当前的计算像差校正(CAC)方法通常针对特定光学系统设计,泛化能力差且需为新镜头重新训练。本文提出UniCAC——一个通过自动光学设计构建的大规模摄影相机基准数据集,涵盖24种图像恢复与CAC算法的全面实验与评估。引入新型光学退化评估器(ODE),可客观量化像差复杂度,实现可靠的任务难度评估。基于对比分析,识别出影响性能的三大核心因素:先验使用、网络架构和训练策略,并深入研究其作用机制。本工作为跨镜头像差校正提供了基础数据与方法洞察,相关基准、代码与Zemax文件将在https://github.com/XiaolongQian/UniCAC公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Prevalent Computational Aberration Correction (CAC) methods are typically tailored to specific optical systems, leading to poor generalization and labor-intensive re-training for new lenses. Developing CAC paradigms capable of generalizing across diverse photographic lenses offers a promising solution to these challenges. However, efforts to achieve such cross-lens universality within consumer photography are still in their early stages due to the lack of a comprehensive benchmark that encompasses a sufficiently wide range of optical aberrations. Furthermore, it remains unclear which specific factors influence existing CAC methods and how these factors affect their performance. In this paper, we present comprehensive experiments and evaluations involving 24 image restoration and CAC algorithms, utilizing our newly proposed UniCAC, a large-scale benchmark for photographic cameras constructed via automatic optical design. The Optical Degradation Evaluator (ODE) is introduced as a novel framework to objectively assess the difficulty of CAC tasks, offering credible quantification of optical aberrations and enabling reliable evaluation. Drawing on our comparative analysis, we identify three key factors -- prior utilization, network architecture, and training strategy -- that most significantly influence CAC performance, and further investigate their respective effects. We believe that our benchmark, dataset, and observations contribute foundational insights to related areas and lay the groundwork for future investigations. Benchmarks, codes, and Zemax files will be available at https://github.com/XiaolongQian/UniCAC.
