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
Unsupervised Sparse Dirichlet-Net for Hyperspectral Image Super-Resolution
In many computer vision applications, obtaining images of high resolution in
both the spatial and spectral domains are equally important. However, due to
hardware limitations, one can only expect to acquire images of high resolution
in either the spatial or spectral domains. This paper focuses on hyperspectral
image super-resolution (HSI-SR), where a hyperspectral image (HSI) with low
spatial resolution (LR) but high spectral resolution is fused with a
multispectral image (MSI) with high spatial resolution (HR) but low spectral
resolution to obtain HR HSI. Existing deep learning-based solutions are all
supervised that would need a large training set and the availability of HR HSI,
which is unrealistic. Here, we make the first attempt to solving the HSI-SR
problem using an unsupervised encoder-decoder architecture that carries the
following uniquenesses. First, it is composed of two encoder-decoder networks,
coupled through a shared decoder, in order to preserve the rich spectral
information from the HSI network. Second, the network encourages the
representations from both modalities to follow a sparse Dirichlet distribution
which naturally incorporates the two physical constraints of HSI and MSI.
Third, the angular difference between representations are minimized in order to
reduce the spectral distortion. We refer to the proposed architecture as
unsupervised Sparse Dirichlet-Net, or uSDN. Extensive experimental results
demonstrate the superior performance of uSDN as compared to the
state-of-the-art.Comment: Accepted by The IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern
