Supervised learning models can generalize well from a single image or even part of an image, requiring minimal training data and computational resources.
الملخص
The paper investigates a patch-based supervised learning approach for image restoration tasks that requires only a single image example for training. The key highlights and insights are:
- Supervised learning models can generalize well from a single image or even part of an image, challenging the common assumption that large training datasets are required.
- The proposed framework uses a compact encoder-decoder architecture, demonstrating the applicability and efficiency of one-shot learning for image deblurring and single image super-resolution.
- The training is computationally efficient, taking only 1-30 seconds on a GPU and a few minutes on a CPU, and requiring minimal memory.
- The inference time is also relatively low compared to other image restoration methods.
- The RNN-based patch-to-latent-space encoder can be viewed as a sparse solver starting from an initial condition based on the previous time step, providing an intuitive explanation for the success of RNNs.
- The framework is tested on Gaussian deblurring and super-resolution tasks, achieving results comparable to state-of-the-art methods despite being trained on a single input-output pair.
- Experiments with simplified synthetic training pairs suggest the model can learn and generalize style transfer, indicating potential for deeper theoretical investigation.

"Can supervised learning models generalize well solely by learning from one image or even part of an image? If so, then what is the minimal amount of patches required to achieve acceptable generalization?"
"Training efficiency of the proposed framework introduces significant improvement. Namely, training takes about 1-30 seconds on a GPU workstation, and few minutes on a CPU workstation (2-4 minutes), and requires minimal memory, thus significantly reduces the required computational resources."
