New framework links network equivariance to data symmetry for image restoration

Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework to better understand the relationship between network equivariance and data symmetry in image restoration tasks. They propose a quantifiable definition of non-strict symmetry at the dataset level and use it to constrain the restoration problem, deriving model equivariance from this constraint. This approach leads to an adaptive equivariant network that dynamically aligns with individual sample symmetries, demonstrating superior performance in experiments on super-resolution, denoising, and deraining compared to existing methods.

    Aligning Network Equivariance with Data Symmetry: A Theoretical Framework and Adaptive Approach for Image Restoration

    Image restoration is an inherently ill posed inverse problem. Equivariant networks that embed geometric symmetry priors can mitigate this ill posedness and improve performance. However, current understanding of the relationship between network equivariance and data symmetry remai…
