• Abstract: In this paper, a novel and effective image quality assessment (IQA) algorithm based on frequency disparity for high dynamic range (HDR) images is proposed, termed as local-global frequency feature-based model (LGFM). Motivated by the assumption that the human visual system is highly adapted for extracting structural information and partial frequencies when perceiving the visual scene, the Gabor and the Butterworth filters are applied to the luminance of the HDR image to extract local and global frequency features, respectively. The similarity measurement and feature pooling are sequentially performed on the frequency features to obtain the predicted quality score. The experiments evaluated on four widely used benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed LGFM can provide a higher consistency with the subjective perception compared with the state-of-the-art HDR IQA methods.

  This paper introduces Frequency Consistency for Implicit Neural Representation (FreqINR), an innovative Arbitrary-scale Super-resolution method. During training, we employ Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform Frequency Loss (ADFL) to minimize the frequency gap between HR and ground-truth images. During inference, we extend the receptive field to preserve spectral coherence between low-resolution (LR) and ground-truth images.

  High Dynamic Range (LDR) images can be recovered from several Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images by existing Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) techniques. DNNs still generate ghosting artifacts when LDR images have saturation and large motion. We formulate the HDR deghosting problem as an image generation that leverages LDR features as the diffusion model's condition.

In this work, we propose a novel frequency-guided end-to-end deep neural network (FNet) to conduct HDR fusion in the frequency domain, and Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used to decompose inputs into different frequency bands. The low-frequency signals are used to avoid specific ghosting artifacts, while the high-frequency signals are used for preserving details.
