We interpret convolutional networks as adaptive filters and combine them with so-called MuxOut layers to efficiently upscale low resolution images. We formalize this interpretation by deriving a linear and space-variant structure of a convolutional network when its activations are fixed. We introduce general purpose algorithms to analyze a network and show its overall filter effect for each given location. We use this analysis to evaluate two types of image upscalers: deterministic upscalers that target the recovery of details from original content; and second, a new generation of upscalers that can sample the distribution of upscale aliases (images that share the same downscale version) that look like real content.

Multi-frame image super-resolution (MISR) aims to fuse information in low-resolution (LR) image sequence to compose a high-resolution (HR) one, which is applied extensively in many areas recently. Different with single image super-resolution (SISR), sub-pixel transitions between multiple frames introduce additional information, attaching more significance to fusion operator to alleviate the ill-posedness of MISR. For reconstruction-based approaches, the inevitable projection of reconstruction errors from LR space to HR space is commonly tackled by an interpolation operator, however crude interpolation may not fit the natural image and generate annoying blurring artifacts, especially after fusion operator. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end fast upscaling technique to replace the interpolation operator, design upscaling filters in LR space for periodic sub-locations respectively and shuffle the filter results to derive the final reconstruction errors in HR space. The proposed fast upscaling technique not only reduce the computational complexity of the upscaling operation by utilizing shuffling operation to avoid complex operation in HR space, but also realize superior performance with fewer blurring artifacts. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed technique, whilst, combining the proposed technique with bilateral total variation (BTV) regu-larization, the MISR approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
Image representation is a fundamental task in computer vision. However, most of the existing approaches for image representation ignore the relations between images and consider each input image independently. Intuitively, relations between images ca n help to understand the images and maintain model consistency over related images. In this paper, we consider modeling the image-level relations to generate more informative image representations, and propose ImageGCN, an end-to-end graph convolutional network framework for multi-relational image modeling. We also apply ImageGCN to chest X-ray (CXR) images where rich relational information is available for disease identification. Unlike previous image representation models, ImageGCN learns the representation of an image using both its original pixel features and the features of related images. Besides learning informative representations for images, ImageGCN can also be used for object detection in a weakly supervised manner. The Experimental results on ChestX-ray14 dataset demonstrate that ImageGCN can outperform respective baselines in both disease identification and localization tasks and can achieve comparable and often better results than the state-of-the-art methods.
Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) are capable of obtaining powerful image representations, which have attracted great attentions in image recognition. However, they are limited in modeling orientation transformation by the internal mechanism . In this paper, we develop Orientation Convolution Networks (OCNs) for image recognition based on the proposed Landmark Gabor Filters (LGFs) that the robustness of the learned representation against changed of orientation can be enhanced. By modulating the convolutional filter with LGFs, OCNs can be compatible with any existing deep learning networks. LGFs act as a Gabor filter bank achieved by selecting $ p $ $ left( ll nright) $ representative Gabor filters as andmarks and express the original Gabor filters as sparse linear combinations of these landmarks. Specifically, based on a matrix factorization framework, a flexible integration for the local and the global structure of original Gabor filters by sparsity and low-rank constraints is utilized. With the propogation of the low-rank structure, the corresponding sparsity for representation of original Gabor filter bank can be significantly promoted. Experimental results over several benchmarks demonstrate that our method is less sensitive to the orientation and produce higher performance both in accuracy and cost, compared with the existing state-of-art methods. Besides, our OCNs have few parameters to learn and can significantly reduce the complexity of training network.
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have become the de-facto standard in computer vision, as well as in many other pattern recognition tasks. A key drawback of DNNs is that the training phase can be very computationally expensive. Organizations or individual s that cannot afford purchasing state-of-the-art hardware or tapping into cloud-hosted infrastructures may face a long waiting time before the training completes or might not be able to train a model at all. Investigating novel ways to reduce the training time could be a potential solution to alleviate this drawback, and thus enabling more rapid development of new algorithms and models. In this paper, we propose LightLayers, a method for reducing the number of trainable parameters in deep neural networks (DNN). The proposed LightLayers consists of LightDense andLightConv2D layer that are as efficient as regular Conv2D and Dense layers, but uses less parameters. We resort to Matrix Factorization to reduce the complexity of the DNN models resulting into lightweight DNNmodels that require less computational power, without much loss in the accuracy. We have tested LightLayers on MNIST, Fashion MNIST, CI-FAR 10, and CIFAR 100 datasets. Promising results are obtained for MNIST, Fashion MNIST, CIFAR-10 datasets whereas CIFAR 100 shows acceptable performance by using fewer parameters.
In this paper, we propose to utilize Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and the segmentation-based multi-scale analysis to locate tampered areas in digital images. First, to deal with color input sliding windows of different scales, a unified CNN a rchitecture is designed. Then, we elaborately design the training procedures of CNNs on sampled training patches. With a set of robust multi-scale tampering detectors based on CNNs, complementary tampering possibility maps can be generated. Last but not least, a segmentation-based method is proposed to fuse the maps and generate the final decision map. By exploiting the benefits of both the small-scale and large-scale analyses, the segmentation-based multi-scale analysis can lead to a performance leap in forgery localization of CNNs. Numerous experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our method.
