Self-Refining Deep Symmetry Enhanced Network for Rain Removal
Rain removal aims to extract and remove rain streaks from images. Although convolutional neural network (CNN) based methods have achieved impressive results in this field, they are not equivariant to object rotation, which decreases their generalization capacity for tilted rain streaks. In order to solve this problem, we propose Deep Symmetry Enhanced Network (DSEN). DSEN extracts rotationally equivariant features of rain streaks, and then generates rain layer for image restoration. Furthermore, an efficient self-refining mechanism is designed to remove tilted rain streaks more thoroughly. Experimental study verifies the validity of our method, with self-refining DSEN yielding the state-of-the-art performance on both synthetic and real-world rain image datasets.

Handling Object Symmetries in CNN-based Pose Estimation
In this paper, we investigate the problems that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)-based pose estimators have with symmetric objects. We considered the value of the CNN's output representation when continuously rotating…

Image-based object removal often erases only the named target, leaving behind interaction evidence that renders the result semantically inconsistent. We formalize this problem as Interaction-Consistent Object Removal (IC…

Quantitative estimation of the acute ischemic infarct is crucial to improve neurological outcomes of the patients with stroke symptoms. Since the density of lesions is subtle and can be confounded by normal physiologic c…
Addressing Imperfect Symmetry: a Novel Symmetry-Learning Actor-Critic Extension
Symmetry, a fundamental concept to understand our environment, often oversimplifies reality from a mathematical perspective. Humans are a prime example, deviating from perfect symmetry in terms of appearance and cognitiv…
