​​SwinIR: Image Restoration Using Swin Transformer
Image restoration is a long-standing low-level vision problem that aims to restore high-quality images from low-quality images (e.g., downscaled, noisy, and compressed images). While state-of-the-art image restoration methods are based on convolutional neural networks, few attempts have been made with Transformers, which show impressive performance on high-level vision tasks.
The authors use a model SwinIR based on the Swin Transformers. Experimental results demonstrate that SwinIR outperforms state-of-the-art methods on different tasks (image super-resolution, image denoising, and JPEG compression artifact reduction) by up to 0.14~0.45dB, while the total number of parameters can be reduced by up to 67%.
