1. Bridging Knowledge Gap between Image Inpainting and Large-Area Visible Watermark Removal

Visible watermark removal which involves watermark cleaning and background content restoration is pivotal to evaluate the resilience of watermarks. Existing deep neural network (DNN)-based models still struggle with large-area watermarks and are …

2. Unsupervised Degradation Representation Aware Transform for Real-World Blind Image Super-Resolution

Blind image super-resolution (blind SR) aims to restore a high-resolution (HR) image from a low-resolution (LR) image with unknown degradation. Many existing methods explicitly estimate degradation information from various LR images. However, in most …

3. Removing Interference and Recovering Content Imaginatively for Visible Watermark Removal

4. Cross-Modality High-Frequency Transformer for MR Image Super-Resolution
