Abstract

Moiré patterns caused by aliasing between the camera's sensor and the monitor can severely degrade image quality. Image demoiréing is a multi-task image restoration method that includes texture and color restoration. This paper proposes a new multibranch wavelet-based image demoiréing network (MBWDN) for moiré pattern removal. Moiré images are separated into sub-band images using wavelet decomposition, and demoiréing can be achieved using the different learning strategies of two networks: moiré removal network (MRN) and detail-enhanced moiré removal network (DMRN). MRN removes moiré patterns from low-frequency images while preserving the structure of smooth areas. DMRN simultaneously removes high-frequency moiré patterns and enhances fine details in images. Wavelet decomposition is used to replace traditional upsampling, and max pooling effectively increases the receptive field of the network without losing the spatial information. Through decomposing the moiré image into different levels using wavelet transform, the feature learning results of each branch can be fully preserved and fed into the next branch; therefore, possible distortions in the recovered image are avoided. Thanks to the separation of high- and low-frequency images during feature training, the proposed two networks achieve impressive moiré removal effects. Based on extensive experiments conducted using public datasets, the proposed method shows good demoiréing validity both quantitatively and qualitatively when compared with the state-of-the-art approaches.

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.
