Fast Image Edge-Aware Processing
Participants : Hicham Badri, Hussein Yahia, Driss Aboutajdine.
We present a framework for fast edge-aware processing of images and videos. This is an extension of our previous SIGGRAPH Asia 2013 paper. The proposed approach uses non-convex sparsity on the gradients of the latent smooth image to better preserve sharp edges. We develop tools based on first order proximal estimation for fast processing. We also propose fast and efficient numerical solutions based on separable filters estimation, which enables our method to perform fast high-quality smoothing on large-scale images. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method produces high-quality smoothing compared to state-of-the-art methods, while being fast and simple to implement.
