Discriminative Transfer Learning for General Image Restoration
Recently, several discriminative learning approaches have been proposed for
effective image restoration, achieving convincing trade-off between image
quality and computational efficiency. However, these methods require separate
training for each restoration task (e.g., denoising, deblurring, demosaicing)
and problem condition (e.g., noise level of input images). This makes it
time-consuming and difficult to encompass all tasks and conditions during
training. In this paper, we propose a discriminative transfer learning method
that incorporates formal proximal optimization and discriminative learning for
general image restoration. The method requires a single-pass training and
allows for reuse across various problems and conditions while achieving an
efficiency comparable to previous discriminative approaches. Furthermore, after
being trained, our model can be easily transferred to new likelihood terms to
solve untrained tasks, or be combined with existing priors to further improve
image restoration quality
