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
A Compressive Multi-Mode Superresolution Display
Compressive displays are an emerging technology exploring the co-design of
new optical device configurations and compressive computation. Previously,
research has shown how to improve the dynamic range of displays and facilitate
high-quality light field or glasses-free 3D image synthesis. In this paper, we
introduce a new multi-mode compressive display architecture that supports
switching between 3D and high dynamic range (HDR) modes as well as a new
super-resolution mode. The proposed hardware consists of readily-available
components and is driven by a novel splitting algorithm that computes the pixel
states from a target high-resolution image. In effect, the display pixels
present a compressed representation of the target image that is perceived as a
single, high resolution image.Comment: Technical repor
