AADNet: Attention aware Demoiréing Network

Abstract

Moire pattern frequently appears in photographs captured with mobile devices and digital cameras, potentially degrading image quality. Despite recent advancements in computer vision, image demoire'ing remains a challenging task due to the dynamic textures and variations in colour, shape, and frequency of moire patterns. Most existing methods struggle to generalize to unseen datasets, limiting their effectiveness in removing moire patterns from real-world scenarios. In this paper, we propose a novel lightweight architecture, AADNet (Attention Aware Demoireing Network), for high-resolution image demoire'ing that effectively works across different frequency bands and generalizes well to unseen datasets. Extensive experiments conducted on the UHDM dataset validate the effectiveness of our approach, resulting in high-fidelity images.
