Moiré Pattern Removal via Attentive Fractal Network
Abstract
Moiré patterns are commonly seen artifacts when taking photos of screens and other objects with high-frequency textures. It's challenging to remove the moiré patterns considering its complex color and shape. In this work, we propose an Attentive Fractal Network to effectively solve this problem. First, we construct each Attentive Fractal Block with progressive feature fusion and channel-wise attention guidance. The network is then fractally stacked with the block on each of its levels. Second, to further boost the performance, we adopt a two-stage augmented refinement strategy. With these designs, our method wins the burst demoiréing track and achieves second place in single image demoireing and single image deblurring tracks inNTIRE20 Challenges. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method for moiré pattern removal compared to existing state-of-the-art methods, and prove the effectiveness of its each component. We will publicly release our code and trained weights on https://github.com/ir1d/AFN.

“Second, most existing demoir´ eing methods [7, 1, 13, 5, 16, 17, 18] struggle to remove large-scale, globally distributed moir´ e patterns in both images and videos.”

In the citing paper
“As a result, not only are moir´ e patterns removed, but also the underlying content is often over-smoothed, compromising image fidelity [13, 1].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
