One Latent Space to Rule All Degradations: Unifying Restoration Knowledge for Image Fusion
- 构建统一潜在特征空间,避免复杂数据格式依赖。
- 在真实图像修复数据集上训练,显著提升融合效果。
- 适合需要高鲁棒性图像融合的军事、医疗等场景。
一体化退化感知融合模型(ADFMs)旨在通过缓解源图像中的退化并生成高质量融合图像来应对复杂场景。主流 ADFMs 依赖端到端学习和大量合成数据实现退化感知与融合,但这种粗略的学习策略和对非真实世界数据集的依赖常限制其性能上限,导致结果质量不佳。为此,我们提出 LURE 模型,一种面向红外与可见光图像融合的、具备退化感知能力的学习驱动统一表示方法。LURE 学习一个统一的潜在特征空间(ULFS),以消除以往端到端学习管道中对复杂数据格式的依赖,并通过利用多模态间的内在关系进一步提升融合质量。我们还设计了一种新型损失函数,使统一潜在表示的学习更稳定。更重要的是,LURE 可无缝整合现有的高质量真实世界图像修复数据集。为增强模型表示能力,我们设计了一种简单有效的内部残差模块,以促进潜在特征的学习。实验表明,该方法在通用融合、退化感知融合及下游任务中均优于现有最先进方法。代码见附录。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
All-in-One Degradation-Aware Fusion Models (ADFMs) as one of multi-modal image fusion models, which aims to address complex scenes by mitigating degradations from source images and generating high-quality fused images. Mainstream ADFMs rely on end-to-end learning and heavily synthesized datasets to achieve degradation awareness and fusion. This rough learning strategy and non-real world scenario dataset dependence often limit their upper-bound performance, leading to low-quality results. To address these limitations, we present LURE, a Learning-driven Unified REpresentation model for infrared and visible image fusion, which is degradation-aware. LURE learns a Unified Latent Feature Space (ULFS) to avoid the dependency on complex data formats inherent in previous end-to-end learning pipelines. It further improves image fusion quality by leveraging the intrinsic relationships between multi-modalities. A novel loss function is also proposed to drive the learning of unified latent representations more stable.More importantly, LURE seamlessly incorporates existing high-quality real-world image restoration datasets. To further enhance the model's representation capability, we design a simple yet effective structure, termed internal residual block, to facilitate the learning of latent features. Experiments show our method outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods across general fusion, degradation-aware fusion, and downstream tasks. The code is available in the supplementary materials.
