A super resolution generative adversarial networks and partition-based adaptive filtering technique for detect and remove flickers in digital color images

Eliminating flickering from digital images captured by cameras equipped with a rolling shutter is of paramount importance in computer vision applications. The ripple effect observed in an individual image is a consequence of the non-synchronized exposure of rolling shutters utilized in CMOS sensor-based cameras. To date, there have been only a limited number of studies focusing on the mitigation of flickering in single images. Furthermore, it is more feasible to eliminate these flickers with prior knowledge, such as camera specifications or matching images. To solve these problems, we present an unsupervised framework Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks and Partition-Based Adaptive Filtering Technique (SRGAN-PBAFT) trained on unpaired images from end to end Deflickering of a single image. Flicker artifacts, which are commonly caused by dynamic lighting circumstances and sensor noise, can severely reduce an image’s visual quality and authenticity. To enhance image resolution SRGAN is used, while Partition based Adaptive Filtering technique detects and mitigates flicker distortions successfully. Combining the strengths of deep learning and adaptive filtering results in a potent approach for restoring image integrity. Experimental results shows that the Proposed SRGAN-PBAFT method is effective, with major improvements in visual quality and flicker aberration reduction compared to existing methods.
