Edge-based perceptual feature in GANs for image denoising

Aug 2026 · Pattern Analysis and Applications · Vol 29 · 0 citations · 46 references

TL;DR

This study proposes the use of edge-based features within the GANs framework to efficiently reduce feature redundancy during training, which mitigates artifact-related issues and improves image quality but also underscores the significant impact of feature redundancy on the learning process of GAN-based image denoising models.

Deep Edge-Aware Post-Processing for JPEG Enhancement: CNN-Based Artifact Reduction and Image Quality Restoration

A CNN-based edge-aware artifact reduction framework (CNN-AR) is proposed that integrates an enhanced deep super-resolution (EDSR) backbone with a holistically nested edge detection (HED) guided loss, enabling superior artifact suppression while preserving fine structural details.
