The difficulty of acquiring high-resolution (HR) and low-resolution (LR) image pairs in real scenarios limits the performance of existing learning-based image super-resolution (SR) methods in the real world. To conduct training on real-world unpaired data current methods focus on synthesizing pseudo…
Exploiting spatial-angular correlation is crucial to light field (LF) image super-resolution (SR), but is highly challenging due to its non-local property caused by the disparities among LF images. Although many deep neural networks (DNNs) have been developed for LF image SR and achieved continuousl…
Training a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect infrared small targets in a fully supervised manner has gained remarkable research interests in recent years, but is highly labor expensive since a large number of per-pixel annotations are required. To handle this problem, in this paper, we ma…
Single-frame infrared small target (SIRST) detection aims at separating small targets from clutter backgrounds on infrared images. Recently, deep learning based methods have achieved promising performance on SIRST detection, but at the cost of a large amount of training data with expensive pixel-lev…
Neural network quantization aims at reducing bit-widths of weights and activations for memory and computational efficiency. Since a linear quantizer (i.e., round(*) function) cannot well fit the bell-shaped distributions of weights and activations, many existing methods use pre-defined functions (e.…
Matching cost construction is a key step in light field (LF) depth estimation, but was rarely studied in the deep learning era. Recent deep learning-based LF depth estimation methods construct matching cost by sequentially shifting each sub-aperture image (SAI) with a series of predefined offsets, w…
Current CNN-based super-resolution (SR) methods process all locations equally with computational resources being uniformly assigned in space. However, since missing details in low-resolution (LR) images mainly exist in regions of edges and textures, less computational resources are required for thos…
Recently, the performance of single image super-resolution (SR) has been significantly improved with powerful networks. However, these networks are developed for image SR with specific integer scale factors (e.g., x2/3/4), and cannot handle non-integer and asymmetric SR. In this paper, we propose to…
Most existing CNN-based super-resolution (SR) methods are developed based on an assumption that the degradation is fixed and known (e.g., bicubic downsampling). However, these methods suffer a severe performance drop when the real degradation is different from their assumption. To handle various unk…
Light field (LF) cameras record both intensity and directions of light rays, and capture scenes from a number of viewpoints. Both information within each perspective (i.e., spatial information) and among different perspectives (i.e., angular information) is beneficial to image super-resolution (SR).…
Stereo image pairs can be used to improve the performance of super-resolution (SR) since additional information is provided from a second viewpoint. However, it is challenging to incorporate this information for SR since disparities between stereo images vary significantly. In this paper, we propose…
