Single Image Super Resolution

Single Image Super-resolution (SISR) produces high-resolution images with fine spatial resolutions from a remotely sensed image with low spatial resolution. Recently, deep learning and generative adversarial networks (GANs) have made breakthroughs for the challenging task of single image super-resolution (SISR) . However, the generated image still suffers from undesirable artifacts such as the absence of texture-feature representation and high-frequency information. We propose a frequency domain-based spatio-temporal remote sensing single image super-resolution technique to reconstruct the HR image combined with generative adversarial networks (GANs) on various frequency bands (TWIST-GAN). We have introduced a new method incorporating Wavelet Transform (WT) characteristics and transferred generative adversarial network. The LR image has been split into various frequency bands by using the WT, whereas the transfer generative adversarial network predicts high-frequency components via a proposed architecture. Finally, the inverse transfer of wavelets produces a reconstructed image with super-resolution. The model is first trained on an external DIV2 K dataset and validated with the UC Merced Landsat remote sensing dataset and Set14 with each image size of 256 × 256. Following that, transferred GANs are used to process spatio-temporal remote sensing images in order to minimize computation cost differences and improve texture information. The findings are compared qualitatively and qualitatively with the current state-of-art approaches. In addition, we saved about 43% of the GPU memory during training and accelerated the execution of our simplified version by eliminating batch normalization layers.

Single Image Dehazing

Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved great improvements in single image dehazing and attained much attention in research. Most existing learning-based dehazing methods are not fully end-to-end, which still follow the traditional dehazing procedure: first estimate the medium transmission and the atmospheric light, then recover the haze-free image based on the atmospheric scattering model. However, in practice, due to lack of priors and constraints, it is hard to precisely estimate these intermediate parameters. Inaccurate estimation further degrades the performance of dehazing, resulting in artifacts, color distortion and insufficient haze removal. To address this, we propose a fully end-to-end Generative Adversarial Networks with Fusion-discriminator (FD-GAN) for image dehazing. With the proposed Fusion-discriminator which takes frequency information as additional priors, our model can generator more natural and realistic dehazed images with less color distortion and fewer artifacts. Moreover, we synthesize a large-scale training dataset including various indoor and outdoor hazy images to boost the performance and we reveal that for learning-based dehazing methods, the performance is strictly influenced by the training data. Experiments have shown that our method reaches state-of-the-art performance on both public synthetic datasets and real-world images with more visually pleasing dehazed results.

This paper presents an evaluation of how data augmentation and inter-class transformations can be used to synthesize training data in low-data scenarios for single-image weather classification. In such scenarios, augmentations is a critical component, but there is a limit to how much improvements can be gained using classical augmentation strategies. Generative adversarial networks (GAN) have been demonstrated to generate impressive results, and have also been successful as a tool for data augmentation, but mostly for images of limited diversity, such as in medical applications. We investigate the possibilities in using generative augmentations for balancing a small weather classification dataset, where one class has a reduced number of images. We compare intra-class augmentations by means of classical transformations as well as noise-to-image GANs, to interclass augmentations where images from another class are transformed to the underrepresented class. The results show that it is possible to take advantage of GANs for inter-class augmentations to balance a small dataset for weather classification. This opens up for future work on GAN-based augmentations in scenarios where data is both diverse and scarce.

In this paper, Spinning Detail Perceptual Generative Adversarial Networks (SDP-GAN) is proposed for single image de-raining. The proposed method adopts the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework and consists of two following networks: the rain streaks generative network G and the discriminative network D. To reduce the background interference, we propose a rain streaks generative network which not only focuses on the high frequency detail map of rainy image, but also directly reduces the mapping range from input to output. To further improve the perceptual quality of generated images, we modify the perceptual loss by extracting high-level features from discriminative network D, rather than pre-trained networks. Furthermore, we introduce a new training procedure based on the notion of self spinning to improve the final de-raining performance. Extensive experiments on the synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significant improvements over the recent state-of-the-art methods.
