Recent Progress in Image Deblurring
This paper comprehensively reviews the recent development of image
deblurring, including non-blind/blind, spatially invariant/variant deblurring
techniques. Indeed, these techniques share the same objective of inferring a
latent sharp image from one or several corresponding blurry images, while the
blind deblurring techniques are also required to derive an accurate blur
kernel. Considering the critical role of image restoration in modern imaging
systems to provide high-quality images under complex environments such as
motion, undesirable lighting conditions, and imperfect system components, image
deblurring has attracted growing attention in recent years. From the viewpoint
of how to handle the ill-posedness which is a crucial issue in deblurring
tasks, existing methods can be grouped into five categories: Bayesian inference
framework, variational methods, sparse representation-based methods,
homography-based modeling, and region-based methods. In spite of achieving a
certain level of development, image deblurring, especially the blind case, is
limited in its success by complex application conditions which make the blur
kernel hard to obtain and be spatially variant. We provide a holistic
understanding and deep insight into image deblurring in this review. An
analysis of the empirical evidence for representative methods, practical
issues, as well as a discussion of promising future directions are also
presented.Comment: 53 pages, 17 figure
Hyperspectral Image Restoration via Total Variation Regularized Low-rank Tensor Decomposition
Hyperspectral images (HSIs) are often corrupted by a mixture of several types
of noise during the acquisition process, e.g., Gaussian noise, impulse noise,
dead lines, stripes, and many others. Such complex noise could degrade the
quality of the acquired HSIs, limiting the precision of the subsequent
processing. In this paper, we present a novel tensor-based HSI restoration
approach by fully identifying the intrinsic structures of the clean HSI part
and the mixed noise part respectively. Specifically, for the clean HSI part, we
use tensor Tucker decomposition to describe the global correlation among all
bands, and an anisotropic spatial-spectral total variation (SSTV)
regularization to characterize the piecewise smooth structure in both spatial
and spectral domains. For the mixed noise part, we adopt the norm
regularization to detect the sparse noise, including stripes, impulse noise,
and dead pixels. Despite that TV regulariztion has the ability of removing
Gaussian noise, the Frobenius norm term is further used to model heavy Gaussian
noise for some real-world scenarios. Then, we develop an efficient algorithm
for solving the resulting optimization problem by using the augmented Lagrange
multiplier (ALM) method. Finally, extensive experiments on simulated and
real-world noise HSIs are carried out to demonstrate the superiority of the
proposed method over the existing state-of-the-art ones.Comment: 15 pages, 20 figure
