A Deep Reconstruction Framework with Ringing Artifact Suppression for Overexposed Remote Sensing Image Restoration

Computational imaging shifts part of the aberration correction from optical hardware to algorithms, offering a viable path toward compact, simplified systems. However, overexposed regions—often caused by phenomena such as water-body reflections—can readily induce severe ringing artifacts in reconstructed images. To address this problem, we propose a Ringing-perceptive Cooperative Reconstruction Network (RPCR-Net). This network integrates a learned Wiener filter and a field-of-view shared kernel prediction network (FOV-KPN) for feature extraction and innovatively incorporates a combined regularization mechanism that leverages a Local Maximum Gradient Prior and a multi-scale ringing measurement model within its loss function to suppress artifacts while preserving details. Validated on a constructed overexposed image dataset, RPCR-Net improves the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) from 29.08 dB to 37.06 dB and the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) from 0.8795 to 0.9549. Experiments on real-world scenes further confirm its capability to suppress ringing artifacts while maintaining visual quality. The proposed method can generate high-quality images such as image reconstruction and robustness improvement in optical systems.

Abstract

Computational imaging shifts part of the aberration correction from optical hardware to algorithms, offering a viable path toward compact, simplified systems. However, overexposed regions—often caused by phenomena such as water-body reflections—can readily induce severe ringing artifacts in reconstructed images. To address this problem, we propose a Ringing-perceptive Cooperative Reconstruction Network (RPCR-Net). This network integrates a learned Wiener filter and a field-of-view shared kernel prediction network (FOV-KPN) for feature extraction and innovatively incorporates a combined regularization mechanism that leverages a Local Maximum Gradient Prior and a multi-scale ringing measurement model within its loss function to suppress artifacts while preserving details. Validated on a constructed overexposed image dataset, RPCR-Net improves the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) from 29.08 dB to 37.06 dB and the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) from 0.8795 to 0.9549. Experiments on real-world scenes further confirm its capability to suppress ringing artifacts while maintaining visual quality. The proposed method can generate high-quality images such as image reconstruction and robustness improvement in optical systems.
