Current Trends in Image Restoration and Enhancement
Recent advancements in the field of image restoration and enhancement have seen a significant shift towards addressing complex, composite degradations and improving efficiency in low-light image processing. The focus has been on developing models that can handle multiple degradation types simultaneously, often through innovative step-by-step restoration processes. This approach not only enhances the versatility of models but also significantly improves their performance in real-world scenarios where images are often subject to a variety of distortions.
Another notable trend is the integration of diffusion models for low-light image enhancement, which has shown promise in reducing computational costs while maintaining or even surpassing the quality of existing methods. These models leverage advanced techniques such as trajectory distillation and reflectance-aware diffusion to achieve efficient and effective image restoration.
Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on the development of comprehensive evaluation frameworks that move beyond traditional metrics to incorporate human perception and real-world applicability. This includes the creation of new datasets designed to simulate real-world conditions, which are crucial for training models that can perform well in diverse and challenging environments.
Noteworthy papers include one that introduces a novel step-by-step restoration framework for handling unknown composite degradations, and another that proposes an innovative evaluation framework for low-light image enhancement, addressing the limitations of current methods.
