Recent years have witnessed the increasing popularity of learning based methods to enhance the color and tone of photos. However, many existing photo enhancement methods either deliver unsatisfactory results or consume too much computational and memory resources, hindering their application to high-resolution images (usually with more than 12 megapixels) in practice. In this paper, we learn image-...Show More
Traditional image signal processing (ISP) pipeline consists of a set of cascaded image processing modules onboard a camera to reconstruct a high-quality sRGB image from the sensor raw data. Recently, some methods have been proposed to learn a convolutional neural network (CNN) to improve the performance of traditional ISP. However, in these works usually a CNN is directly trained to accomplish the...Show More
Recent years have witnessed the significant progress on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in dynamic scene deblurring. While most of the CNN models are generally learned by the reconstruction loss defined on training data, incorporating suitable image priors as well as regularization terms into the network architecture could boost the deblurring performance. In this work, we propose a Dark and ...Show More
Lossy image compression (LIC), which aims to utilize inexact approximations to represent an image more compactly, is a classical problem in image processing. Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved interesting results in LIC by learning an encoder-quantizer-decoder network from a large amount of data. However, existing CNN-based LIC methods generally train a network for a...Show More
This paper reviewed the 3rd NTIRE challenge on single-image super-resolution (restoration of rich details in a low-resolution image) with a focus on proposed solutions and results. The challenge had 1 track, which was aimed at the real-world single image super-resolution problem with an unknown scaling factor. Participants were mapping low-resolution images captured by a DSLR camera with a shorter...Show More
Most of the existing learning-based single image super-resolution (SISR) methods are trained and evaluated on simulated datasets, where the low-resolution (LR) images are generated by applying a simple and uniform degradation (i.e., bicubic downsampling) to their high-resolution (HR) counterparts. However, the degradations in real-world LR images are far more complicated. As a consequence, the SIS...Show More
Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely explored in single image super-resolution (SISR) and obtained remarkable performance. However, most of the existing CNN-based SISR methods mainly focus on wider or deeper architecture design, neglecting to explore the feature correlations of intermediate layers, hence hindering the representational power of CNNs. To address this ...Show More
Image compression, which aims to represent an image with less storage space, is a classical problem in image processing. Recently, by training an encoder-quantizer-decoder network, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved promising results in image compression. As a nondifferentiable part of the compression system, quantizer is hard to be updated during the network training. Most of...Show More
Due to the poor lighting condition and limited dynamic range of digital imaging devices, the recorded images are often under-/over-exposed and with low contrast. Most of previous single image contrast enhancement (SICE) methods adjust the tone curve to correct the contrast of an input image. Those methods, however, often fail in revealing image details because of the limited information in a singl...Show More
