• Abstract: When taking images of some occluded content, one is often faced with the problem that every individual image frame contains unwanted artifacts, but a collection of images contains all relevant information if properly aligned and aggregated. In this paper, we attempt to build a deep learning pipeline that simultaneously aligns a sequence of distorted images and reconstructs them. We create a dataset that contains images with image distortions, such as lighting, specularities, shadows, and occlusion. We create perspective distortions with corresponding ground-truth homographies as labels. We use our dataset to train Swin transformer models to analyze sequential image data. The attention maps enable the model to detect relevant image content and differentiate it from outliers and artifacts. We further explore using neural feature maps as alternatives to classical key point detectors. The feature maps of trained convolutional layers provide dense image descriptors that can be used to find point correspondences between images. We utilize this to compute coarse image alignments and explore its limitations.

  In many cases, different images in a collection are articulated versions of one another. In this paper, our goal is to recover images without access to the ground-truth (clean) images using the articulations as structural prior to the data. We propose to learn autoencoder with tensor ring factorization on the the embedding space to impose structural constraints on the data.

We use StyleGAN2 as the source of generative augmentations and investigate this setup on classification tasks involving facial attributes, cat faces, and cars.

  We propose TransFill, a multi-homography transformed fusion method to fill the hole by referring to another source image that shares scene contents with the target image. We learn to adjust the color and apply a pixel-level warping to each homography-warped source image to make it more consistent with the target. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on pairs of images across a variety of wide baselines and color differences, and generalizes to user-provided image pairs.
