A geometry-based deep equilibrium model for image restoration under multiplicative Gamma noise

arXiv:2608. 04944v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a deep learning framework for image restoration from images degraded by both multiplicative Gamma noise and blur.

MG-SpaIR: Multi-grade Sparse-guided Implicit Representation for Training-Data-Free Image Restoration

MG-SpaIR is a training-data-free framework for restoring a clean image from a single observation corrupted by a mixture of blur, downsampling, noise, and missing pixels. Building on implicit neural representations (INRs), we introduce a multi-grade coarse-to-fine residual hierarchy that progressively refines the reconstruction across resolution grades, improving representational fidelity and mitigating spectral limitations.

Learning spatially varying regularisation parameters of low regularity for image reconstruction

The article reviews how spatially adaptive regularisation weight functions can be incorporated into variational image reconstruction models like Total Variation and Total Generalised Variation. It discusses the regularity properties of these weights—constant, continuous, or piecewise constant—and how they influence edge and detail preservation. The authors highlight recent hybrid methods that learn low‑regularity weights via deep neural networks, demonstrating their effectiveness in image denoising and MRI reconstruction.

CG-GLORE: A Conjugate Gradient-Based Global-Local Regularization Network for Sparse-View CT Reconstruction

arXiv:2608. 15246v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse-view computed tomography (CT) reduces radiation dose by acquiring fewer projection views, but the resulting inverse problem is highly ill-posed and often produces severe streak artifacts.

Controllable blind deblurring with diffusion models

The paper introduces SuperSharpen, a diffusion-based method for blind deblurring in professional photography that can invert unknown isotropic blur without knowing the degradation kernel. It offers explicit control over restoration strength via a blur measure and compares two conditioning strategies: a ControlNet-style adapter on a frozen backbone and full finetuning of the diffusion prior. Experiments on synthetic and real-world blur show that finetuning yields higher fidelity with fewer hallucinated details, improving perceptual quality and controllable restoration strength.

Perceptually Regularized Diffusion Model for Image Super-Resolution

The paper introduces a perceptually regularized diffusion framework for image super‑resolution, adding perceptual‑loss based regularization to the standard diffusion training objective. This approach incorporates prior knowledge to improve training convergence and encourages the recovery of meaningful image features. Experiments on benchmark datasets show enhanced perceptual quality while maintaining competitive distortion metrics.
