一种自学习的新型单幅图像超分辨率高质量重建算法

经典的基于稀疏表示和字典学习的超分辨率算法在图像重建质量和计算复杂度上都具备较好的表现。然而,基于外部样本训练得到的字典和待重建图像缺少相关性,会伴随算法鲁棒性较差的问题。为克服这一缺点,提出了一种基于自学习的新型单幅图像超分辨率高质量重建算法。该算法无需引入外部训练图像,即完全通过待重建图像自身构建的样本进行字典学习和图像重建;这一机制增强了训练字典与待重建图像的相关性。具体而言,在字典训练阶段,针对输入的待重建图像,基于二维经验模态分解进行高频修复预处理,以增强样本源的高频特征;随后构建训练样本集,使用K-奇异值分解算法获得自学习主字典和自学习残差字典,构成双字典。在图像重建阶段,将双字典结构与自学习相结合,先通过主字典实现主高频恢复,再进一步通过残差字典恢复图像的残差高频信息。实验结果表明,所提算法在重建图像的主观视觉效果以及专业质量评价指标上,相对于传统插值算法及经典的字典学习算法具有显著优势。

Enhancing inverse halftoning via coupled dictionary training

Inverse halftoning is a challenging problem in image processing. Traditionally, this operation is known to introduce visible distortions into reconstructed images. This paper presents a learning-based method that performs a quality enhancement procedure on images reconstructed using inverse halftoning algorithms. The proposed method is implemented using a coupled dictionary learning algorithm, which is based on a patchwise sparse representation. Specifically, the training is performed using image pairs composed by images restored using an inverse halftoning algorithm and their corresponding originals. The learning model, which is based on a sparse representation of these images, is used to construct two dictionaries. One of these dictionaries represents the original images and the other dictionary represents the distorted images. Using these dictionaries, the method generates images with a smaller number of distortions than what is produced by regular inverse halftone algorithms. Experimental results show that images generated by the proposed method have a high quality, with less chromatic aberrations, blur, and white noise distortions.     

Compression of facial images using the K-SVD algorithm

The use of sparse representations in signal and image processing is gradually increasing in the past several years. Obtaining an overcomplete dictionary from a set of signals allows us to represent them as a sparse linear combination of dictionary atoms. Pursuit algorithms are then used for signal decomposition. A recent work introduced the K-SVD algorithm, which is a novel method for training overcomplete dictionaries that lead to sparse signal representation. In this work we propose a new method for compressing facial images, based on the K-SVD algorithm. We train K-SVD dictionaries for predefined image patches, and compress each new image according to these dictionaries. The encoding is based on sparse coding of each image patch using the relevant trained dictionary, and the decoding is a simple reconstruction of the patches by linear combination of atoms. An essential pre-process stage for this method is an image alignment procedure, where several facial features are detected and geometrically warped into a canonical spatial location. We present this new method, analyze its results and compare it to several competing compression techniques.

Deep quality assessment toward defogged aerial images

In order to improve the visual appearance of defogged of aerial images, in this work, a novel defogging algorithm based on conditional generative adversarial network is proposed. More specifically, the training process is carried out through an end-to-end trainable deep neural network. In detail, we upgrade the traditional adversarial loss function by incorporating an L1-regularized gradient to encode a rich set of detailed visual information inside each aerial image. In practice, to our best knowledge, existing image quality assessment algorithms might have deviation and supersaturation distortion on aerial images. To alleviate this problem, we leverage a random forest classification model to learn the mapping relationship between aerial image features and the quality ranking results. Subsequently, we transform the objective of defogged image quality assessment into a classification problem. Comprehensive experimental results on our compiled fogged aerial images quality data set have clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.     

Single-Image Super-Resolution Reconstruction via Learned Geometric Dictionaries and Clustered Sparse Coding

Recently, single image super-resolution reconstruction (SISR) via sparse coding has attracted increasing interest. In this paper, we proposed a multiple-geometric-dictionaries-based clustered sparse coding scheme for SISR. Firstly, a large number of high-resolution (HR) image patches are randomly extracted from a set of example training images and clustered into several groups of "geometric patches," from which the corresponding "geometric dictionaries" are learned to further sparsely code each local patch in a low-resolution image. A clustering aggregation is performed on the HR patches recovered by different dictionaries, followed by a subsequent patch aggregation to estimate the HR image. Considering that there are often many repetitive image structures in an image, we add a self-similarity constraint on the recovered image in patch aggregation to reveal new features and details. Finally, the HR residual image is estimated by the proposed recovery method and compensated to better preserve the subtle details of the images. Some experiments test the proposed method on natural images, and the results show that the proposed method outperforms its counterparts in both visual fidelity and numerical measures.     

Image super-resolution via sparse representation over multiple learned dictionaries based on edge sharpness

A new algorithm for single-image super-resolution based on selective sparse representation over a set of coupled dictionary pairs is proposed. Patch sharpness measure for high- and low-resolution patch pairs defined via the magnitude of the gradient operator is shown to be approximately invariant to the patch resolution. This measure is employed in the training stage for clustering the training patch pairs and in the reconstruction stage for model selection. For each cluster, a pair of low- and high-resolution dictionaries is learned. In the reconstruction stage, the sharpness measure of a low-resolution patch is used to select the cluster it belongs to. The sparse coding coefficients of the patch over the selected low-resolution cluster dictionary are calculated. The underlying high-resolution patch is reconstructed by multiplying the high-resolution cluster dictionary with the calculated coefficients. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested over a set of natural images. PSNR and SSIM results show that the proposed algorithm is competitive with the state-of-the-art super-resolution algorithms. In particular, it significantly out-performs the state-of-the-art algorithms for images with sharp edges and corners. Visual comparison results also support the quantitative results.
