Abstract
- By hiding the front-facing camera below the display panel, Under-Display Camera (UDC) provides users with a full-screen experience. However, due to the characteristics of the display, images taken by UDC suffer from significant quality degradation. Methods have been proposed to tackle UDC image restoration and advances have been achieved. There are still no specialized methods and datasets for restoring UDC face images, which may be the most common problem in the UDC scene. To this end, considering color filtering, brightness attenuation, and diffraction in the imaging process of UDC, we propose a two-stage network UDC Degradation Model Network named UDC-DMNet to synthesize UDC images by modeling the processes of UDC imaging. Then we use UDC-DMNet and high-quality face images from FFHQ and CelebA-Test to create UDC face training datasets FFHQ-P/T and testing datasets CelebA-Test-P/T for UDC face restoration. We propose a novel dictionary-guided transformer network named DGFormer. Introducing the facial component dictionary and the characteristics of the UDC image in the restoration makes DGFormer capable of addressing blind face restoration in UDC scenarios. Experiments show that our DGFormer and UDC-DMNet achieve state-of-the-art performance.<br />Comment: To appear in IEEE TCSVT
