In this paper, we introduce NBNet, a novel framework for image denoising. Unlike previous works, we propose to tackle this challenging problem from a new perspective: noise reduction by image-adaptive projection. Specifically, we propose to train a network that can separate signal and noise by learning a set of reconstruction basis in the feature space. Subsequently, image denosing can be achieved by selecting corresponding basis of the signal subspace and projecting the input into such space. Our key insight is that projection can naturally maintain the local structure of input signal, especially for areas with low light or weak textures. Towards this end, we propose SSA, a non-local subspace attention module designed explicitly to learn the basis generation as well as the subspace projection. We further incorporate SSA with NBNet, a UNet structured network designed for end-to-end image denosing. We conduct evaluations on benchmarks, including SIDD and DND, and NBNet achieves state-of-the-art performance on PSNR and SSIM with significantly less computational cost.

In this paper, we introduce a new framework for unsupervised deep homography estimation. Our contributions are 3 folds. First, unlike previous methods that regress 4 offsets for a homography, we propose a homography flow representation, which can be estimated by a weighted sum of 8 pre-defined homography flow bases. Second, considering a homography contains 8 Degree-of-Freedoms (DOFs) that is much less than the rank of the network features, we propose a Low Rank Representation (LRR) block that reduces the feature rank, so that features corresponding to the dominant motions are retained while others are rejected. Last, we propose a Feature Identity Loss (FIL) to enforce the learned image feature warp-equivariant, meaning that the result should be identical if the order of warp operation and feature extraction is swapped. With this constraint, the unsupervised optimization is achieved more effectively and more stable features are learned. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of all the newly proposed components, and results show that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art on the homography benchmark datasets both qualitatively and quantitatively.

In this work, we explore an innovative strategy for image denoising by using convolutional neural networks (CNN) to learn pixel-distribution from noisy data. By increasing CNNs width with large reception fields and more channels in each layer, CNNs c an reveal the ability to learn pixel-distribution, which is a prior existing in many different types of noise. The key to our approach is a discovery that wider CNNs tends to learn the pixel-distribution features, which provides the probability of that inference-mapping primarily relies on the priors instead of deeper CNNs with more stacked nonlinear layers. We evaluate our work: Wide inference Networks (WIN) on additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and demonstrate that by learning the pixel-distribution in images, WIN-based network consistently achieves significantly better performance than current state-of-the-art deep CNN-based methods in both quantitative and visual evaluations. textit{Code and models are available at url{https://github.com/cswin/WIN}}.
In this paper, we propose a subspace representation learning (SRL) framework to tackle few-shot image classification tasks. It exploits a subspace in local CNN feature space to represent an image, and measures the similarity between two images accord ing to a weighted subspace distance (WSD). When K images are available for each class, we develop two types of template subspaces to aggregate K-shot information: the prototypical subspace (PS) and the discriminative subspace (DS). Based on the SRL framework, we extend metric learning based techniques from vector to subspace representation. While most previous works adopted global vector representation, using subspace representation can effectively preserve the spatial structure, and diversity within an image. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the SRL framework on three public benchmark datasets: MiniImageNet, TieredImageNet and Caltech-UCSD Birds-200-2011 (CUB), and the experimental results illustrate competitive/superior performance of our method compared to the previous state-of-the-art.

Subspace learning (SL) plays an important role in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification, since it can provide an effective solution to reduce the redundant information in the image pixels of HSIs. Previous works about SL aim to improve the accurac y of HSI recognition. Using a large number of labeled samples, related methods can train the parameters of the proposed solutions to obtain better representations of HSI pixels. However, the data instances may not be sufficient enough to learn a precise model for HSI classification in real applications. Moreover, it is well-known that it takes much time, labor and human expertise to label HSI images. To avoid the aforementioned problems, a novel SL method that includes the probability assumption called subspace learning with conditional random field (SLCRF) is developed. In SLCRF, first, the 3D convolutional autoencoder (3DCAE) is introduced to remove the redundant information in HSI pixels. In addition, the relationships are also constructed using the spectral-spatial information among the adjacent pixels. Then, the conditional random field (CRF) framework can be constructed and further embedded into the HSI SL procedure with the semi-supervised approach. Through the linearized alternating direction method termed LADMAP, the objective function of SLCRF is optimized using a defined iterative algorithm. The proposed method is comprehensively evaluated using the challenging public HSI datasets. We can achieve stateof-the-art performance using these HSI sets.
The effectiveness of existing denoising algorithms typically relies on accurate pre-defined noise statistics or plenty of paired data, which limits their practicality. In this work, we focus on denoising in the more common case where noise statistics and paired data are unavailable. Considering that denoising CNNs require supervision, we develop a new textbf{adaptive noise imitation (ADANI)} algorithm that can synthesize noisy data from naturally noisy images. To produce realistic noise, a noise generator takes unpaired noisy/clean images as input, where the noisy image is a guide for noise generation. By imposing explicit constraints on the type, level and gradient of noise, the output noise of ADANI will be similar to the guided noise, while keeping the original clean background of the image. Coupling the noisy data output from ADANI with the corresponding ground-truth, a denoising CNN is then trained in a fully-supervised manner. Experiments show that the noisy data produced by ADANI are visually and statistically similar to real ones so that the denoising CNN in our method is competitive to other networks trained with external paired data.
