In robotics and computer vision communities, extensive studies have been widely conducted regarding surveillance tasks, including human detection, tracking, and motion recognition with a camera. Additionally, deep learning algorithms are widely utilized in the aforementioned tasks as in other computer vision tasks. Existing public datasets are insufficient to develop learning-based methods that ha...Show More
The design factors of anchor boxes, such as shape, placement, and target assignment policy, greatly influence the performance and latency of the 3D object detectors. Unlike image-based 2D anchors, 3D anchors must be placed in a 3D space and determined differently for each class of different sizes. This imposes a significant burden on the design complexity. To tackle this issue, various studies hav...Show More
Data augmentation has greatly contributed to improving the performance in image recognition tasks, and a lot of related studies have been conducted. However, data augmentation on 3D point cloud data has not been much explored. 3D label has more sophisticated and rich structural information than the 2D label, so it enables more diverse and effective data augmentation. In this paper, we propose part...Show More
Recent advances in deep learning have shown impressive performances for pan-sharpening. Pan-sharpening is the task of enhancing the spatial resolution of a multi-spectral (MS) image by exploiting the high-frequency information of its corresponding panchromatic (PAN) image. Many deep-learning-based pan-sharpening methods have been developed recently, surpassing the performances of traditional pan-s...Show More
Recently, many deep-learning-based pan-sharpening methods have been proposed for generating high-quality pan-sharpened (PS) satellite images. These methods focused on various types of convolutional neural network (CNN) structures, which were trained by simply minimizing a spectral loss between network outputs and the corresponding high-resolution (HR) multi-spectral (MS) target images. However, ow...Show More
This paper reviews the first AIM challenge on bokeh effect synthesis with the focus on proposed solutions and results. The participating teams were solving a real-world image-to-image mapping problem, where the goal was to map standard narrow-aperture photos to the same photos captured with a shallow depth-of-field by the Canon 70D DSLR camera. In this task, the participants had to restore bokeh e...Show More
In this paper, we present a novel hardware-friendly super-resolution (SR) method based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) and its dedicated hardware (HW) on field programmable gate array (FPGA). Although CNN-based SR methods have shown very promising results for SR, their computational complexities are prohibitive for hardware implementation. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to ...Show More
Haze removal is one of the essential image enhancement processes that makes degraded images visually pleasing. Since haze in images often appears differently depending on the surroundings, haze removal requires the use of spatial information to effectively remove the haze according to the types of image region characteristics. However, in the conventional training, the small-sized training image p...Show More
A receptive field is defined as the region in an input image space that an output image pixel is looking at. Thus, the receptive field size influences the learning of deep convolution neural networks. Especially, in single image dehazing problems, larger receptive fields often show more effective dehazying by considering the brightness and color of the entire input hazy image without additional in...Show More

This paper reviews the 2nd NTIRE challenge on single image super-resolution (restoration of rich details in a low resolution image) with focus on proposed solutions and results. The challenge had 4 tracks. Track 1 employed the standard bicubic downscaling setup, while Tracks 2, 3 and 4 had realistic unknown downgrading operators simulating camera image acquisition pipeline. The operators were lear...Show More
Based on our previous super-interpolation method, we propose a novel hardware-friendly super-resolution (SR) algorithm, called HSI method, and its dedicated hardware architecture for up-scaling full-high-definition (FHD) video streams to 4K ultra-high-definition (UHD) video streams in real-time. Our proposed HSI method involves training and up-scaling steps. In the training step, an edge-orientati...Show More
Rectified linear units (ReLU) are known to be effective in many deep learning methods. Inspired by linear-mapping technique used in other super-resolution (SR) methods, we reinterpret ReLU into point-wise multiplication of an identity mapping and a switch, and finally present a novel nonlinear unit, called a selection unit (SU). While conventional ReLU has no direct control through which data is p...Show More
This paper reviews the first challenge on single image super-resolution (restoration of rich details in an low resolution image) with focus on proposed solutions and results. A new DIVerse 2K resolution image dataset (DIV2K) was employed. The challenge had 6 competitions divided into 2 tracks with 3 magnification factors each. Track 1 employed the standard bicubic downscaling setup, while Track 2 ...Show More
Super-resolution (SR) has become more vital, because of its capability to generate high-quality ultra-high definition (UHD) high-resolution (HR) images from low-resolution (LR) input images. Conventional SR methods entail high computational complexity, which makes them difficult to be implemented for up-scaling of full-high-definition input images into UHD-resolution images. Nevertheless, our prev...Show More
With the advent of ultrahigh-definition (UHD) video services, super-resolution (SR) techniques are often required to generate high-resolution (HR) images from low-resolution (LR) images, such as HD images. To generate such HR images and a video of UHD resolutions in limited computing devices with hardware and software, low complex but excellent SR methods are particularly required. In this paper, ...Show More
Self-example-based super-resolution (SR) methods utilize internal dictionaries to reconstruct a high-resolution (HR) image from a single low-resolution (LR) input image. In general, a square-sized patch is used to find the LR-HR correspondences in the dictionaries. However, this may be a difficult issue because the LR input image and the dictionaries are of different scales. Inspired by this obser...Show More
