Rectified Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks for Perceptual Image Restoration

Wasserstein generative adversarial network (WGAN) has attracted great attention due to its solid mathematical background, i.e., to minimize the Wasserstein distance between the generated distribution and the distribution of interest. In WGAN, the Wasserstein distance is quantitatively evaluated by t...

520 |a Wasserstein generative adversarial network (WGAN) has attracted great attention due to its solid mathematical background, i.e., to minimize the Wasserstein distance between the generated distribution and the distribution of interest. In WGAN, the Wasserstein distance is quantitatively evaluated by the discriminator, also known as the critic. The vanilla WGAN trained the critic with the simple Lipschitz condition, which was later shown less effective for modeling complex distributions, like the distribution of natural images. We try to improve the WGAN training by introducing pairwise constraint on the critic, oriented to image restoration tasks. In principle, pairwise constraint is to suggest the critic assign a higher rating to the original (real) image than to the restored (generated) image, as long as such a pair of images are available. We show that such pairwise constraint may be implemented by rectifying the gradients in WGAN training, which leads to the proposed rectified Wasserstein generative adversarial network (ReWaGAN). In addition, we build interesting connections between ReWaGAN and the perception-distortion tradeoff. We verify ReWaGAN on two representative image restoration tasks: single image super-resolution (4× and 8×) and compression artifact reduction, where our ReWaGAN not only beats the vanilla WGAN consistently, but also outperforms the state-of-the-art perceptual quality-oriented methods significantly. Our code and models are publicly available at https://github.com/mahaichuan/ReWaGAN
