英文摘要：

Edge-preserving filters play an essential role in some of the most basic tasks of computational photography, such as abstraction, tonemapping, detail enhancement and texture removal, to name a few. The abundance and diversity of smoothing operators, accompanied by a lack of methodology to evaluate output quality and/or perform an unbiased comparison between them, could lead to misunderstanding and potential misuse of such methods. This paper introduces a systematic methodology for evaluating and comparing such operators and demonstrates it on a diverse set of published edge-preserving filters. Additionally, we present a common baseline along which a comparison of different operators can be achieved and use it to determine equivalent parameter mappings between methods. Finally, we suggest some guidelines for objective comparison and evaluation of edge-preserving filters.

Image Edge Restoring Filter

iQIYI（爱奇艺）

In computer vision, image processing and computer graphics, image smoothing filtering is a very basic and important task and to be expected possessing good edge-preserving smoothing property. Here we address the problem that the edge-preserving ability of many popular local smoothing filters needs to be improved. In this paper, we propose the image Edge Restoring Filter (ERF) to restore the blur edge pixels in the output of local smoothing filters to be clear. The proposed filter can been implemented after many local smoothing filter (such as Box filter, Gaussian filter, Bilateral Filter, Guid…

Details Preserving Deep Collaborative Filtering-Based Method for Image Denoising

King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals（法赫德国王石油与矿业大学）；King Abdullah University of Science and Technology（阿卜杜拉国王科技大学）

In spite of the improvements achieved by the several denoising algorithms over the years, many of them still fail at preserving the fine details of the image after denoising. This is as a result of the smooth-out effect they have on the images. Most neural network-based algorithms have achieved better quantitative performance than the classical denoising algorithms. However, they also suffer from qualitative (visual) performance as a result of the smooth-out effect. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to address this shortcoming. We propose a deep collaborative filtering-based (Deep-CoFiB) …

Privacy-Preserving Pose Estimation for Human-Robot Interaction

Cornell University（康奈尔大学）

Pose estimation is an important technique for nonverbal human-robot interaction. That said, the presence of a camera in a person's space raises privacy concerns and could lead to distrust of the robot. In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving camera-based pose estimation method. The proposed system consists of a user-controlled translucent filter that covers the camera and an image enhancement module designed to facilitate pose estimation from the filtered (shadow) images, while never capturing clear images of the user. We evaluate the system's performance on a new filtered image dataset…

Fast and High-Quality Bilateral Filtering Using Gauss-Chebyshev Approximation

Indian Institute of Science（印度科学学院）

The bilateral filter is an edge-preserving smoother that has diverse applications in image processing, computer vision, computer graphics, and computational photography. The filter uses a spatial kernel along with a range kernel to perform edge-preserving smoothing. In this paper, we consider the Gaussian bilateral filter where both the kernels are Gaussian. A direct implementation of the Gaussian bilateral filter requires $O(σ_s^2)$ operations per pixel, where $σ_s$ is the standard deviation of the spatial Gaussian. In fact, it is well-known that the direct implementation is slow in practice.…

Quarter Laplacian Filter for Edge Aware Image Processing

Shenzhen University（深圳大学）；College of Electronics and Information Engineering, Shenzhen University（深圳大学电子与信息工程学院）

This paper presents a quarter Laplacian filter that can preserve corners and edges during image smoothing. Its support region is $2\times2$, which is smaller than the $3\times3$ support region of Laplacian filter. Thus, it is more local. Moreover, this filter can be implemented via the classical box filter, leading to high performance for real time applications. Finally, we show its edge preserving property in several image processing tasks, including image smoothing, texture enhancement, and low-light image enhancement. The proposed filter can be adopted in a wide range of image processing ap…

Analytical Comparison of Noise Reduction Filters for Image Restoration Using SNR Estimation

Nirma Institute of Technology（尼尔玛理工学院）

Noise removal from images is a part of image restoration in which we try to reconstruct or recover an image that has been degraded by using apriori knowledge of the degradation phenomenon. Noises present in images can be of various types with their characteristic Probability Distribution Functions (PDF). Noise removal techniques depend on the kind of noise present in the image rather than on the image itself. This paper explores the effects of applying noise reduction filters having similar properties on noisy images with emphasis on Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) value estimation for comparing t…

Texture variation adaptive image denoising with nonlocal PCA

Shanghai Jiao Tong University（上海交通大学）；Nanchang University（南昌大学）

Image textures, as a kind of local variations, provide important information for human visual system. Many image textures, especially the small-scale or stochastic textures are rich in high-frequency variations, and are difficult to be preserved. Current state-of-the-art denoising algorithms typically adopt a nonlocal approach consisting of image patch grouping and group-wise denoising filtering. To achieve a better image denoising while preserving the variations in texture, we first adaptively group high correlated image patches with the same kinds of texture elements (texels) via an adaptive…

One-Sided Box Filter for Edge Preserving Image Smoothing

College of Electronics and Information Engineering, Shenzhen University（深圳大学电子与信息工程学院）

Image smoothing is a fundamental task in signal processing. For such task, box filter is well-known. However, box filter can not keep some features of the signal, such as edges, corners and the jump in the step function. In this paper, we present a one-sided box filter that can smooth the signal but keep the discontinuous features in the signal. More specifically, we perform box filter on eight one-sided windows, leading to a one-sided box filter that can preserve corners and edges. Our filter inherits the constant $O(1)$ computational complexity of the original box filter with respect to the …

Neuromorphic adaptive edge-preserving denoising filter

In this paper, we present on-sensor neuromorphic vision hardware implementation of denoising spatial filter. The mean or median spatial filters with fixed window shape are known for its denoising ability, however, have the drawback of blurring the object edges. The effect of blurring increases with an increase in window size. To preserve the edge information, we propose an adaptive spatial filter that uses neuron's ability to detect similar pixels and calculates the mean. The analog input differences of neighborhood pixels are converted to the chain of pulses with voltage controlled oscillator…

Low-Dose CT Denoising Using a Structure-Preserving Kernel Prediction Network

SenseTime（商汤科技）

Low-dose CT has been a key diagnostic imaging modality to reduce the potential risk of radiation overdose to patient health. Despite recent advances, CNN-based approaches typically apply filters in a spatially invariant way and adopt similar pixel-level losses, which treat all regions of the CT image equally and can be inefficient when fine-grained structures coexist with non-uniformly distributed noises. To address this issue, we propose a Structure-preserving Kernel Prediction Network (StructKPN) that combines the kernel prediction network with a structure-aware loss function that utilizes t…

Gaussian Fourier Pyramid for Local Laplacian Filter

Nagoya Institute of Technology（名古屋工业大学）；Tokyo University of Science（东京理科大学）

Multi-scale processing is essential in image processing and computer graphics. Halos are a central issue in multi-scale processing. Several edge-preserving decompositions resolve halos, e.g., local Laplacian filtering (LLF), by extending the Laplacian pyramid to have an edge-preserving property. Its processing is costly; thus, an approximated acceleration of fast LLF was proposed to linearly interpolate multiple Laplacian pyramids. This paper further improves the accuracy by Fourier series expansion, named Fourier LLF. Our results showed that Fourier LLF has a higher accuracy for the same numb…
