Content-Aware Depth-Adaptive Image Restoration (2401.05049v1)

Abstract: This work prioritizes building a modular pipeline that utilizes existing models to systematically restore images, rather than creating new restoration models from scratch. Restoration is carried out at an object-specific level, with each object regenerated using its corresponding class label information. The approach stands out by providing complete user control over the entire restoration process. Users can select models for specialized restoration steps, customize the sequence of steps to meet their needs, and refine the resulting regenerated image with depth awareness. The research provides two distinct pathways for implementing image regeneration, allowing for a comparison of their respective strengths and limitations. The most compelling aspect of this versatile system is its adaptability. This adaptability enables users to target particular object categories, including medical images, by providing models that are trained on those object classes.
