• Title: Intrinsic Image Decomposition via Ordinal Shading
• Authors: Chris Careaga and Ya\u{g}{\i}z Aksoy
• Abstract summary: Intrinsic decomposition is a fundamental mid-level vision problem that plays a crucial role in inverse rendering and computational photography pipelines. We present a dense ordinal shading formulation using a shift- and scale-invariant loss to estimate ordinal shading cues. We then combine low- and high-resolution ordinal estimations using a second network to generate a shading estimate with both global coherency and local details.

• Abstract: Intrinsic decomposition is a fundamental mid-level vision problem that plays a crucial role in various inverse rendering and computational photography pipelines. Generating highly accurate intrinsic decompositions is an inherently under-constrained task that requires precisely estimating continuous-valued shading and albedo. In this work, we achieve high-resolution intrinsic decomposition by breaking the problem into two parts. First, we present a dense ordinal shading formulation using a shift- and scale-invariant loss in order to estimate ordinal shading cues without restricting the predictions to obey the intrinsic model. We then combine low- and high-resolution ordinal estimations using a second network to generate a shading estimate with both global coherency and local details. We encourage the model to learn an accurate decomposition by computing losses on the estimated shading as well as the albedo implied by the intrinsic model. We develop a straightforward method for generating dense pseudo ground truth using our model's predictions and multi-illumination data, enabling generalization to in-the-wild imagery. We present an exhaustive qualitative and quantitative analysis of our predicted intrinsic components against state-of-the-art methods. Finally, we demonstrate the real-world applicability of our estimations by performing otherwise difficult editing tasks such as recoloring and relighting.

  Image decomposition aims to analyze an image into elementary components. Deep learning can be powerful for such tasks, but its combination with a focus on interpretability and generalizability is rarely explored. We introduce a novel framework for interpretable deep image decomposition, combining hierarchical Bayesian modeling and deep learning.

  A naively trained detector tends to favor overfitting to the limited and monotonous fake patterns, causing the feature space to become highly constrained and low-ranked. One potential remedy is incorporating the pre-trained knowledge within the vision foundation models to expand the feature space. By freezing the principal components and adapting only the remained components, we preserve the pre-trained knowledge while learning forgery-related patterns.

We introduce DMP, a pipeline utilizing pre-trained T2I models as a prior for dense prediction tasks. Despite limited-domain training data, the approach yields faithful estimations for arbitrary images, surpassing existing state-of-the-art algorithms.

Then restoration is made tractable by applying the inverse transformation on the generated degraded image together with a randomly-drawn latent variable.
