Abstract
- JPEG is the most widely used lossy image compression standard. When using JPEG with high compression ratios, visual artifacts cannot be avoided. These artifacts not only degrade the user experience but also negatively affect many low-level image processing tasks. Recently, convolutional neural network (CNN)-based compression artifact removal approaches have achieved significant success, however, at the cost of high computational complexity due to an enormous number of parameters. To address this issue, we propose a dual-stream recursive residual network (STRRN) which consists of structure and texture streams for separately reducing the specific artifacts related to high-frequency or low-frequency image components. The outputs of these streams are combined and fed into an aggregation network to further enhance the restored images. By using parameter sharing, the proposed network reduces the total number of training parameters significantly. Moreover, experiments conducted on five commonly used datasets confirm that the proposed STRRN can efficiently reduce the compression artifacts, while using up to 4.6 times less training parameters and 5 times less running time compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.
