An overview of our cross-field joint image restoration framework. Given image pairs in (a) and (b), our method can get the high-quality restoration result in (c). The s maps in different iterations are shown in (e)-(h).

Abstract

Color, infrared and flash images captured in different fields can be employed to effectively eliminate noise and other visual artifacts. We propose a two-image restoration framework considering input images from different fields, for example, one noisy color image and one dark-flashed near-infrared image. The major issue in such a framework is to handle all structure divergence and find commonly usable edges and smooth transitions for visually plausible image reconstruction. We introduce a novel scale map as a competent representation to explicitly model derivative-level confidence and propose new functions and a numerical solver to effectively infer it following our important structural observations. Our method is general and shows the principled way to solve cross-field restoration problems.
