• Abstract: By hiding the front-facing camera below the display panel, Under-Display Camera (UDC) provides users with a full-screen experience. However, due to the characteristics of the display, images taken by UDC suffer from significant quality degradation. Methods have been proposed to tackle UDC image restoration and advances have been achieved. There are still no specialized methods and datasets for restoring UDC face images, which may be the most common problem in the UDC scene. To this end, considering color filtering, brightness attenuation, and diffraction in the imaging process of UDC, we propose a two-stage network UDC Degradation Model Network named UDC-DMNet to synthesize UDC images by modeling the processes of UDC imaging. Then we use UDC-DMNet and high-quality face images from FFHQ and CelebA-Test to create UDC face training datasets FFHQ-P/T and testing datasets CelebA-Test-P/T for UDC face restoration. We propose a novel dictionary-guided transformer network named DGFormer. Introducing the facial component dictionary and the characteristics of the UDC image in the restoration makes DGFormer capable of addressing blind face restoration in UDC scenarios. Experiments show that our DGFormer and UDC-DMNet achieve state-of-the-art performance.

  Under-Display Camera (UDC) is an emerging technology that achieves full-screen display via hiding the camera under the display panel. In this paper, we observe that when using the Vision Transformer for UDC degraded image restoration, the global attention samples a large amount of redundant information and noise. We propose a Guided Sparse Transformer method (SGSFormer) for the task of restoring high-quality images from UDC degraded images.

  We present DiffBIR, a general restoration pipeline that could handle different blind image restoration tasks. DiffBIR decouples blind image restoration problem into two stages: 1) degradation removal: removing image-independent content; 2) information regeneration: generating the lost image content. In the first stage, we use restoration modules to remove degradations and obtain high-fidelity restored results. For the second stage, we propose IRControlNet that leverages the generative ability of latent diffusion models to generate realistic details.

  We revisit the classic stereo setup for training data collection -- capturing two images of the same scene with one UDC and one standard camera. The key idea is to "copy" details from a high-quality reference image and "paste" them on the UDC image. A novel Transformer-based framework generates well-aligned yet high-quality target data for the corresponding UDC input.

  Under-Display Camera (UDC) has been widely exploited to help smartphones realize full screen display. As the screen could inevitably affect the light propagation process, the images captured by the UDC system usually contain flare, haze, blur, and noise. In this paper, we propose a new deep model, namely UDC-UNet, to address the UDC image restoration problem with the known Point Spread Function (PSF) in HDR scenes.
