Revisiting Non Local Sparse Models for Image Restoration
Year: 2019
Type: preprint
Abstract: We propose a differentiable algorithm for image restoration inspired by the success of sparse models and self-similarity priors for natural images. Our approach builds upon the concept of joint sparsity between groups of similar image patches, and we show how this simple idea can be implemented in a differentiable architecture, allowing end-to-end training. The algorithm has the advantage of being interpretable, performing sparse decompositions of image patches, while being more parameter efficient than recent deep learning methods. We evaluate our algorithm on grayscale and color denoising, where we achieve competitive results, and on demoisaicking, where we outperform the most recent state-of-the-art deep learning model with 47 times less parameters and a much shallower architecture.
