Overview

We propose a deep reparametrization of the maximum a posteriori formulation commonly employed in multi-frame image restoration tasks. Our approach is derived by introducing a learned error metric and a latent representation of the target image, which transforms the MAP objective to a deep feature space. The deep reparametrization allows us to directly model the image formation process in the latent space, and to integrate learned image priors into the prediction. Our approach thereby leverages the advantages of deep learning, while also benefiting from the principled multi-frame fusion provided by the classical MAP formulation. We validate our approach through comprehensive experiments on burst denoising and burst super-resolution datasets. Our approach sets a new state-of-the-art for both tasks, demonstrating the generality and effectiveness of the proposed formulation.

[Classical multi-frame image restoration approaches minimize a reconstruction error between the observed images and the simulated images to obtain the output image y. In contrast, we employ an encoder E to compute the reconstruction error in a learned feature space. The reconstruction error is minimized w.r.t. a latent representation z, which is then passed through the decoder D to obtain the prediction y.]

Evaluation

You can run the trained models on the included datasets and compute the quality of predictions using the evaluation module.

Note: Please prepare the necessary datasets as explained in Datasets section before running the models.

Evaluate on SyntheticBurst validation set

You can evaluate the models on SyntheticBurst validation set using evaluation/synburst package. First create an experiment setting in evaluation/synburst/experiments containing the list of models to evaluate. You can start with the provided setting deeprep_default.py as a reference. Please refer to network_param.py for examples on how to specify a model for evaluation.

Save network predictions

You can save the predictions of a model on bursts from SyntheticBurst dataset by running

python evaluation/synburst/save_results.py EXPERIMENT_NAME

Here, EXPERIMENT_NAME is the name of the experiment setting you want to use (e.g. deeprep_default). The script will save the predictions of the model in the directory pointed by the save_data_path variable in admin/local.py.

Note The network predictions are saved in linear sensor color space (i.e. color space of input RAW burst), as 16 bit pngs.

Compute performance metrics

You can obtain the standard performance metrics (e.g. PSNR, MS-SSIM, LPIPS) using the compute_score.py script

python evaluation/synburst/compute_score.py EXPERIMENT_NAME

Here, EXPERIMENT_NAME is the name of the experiment setting you want to use (e.g. deeprep_default). The script will run the models to generate the predictions and compute the scores. In case you want to compute performance metrics for results saved using save_results.py, you can run compute_score.py with additonal --load_saved argument.

python evaluation/synburst/compute_score.py EXPERIMENT_NAME --load_saved

In this case, the script will load pre-saved predictions whenever available. If saved predictions are not available, it will run the model to first generate the predictions and then compute the scores.

Qualitative comparison

You can perform qualitative analysis of the model by visualizing the saved network predictions, along with ground truth, in sRGB format using the visualize_results.py script.

python evaluation/synburst/visualize_results.py EXPERIMENT_NAME

Here, EXPERIMENT_NAME is the name of the experiment setting containing the list of models you want to use (e.g. deeprep_default). The script will display the predictions of each model in sRGB format, along with the ground truth. You can toggle between images, zoom in on particular image regions using the UI. See visualize_results.py for details.
