Loop-Mamba framework advances old photo restoration with novel memory techniques

Researchers have introduced Loop-Mamba, a novel framework designed for restoring old photographs. This system utilizes a loop-based state-space approach to progressively refine image restoration states through iterative computation. Key innovations include a Semantic-Guided Degradation Estimator (SGDE) for modeling various photo degradations and a Shared Structural Memory Mamba (S$^2$M- Mamba) to maintain and evolve restoration states across iterations. Loop-Mamba aims to overcome issues like gradient dilution and high computational costs associated with traditional CNN and Transformer methods, while also introducing a new evaluation metric, the Old Photo Damage Recovery Score (ODRS).
