JPEG-LS (a lossless (LS) compression standard developed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group) compressed image restoration is a significant problem in remote sensing applications. It faces the following two challenges: first, bridging small pixel-value gaps from wide numerical ranges; and second, removing banding artifacts in the condition of lacking available context information. As far as we know, there is currently no research dealing with the above issues. Hence, we develop this initial line of work on JPEG-LS compressed remote sensing image restoration. We propose a novel CNN model called CARNet. Its core idea is a context-aware residual learning mechanism. Specifically, it realizes residual learning for accurate restoration by adopting a scale-invariant baseline. It enables large receptive fields for banding artifact removal through a context-aware scheme. Additionally, it eases the information flow among stages by utilizing a prior-guided feature-fusion mechanism. Alternatively, we design novel R IQA models to provide a better restoration performance assessment for our study by utilizing gradient priors of JPEG-LS banding artifacts. Furthermore, we prepare a new dataset of JPEG-LS compressed remote sensing images to supplement existing benchmark data. Experiments show that our method sets the state-of-the-art for JPEG-LS compressed remote sensing image restoration. |
