and the preservation of fine details and edges. A convolutional neural network is designed, to approximate both the ground truth image and its gradient using an elastic loss function in its training.

  Filtering equations play a central role in many real-life applications, including numerical weather prediction, finance and engineering. One of the classical approaches to approximate the solution of the filtering equations is to use a PDE inspired method, called the splitting-up method. We combine this method with a neural network representation to produce an approximation of the unnormalised conditional distribution of the signal process.

  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.
