Facet: Bag of Tricks to Suppress Facet Noise in Image Super Resolution Based on Self Similarity
摘要
Self similarity modeling, derived from fractal analysis, is crucial in image super resolution. However, magnifying images significantly often introduces “Facet noise,” where local pixels show an irregular distribution like fish scales, compromising image aesthetics and obscuring details. To address this, we present a range of solutions, including Hermite matrix decomposition for structural analysis, directional filter banks for enhancing local texture, truncated singular value decomposition to reduce noise, and an energy loss function to guide model convergence. We also explore self similarity and matrix self similarity models to improve image quality, collectively termed as Facet. Rigorous experiments on renowned datasets show that Facet effectively suppresses Facet noise, restores natural textures, and enhances the image quantization index, demonstrating its practicality and contribution to image super resolution research.
