Non-blind Image Restoration Based on Convolutional Neural Network
Blind image restoration processors based on convolutional neural network
(CNN) are intensively researched because of their high performance. However,
they are too sensitive to the perturbation of the degradation model. They
easily fail to restore the image whose degradation model is slightly different
from the trained degradation model. In this paper, we propose a non-blind
CNN-based image restoration processor, aiming to be robust against a
perturbation of the degradation model compared to the blind restoration
processor. Experimental comparisons demonstrate that the proposed non-blind
CNN-based image restoration processor can robustly restore images compared to
existing blind CNN-based image restoration processors.Comment: Accepted by IEEE 7th Global Conference on Consumer Electronics, 201
Deep Mean-Shift Priors for Image Restoration
In this paper we introduce a natural image prior that directly represents a
Gaussian-smoothed version of the natural image distribution. We include our
prior in a formulation of image restoration as a Bayes estimator that also
allows us to solve noise-blind image restoration problems. We show that the
gradient of our prior corresponds to the mean-shift vector on the natural image
distribution. In addition, we learn the mean-shift vector field using denoising
autoencoders, and use it in a gradient descent approach to perform Bayes risk
minimization. We demonstrate competitive results for noise-blind deblurring,
super-resolution, and demosaicing.Comment: NIPS 201
Image Restoration Model with Wavelet Based Fusion
Image Restoration is a field of Image Processing which deals with recovering an original and sharp image from a degraded image using a mathematical degradation and restoration model.This study focuses on restoration of degraded images which have been blurred by known or unknown degradation function. On the basis of knowledge of degradation function image restoration techniques can be divided into two categories: blind and non-blind techniques.Three different image formats viz..jpg(Joint Photographic Experts Group),.png(Portable Network Graphics) and .tif(Tag Index Format) are considered for analyzing the various image restoration techniques like Deconvolution using Lucy Richardson Algorithm (DLR), Deconvolution using Weiner Filter (DWF), Deconvolution using Regularized Filter (DRF) and Blind Image Deconvolution Algorithm (BID).The analysis is done on the basis of various performance metrics like PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio), MSE(Mean Square Error) , RMSE( Root Mean Square Error). Keywords— Lucy Richardson Algorithm, Weiner Filter, Regularized Filter, Blind Image Deconvolution, Gaussian Blur, Point Spread Function, PSNR, MSE, RMS
A Review on Various Image Restoration Techniques
Image restoration and improvement is the method of improving the looks of the digital image. The aim of this paper is introduce digital image restoration to the reader. There area unit varied varieties of noises like Gaussian, speckle, salt & pepper, etc, This paper discuss regarding image restoration based mostly on image improvement and image restoration exploitation image inpainting. The primary goal of the image restoration is that the original image is recovered from degraded or blurred or buzzing image. This paper contains the review of the many vivid schemes of image restoration that area unit based mostly on blind and non-blind rule exploitation varied transformation techniques.

Phase and TV Based Convex Sets for Blind Deconvolution of Microscopic Images
In this article, two closed and convex sets for blind deconvolution problem
are proposed. Most blurring functions in microscopy are symmetric with respect
to the origin. Therefore, they do not modify the phase of the Fourier transform
(FT) of the original image. As a result blurred image and the original image
have the same FT phase. Therefore, the set of images with a prescribed FT phase
can be used as a constraint set in blind deconvolution problems. Another convex
set that can be used during the image reconstruction process is the epigraph
set of Total Variation (TV) function. This set does not need a prescribed upper
bound on the total variation of the image. The upper bound is automatically
adjusted according to the current image of the restoration process. Both of
these two closed and convex sets can be used as a part of any blind
deconvolution algorithm. Simulation examples are presented.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Selected Topics in Signal Processin
DiffBIR: Towards Blind Image Restoration with Generative Diffusion Prior
We present DiffBIR, which leverages pretrained text-to-image diffusion models
for blind image restoration problem. Our framework adopts a two-stage pipeline.
In the first stage, we pretrain a restoration module across diversified
degradations to improve generalization capability in real-world scenarios. The
second stage leverages the generative ability of latent diffusion models, to
achieve realistic image restoration. Specifically, we introduce an injective
modulation sub-network -- LAControlNet for finetuning, while the pre-trained
Stable Diffusion is to maintain its generative ability. Finally, we introduce a
controllable module that allows users to balance quality and fidelity by
introducing the latent image guidance in the denoising process during
inference. Extensive experiments have demonstrated its superiority over
state-of-the-art approaches for both blind image super-resolution and blind
face restoration tasks on synthetic and real-world datasets. The code is
available at https://github.com/XPixelGroup/DiffBIR
Improvements in Blind Image Restoration
We present a revisal of blind image deconvolution technique for the restoration of linearly degraded images, without the explicit knowledge of either original image or the psf- the point spread function. Even the scenes which consist of finite support object over a uniformly black, white or grey background, this technique works fine. Occurrence includes certain types of medical imaging, astronomical imaging, and (1-D) gamma ray spectra processing. The only information that is required are the nonnegativity of the true image and the support size of the original object.
The restoration procedure involves recursive filtering of the blurred image to minimize a convex cost function. The new approach is experimentally shown to be more reliable and to have faster convergence than existing nonparametric ¯nite support blind deconvolution methods, for situations in which the exact object support is known.
This thesis covers the basic implementation of NAS-RIF method, using steepest descent, followed by implementation of swarm optimization technique- ACO, to optimize the results
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
