LFIEM: Lightweight Filter-based Image Enhancement Model
Oktai Tatanov, Aleksei Samarin
Abstract
Photo retouching features are being integrated into a growing number of mobile applications. Current learning-based approaches enhance images using large convolutional neural network-based models, where the result is received directly from the neural network outputs. This method can lead to artifacts in the resulting images, models that are complicated to interpret, and can be computationally expensive. In this paper, we explore the application of a filter-based approach in order to overcome the problems outlined above. We focus on creating a lightweight solution suitable for use on mobile devices when designing our model. A significant performance increase was achieved through implementing consistency regularization used in semi-supervised learning. The proposed model can be used on mobile devices and achieves competitive results compared to known models.
