Bokeh rendering from pictures taken with small-aperture cameras has attracted much attention due to its system simplicity. Most of the existing methods employ Convolutional Neural Networks and often mistakenly blur the foreground due to the limited receptive field. In contrast, Transformers can easily capture long-range dependencies. Therefore, it is more suitable for this problem. However, Transformers suffer from a high computation burden, especially for high-resolution images. In this paper, we propose a Dilated Wavelet Transformer model for Bokeh Rendering (DiWTBR) from a single small-aperture image with megapixels. It employs both window attention and dilated attention schemes, introducing both local and global spatial interactions at a low computation cost. Moreover, to further improve the efficiency, we employ the wavelet transform in the attention block. Experimental results demonstrate that DiWTBR outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by up to 0.7dB in PSNR. Last but not least, our model can be readily implemented on mainstream personal computers and laptops, with only 4G GPU memory consumption. The code will be available on GitHub upon acceptance.","PeriodicalId":13217,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Image Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145545046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this approach faces two challenges: 1) Explicit alignment reduces discriminability, while implicit alignment risks pseudo-label noise, making it hard to balance structure preservation and alignment. 2) Sole reliance on entropy minimization can lead to trivial solutions in UDA, where all samples collapse into a single class. To address these issues, we propose Dual-Space Topological Isomorphism and Maximization of Predictive Diversity (DTI-MPD). Topological isomorphism is a continuous, bijective mapping that preserves the topological properties of two spaces, ensuring the global structure and relationships of data remain intact during alignment. Our method aligns source and target domain data in two independent spaces while balancing the effects of entropy minimization through predictive diversity maximization. The core of dual-space topological isomorphism lies in establishing a reversible correspondence between the source and target domains, avoiding information loss during alignment and preserving the global structural and topological characteristics of the data. Meanwhile, predictive diversity maximization mitigates the class collapse caused by entropy minimization, ensuring a more balanced predictive distribution across categories. This approach effectively overcomes the aforementioned issues, enabling better adaptation to new data. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple benchmark datasets, validating its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":13217,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Image Processing","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145071875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general, the prevailing state-of-the-art image restoration methods concentrate on solving only a specific degradation type according to the task, e.g. deblurring or deraining. However, if the corresponding well-trained frameworks confront other real-world image corruptions, i.e., the corruptions are not covered in the training phase, and state-of-the-art restoration models will suffer from a lack of generalization ability. We have observed that an image restoration model can be easily confused by noise corruption. Towards improving the robustness of image restoration networks, in this paper, we focus on alleviating the corruption of noise in various image restoration tasks, which is almost inevitable in real-world scenes. To this end, we devise a novel Multifarious Augmentation strategy against Noise (CAN) to enhance the robustness of specific image restoration. Specifically, the given degraded images are sequentially augmented from different perspectives, i.e., noise-aware augmentation, and model-aware augmentation. The noise-aware augmentation is proposed to enrich the samples by introducing various noise operations. Moreover, to adapt to more unknown corruptions, we propose a novel model-aware augmentation mechanism, which enhances the scalability by exploring useful both spatial and frequency clues with the help of model randomness. It is worth noting that the proposed augmentation scheme is model-agnostic, and it can plug and play into arbitrary state-of-the-art image restoration architectures. In addition, we construct noise corruption benchmark datasets, derived from the validation set of standard image restoration datasets, to assist us in evaluating the robustness of restoration networks. Extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations demonstrate that the proposed method has strong generalization capability which can enhance the robustness of various image restoration frameworks when facing diverse noises.","PeriodicalId":13217,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Image Processing","volume":"169 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144802608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
