NTIRE is the coolest conference you’ve never heard of.
Deleting motion blur? Sure.
Night Vision? No problem.
Every year, labs compete on categories like hyperspectral restoration, satellite image enhancement, even raindrop removal (think car sensors)! Some highlights ->
Low-light enhancement is always popular.
Retinexformer, shown here got 2nd place in the 2024 contest.
A *TINY* transformer-based model, it runs in about 0.5 seconds for a 6K image on a single 3090. Only 1.6M parameters (<2MB weights at INT8)!
Maybe motion blur removal is more your thing.
UAVs are often used to examine wind turbine blades for early failure warning. Movement of drone + rotational velocity pose a challenge.
Here’s the 2021 winner DeblurGANv2, taking ~0.19s of processing per image.
