About this paper
Indra Deep Mastan, Shanmuganathan Raman
A unified framework for unsupervised image processing operates entirely from a single input image by combining deep image priors, adversarial learning, and contextual feature matching. This approach demonstrates versatile performance across tasks like super-resolution, denoising-super-resolution, and image retargeting, yielding higher SSIM scores (e.g., 0.63 for DSR on BSD100) and user preference in retargeting (65%) compared to other unsupervised methods.
Key insights
- Untrained neural networks can act as effective implicit image priors, enabling various image processing tasks from a single input without external training data.
- A combination of adversarial learning, contextual feature matching, and a task-adaptive reconstruction loss allows for a unified framework that handles both pixel-aligned restoration and non-aligned retargeting.
- Careful architectural design, including skip connections and task-specific residual blocks, is critical for preserving fine details and improving gradient flow in deep internal learning.
