Abstract
The content discusses the challenges of generalizing image restoration models to out-of-sample degradations not encountered during training. It introduces the Out-of-Sample Restoration (OSR) task and proposes a model reprogramming framework based on quantum mechanics and wave functions. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in handling various types of degradations.
Existing image restoration models struggle with out-of-sample degradations not seen during training. The proposed Out-of-Sample Restoration (OSR) task aims to develop models capable of handling such degradations by introducing a model reprogramming framework inspired by quantum mechanics and wave functions. Through experiments, the framework shows improved performance in restoring images affected by different types of degradation.
The study highlights the importance of developing restoration models with inherent generalization ability to handle out-of-sample degradations effectively. By translating out-of-sample degradations into recognizable categories using a model reprogramming framework, the proposed approach demonstrates flexibility and effectiveness in addressing complex degradation scenarios faced in real-world applications.
