CRCGAN comprises a feature generator, a feature discriminator, an image generator, and an image discriminator, which are designed for robust feature extraction. Concretely, the feature generator extracts features for classification, while the image generator reconstructs images from these features. Two discriminators provide feedback, guiding the generators to improve the quality of generated data. With this design of bi-directional image-to-feature mapping and cyclic adversarial training, CRCGAN achieves the extraction of essential features and minimizes overfitting.

Despite the long-standing interests in depth estimation for image dehazing tasks, few works have fully explored the interactions between depth and dehazing tasks in an unsupervised manner. In this paper, a self-supervised image dehazing framework under the guidance of self-supervised depth estimation has been proposed, to fully exploit the interactions between depth and hazes for image dehazing. Specifically, the hazy image and the corresponding depth estimation are generated and optimized from the clear image in a dual-network self-supervised manner. The correlations between depth and hazy images are exploited in depth-guided hybrid attention Transformer blocks, which adaptively leverage both the cross-attention and self-attention to effectively model hazy densities via cross-modality fusion and capture global context information for better feature representations. In addition, the depth estimations of hazy images are further explored for the detection tasks on hazy images. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the depth estimation not only enhances the model generalization ability across different dehazing datasets, leading to state-of-the-art self-supervised dehazing performance, but also benefits downstream detection tasks on hazy images.

Compared to traditional FVIQA methods that rely on domain knowledge, newer methods that reject low-quality images have been favored for their independence from human interference. However, these methods only consider intra-class similarity information and ignore valuable information from inter-class distribution, which is also an important factor in evaluating the performance of recognition systems. In this work, we propose a novel FVIQA approach, named IIS-FVIQA, which concurrently takes into account the intra-class similarity density and inter-class similarity distribution distance within recognition systems. Specifically, our method generates quality scores for finger vein images by combining the information entropy of intra-class similarity distribution and Wasserstein distance of inter-class distribution. Then, we train a regression network for quality prediction using training images and corresponding quality scores. When a new image enters the recognition system, the trained regression network directly predicts the quality score of the image, making it easier for the system to select the corresponding operation based on the quality score of the image. Extensive experiments conducted on benchmark datasets demonstrate that the IIS-FVIQA method proposed in this paper consistently achieves top performance across multiple public datasets. After filtering out 10% of low-quality images predicted by the quality regression network, the recognition system’s performance improves by 43.96% (SDUMLA), 32.23% (MMCBNU_6000), and 21.20% (FV-USM), respectively.
