Abstract:Low-rank Deconvolution (LRD) has appeared as a new multi-dimensional representation model that enjoys important efficiency and flexibility properties. In this work we ask ourselves if this analytical model can compete against Deep Learning (DL) frameworks like Deep Image Prior (DIP) or Blind-Spot Networks (BSN) and other classical methods in the task of signal restoration. More specifically, we propose to extend LRD with differential regularization. This approach allows us to easily incorporate Total Variation (TV) and integral priors to the formulation leading to considerable performance tested on signal restoration tasks such image denoising and video enhancement, and at the same time benefiting from its small computational cost.
Abstract:In this work we present Low-rank Deconvolution, a powerful framework for low-level feature-map learning for efficient signal representation with application to signal recovery. Its formulation in multi-linear algebra inherits properties from convolutional sparse coding and low-rank approximation methods as in this setting signals are decomposed in a set of filters convolved with a set of low-rank tensors. We show its advantages by learning compressed video representations and solving image in-painting problems.
