Deep Mean-Shift Priors for Image Restoration
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce a natural image prior that directly represents a Gaussiansmoothed version of the natural image distribution. We include our prior in a formulation of image restoration as a Bayes estimator that also allows us to solve noise-blind image restoration problems. We show that the gradient of our prior corresponds to the mean-shift vector on the natural image distribution. In addition, we learn the mean-shift vector field using denoising autoencoders, and use it in a gradient descent approach to perform Bayes risk minimization. We demonstrate competitive results for noise-blind deblurring, super-resolution, and demosaicing.

Image Restoration using Autoencoding Priors
We propose to leverage denoising autoencoder networks as priors to address image restoration problems. We build on the key observation that the output of an optimal denoising autoencoder is a local mean of the true data density, and the autoencoder error (the difference between the output and input of the trained autoencoder) is a mean shift vector. We use the magnitude of this mean shift vecto...
متن کاملDeep Image Prior
Deep convolutional networks have become a popular tool for image generation and restoration. Generally, their excellent performance is imputed to their ability to learn realistic image priors from a large number of example images. In this paper, we show that, on the contrary, the structure of a generator network is sufficient to capture a great deal of low-level image statistics prior to any le...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Shift Point in Shape Parameter of Inverse Gaussian Distribution Under Different Loss Functions
In this paper, a Bayesian approach is proposed for shift point detection in an inverse Gaussian distribution. In this study, the mean parameter of inverse Gaussian distribution is assumed to be constant and shift points in shape parameter is considered. First the posterior distribution of shape parameter is obtained. Then the Bayes estimators are derived under a class of priors and using variou...
متن کاملThe Return of the Gating Network: Combining Generative Models and Discriminative Training in Natural Image Priors
In recent years, approaches based on machine learning have achieved state-of-theart performance on image restoration problems. Successful approaches include both generative models of natural images as well as discriminative training of deep neural networks. Discriminative training of feed forward architectures allows explicit control over the computational cost of performing restoration and the...
متن کاملIterative image restoration using nonstationary priors.
In this paper, we propose an algorithm for image restoration based on fusing nonstationary edge-preserving priors. We develop a Bayesian modeling followed by an evidence approximation inference approach for deriving the analytic foundations of the proposed restoration method. Through a series of approximations, the final implementation of the proposed image restoration algorithm is iterative an...
