Learning a Dilated Residual Network for SAR Image Despeckling
In this paper, to break the limit of the traditional linear models for
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image despeckling, we propose a novel deep
learning approach by learning a non-linear end-to-end mapping between the noisy
and clean SAR images with a dilated residual network (SAR-DRN). SAR-DRN is
based on dilated convolutions, which can both enlarge the receptive field and
maintain the filter size and layer depth with a lightweight structure. In
addition, skip connections and residual learning strategy are added to the
despeckling model to maintain the image details and reduce the vanishing
gradient problem. Compared with the traditional despeckling methods, the
proposed method shows superior performance over the state-of-the-art methods on
both quantitative and visual assessments, especially for strong speckle noise.Comment: 18 pages, 13 figures, 7 table
Patch-based Progressive 3D Point Set Upsampling
We present a detail-driven deep neural network for point set upsampling. A
high-resolution point set is essential for point-based rendering and surface
reconstruction. Inspired by the recent success of neural image super-resolution
techniques, we progressively train a cascade of patch-based upsampling networks
on different levels of detail end-to-end. We propose a series of architectural
design contributions that lead to a substantial performance boost. The effect
of each technical contribution is demonstrated in an ablation study.
Qualitative and quantitative experiments show that our method significantly
outperforms the state-of-the-art learning-based and optimazation-based
approaches, both in terms of handling low-resolution inputs and revealing
high-fidelity details.Comment: accepted to cvpr2019, code available at https://github.com/yifita/P3
