Denoising Textures is a Different Ballgame Altogether!

The paper investigates how current image denoisers handle textures, finding that generic denoising models often over‑smooth fine patterns and that improving texture performance requires fine‑tuning on texture‑specific datasets. However, such fine‑tuning causes the models to lose their ability to denoise the original data, indicating a trade‑off. The authors argue that dedicated, texture‑aware denoisers are necessary for accurate texture reconstruction and for downstream tasks like generative modeling.

Fortifying Fully Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks for Image Super-Resolution Using Divergence Measures

arXiv:2404. 06294v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Super-Resolution (SR) is a time-hallowed image processing problem that aims to improve the quality of a Low-Resolution (LR) sample up to the standard of its High-Resolution (HR) counterpart.

High-Frequency First: A Two-Stage Approach for Improving Image INR

The paper proposes a two-stage training strategy for Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) that addresses spectral bias by using a neighbor-aware soft mask to emphasize high-frequency details early in training. In the first stage, the mask assigns higher weights to pixels with strong local variations, encouraging the network to focus on fine edges and textures. The second stage transitions to full-image training, and experiments show consistent improvements in reconstruction quality across existing INR methods.
