• Abstract: Deep unfolding networks (DUN) have emerged as a popular iterative framework for accelerated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction. However, conventional DUN aims to reconstruct all the missing information within the entire null space in each iteration. Thus it could be challenging when dealing with highly ill-posed degradation, usually leading to unsatisfactory reconstruction. In this work, we propose a Progressive Divide-And-Conquer (PDAC) strategy, aiming to break down the subsampling process in the actual severe degradation and thus perform reconstruction sequentially. Starting from decomposing the original maximum-a-posteriori problem of accelerated MRI, we present a rigorous derivation of the proposed PDAC framework, which could be further unfolded into an end-to-end trainable network. Specifically, each iterative stage in PDAC focuses on recovering a distinct moderate degradation according to the decomposition. Furthermore, as part of the PDAC iteration, such decomposition is adaptively learned as an auxiliary task through a degradation predictor which provides an estimation of the decomposed sampling mask. Following this prediction, the sampling mask is further integrated via a severity conditioning module to ensure awareness of the degradation severity at each stage. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method achieves superior performance on the publicly available fastMRI and Stanford2D FSE datasets in both multi-coil and single-coil settings.

  This paper proposes a new task setting, i.e. Universal Image Restoration (UIR) UIR doesn't require training on all the degradation combinations but only on a set of degradation bases and then removing any degradation that these bases can potentially compose in a zero-shot manner. We propose Chain-of-Restoration (CoR) mechanism, which instructs models to remove unknown composite degradations step-by-step.

  vSHARP (variable Splitting Half-quadratic ADMM algorithm for Reconstruction of inverse Problems) is a novel Deep Learning (DL)-based method for solving ill-posed inverse problems arising in Medical Imaging (MI) For data consistency, vSHARP unrolls a differentiable gradient descent process in the image domain, while a DL-based denoiser, such as a U-Net architecture, is applied to enhance image quality.

  Blind face restoration usually synthesizes degraded low-quality data with a pre-defined degradation model for training. It is expensive and infeasible to include every type of degradation to cover real-world cases in the training data. We propose Robust Degradation Remover (DR2) to first transform the degraded image to a coarse but degradation-invariant prediction, then employ an enhancement module to restore the coarse prediction to a high-quality image.
