The light stage has been widely used in computer graphics for the past two decades, primarily to enable the relighting of human faces. By capturing the appearance of the human subject under different light sources, one obtains the light transport matrix of that subject, which enables image-based relighting in novel environments. However, due to the finite number of lights in the stage, the light transport matrix only represents a sparse sampling on the entire sphere. As a consequence, relighting the subject with a point light or a directional source that does not coincide exactly with one of the lights in the stage requires interpolation and resampling the images corresponding to nearby lights, and this leads to ghosting shadows, aliased specularities, and other artifacts. To ameliorate these artifacts and produce better results under arbitrary high-frequency lighting, this paper proposes a learning-based solution for the super-resolution of scans of human faces taken from a light stage. Given an arbitrary query light direction, our method aggregates the captured images corresponding to neighboring lights in the stage, and uses a neural network to synthesize a rendering of the face that appears to be illuminated by a virtual light source at the query location. This neural network must circumvent the inherent aliasing and regularity of the light stage data that was used for training, which we accomplish through the use of regularized traditional interpolation methods within our network. Our learned model is able to produce renderings for arbitrary light directions that exhibit realistic shadows and specular highlights, and is able to generalize across a wide variety of subjects.

Lighting plays a central role in conveying the essence and depth of the subject in a portrait photograph. Professional photographers will carefully control the lighting in their studio to manipulate the appearance of their subject, while consumer pho
tographers are usually constrained to the illumination of their environment. Though prior works have explored techniques for relighting an image, their utility is usually limited due to requirements of specialized hardware, multiple images of the subject under controlled or known illuminations, or accurate models of geometry and reflectance. To this end, we present a system for portrait relighting: a neural network that takes as input a single RGB image of a portrait taken with a standard cellphone camera in an unconstrained environment, and from that image produces a relit image of that subject as though it were illuminated according to any provided environment map. Our method is trained on a small database of 18 individuals captured under different directional light sources in a controlled light stage setup consisting of a densely sampled sphere of lights. Our proposed technique produces quantitatively superior results on our datasets validation set compared to prior works, and produces convincing qualitative relighting results on a dataset of hundreds of real-world cellphone portraits. Because our technique can produce a 640 $times$ 640 image in only 160 milliseconds, it may enable interactive user-facing photographic applications in the future.
Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely explored in single image super-resolution (SISR) and contribute remarkable progress. However, most of the existing CNNs-based SISR methods do not adequately explore contextual infor
mation in the feature extraction stage and pay little attention to the final high-resolution (HR) image reconstruction step, hence hindering the desired SR performance. To address the above two issues, in this paper, we propose a two-stage attentive network (TSAN) for accurate SISR in a coarse-to-fine manner. Specifically, we design a novel multi-context attentive block (MCAB) to make the network focus on more informative contextual features. Moreover, we present an essential refined attention block (RAB) which could explore useful cues in HR space for reconstructing fine-detailed HR image. Extensive evaluations on four benchmark datasets demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed TSAN in terms of quantitative metrics and visual effects.

Light field (LF) cameras can record scenes from multiple perspectives, and thus introduce beneficial angular information for image super-resolution (SR). However, it is challenging to incorporate angular information due to disparities among LF images
. In this paper, we propose a deformable convolution network (i.e., LF-DFnet) to handle the disparity problem for LF image SR. Specifically, we design an angular deformable alignment module (ADAM) for feature-level alignment. Based on ADAM, we further propose a collect-and-distribute approach to perform bidirectional alignment between the center-view feature and each side-view feature. Using our approach, angular information can be well incorporated and encoded into features of each view, which benefits the SR reconstruction of all LF images. Moreover, we develop a baseline-adjustable LF dataset to evaluate SR performance under different disparity variations. Experiments on both public and our self-developed datasets have demonstrated the superiority of our method. Our LF-DFnet can generate high-resolution images with more faithful details and achieve state-of-the-art reconstruction accuracy. Besides, our LF-DFnet is more robust to disparity variations, which has not been well addressed in literature.
Single image super-resolution (SISR) aims to recover the high-resolution (HR) image from its low-resolution (LR) input image. With the development of deep learning, SISR has achieved great progress. However, It is still a challenge to restore the rea
l-world LR image with complicated authentic degradations. Therefore, we propose FAN, a frequency aggregation network, to address the real-world image super-resolu-tion problem. Specifically, we extract different frequencies of the LR image and pass them to a channel attention-grouped residual dense network (CA-GRDB) individually to output corresponding feature maps. And then aggregating these residual dense feature maps adaptively to recover the HR image with enhanced details and textures. We conduct extensive experiments quantitatively and qualitatively to verify that our FAN performs well on the real image super-resolution task of AIM 2020 challenge. According to the released final results, our team SR-IM achieves the fourth place on the X4 track with PSNR of 31.1735 and SSIM of 0.8728.
Existing physical cloth simulators suffer from expensive computation and difficulties in tuning mechanical parameters to get desired wrinkling behaviors. Data-driven methods provide an alternative solution. It typically synthesizes cloth animation at
a much lower computational cost, and also creates wrinkling effects that highly resemble the much controllable training data. In this paper we propose a deep learning based method for synthesizing cloth animation with high resolution meshes. To do this we first create a dataset for training: a pair of low and high resolution meshes are simulated and their motions are synchronized. As a result the two meshes exhibit similar large-scale deformation but different small wrinkles. Each simulated mesh pair are then converted into a pair of low and high resolution images (a 2D array of samples), with each sample can be interpreted as any of three features: the displacement, the normal and the velocity. With these image pairs, we design a multi-feature super-resolution (MFSR) network that jointly train an upsampling synthesizer for the three features. The MFSR architecture consists of two key components: a sharing module that takes multiple features as input to learn low-level representations from corresponding super-resolution tasks simultaneously; and task-specific modules focusing on various high-level semantics. Frame-to-frame consistency is well maintained thanks to the proposed kinematics-based loss function. Our method achieves realistic results at high frame rates: 12-14 times faster than traditional physical simulation. We demonstrate the performance of our method with various experimental scenes, including a dressed character with sophisticated collisions.
