Abstract
Deep learning networks are often difficult to train if there are insufficient image samples. Gathering real-world images tailored for a specific job takes a lot of work to perform. This dissertation explores techniques for synthetic image generation and virtual environments for various image enhancement/ correction/restoration tasks, specifically distortion correction, dehazing, shadow removal, and intrinsic image decomposition. First, given various image formation equations, such as those used in distortion correction and dehazing, synthetic image samples can be produced, provided that the equation is well-posed. Second, using virtual environments to train various image models is applicable for simulating real-world effects that are otherwise difficult to gather or replicate, such as dehazing and shadow removal. Given synthetic images, one cannot train a network directly on it as there is a possible gap between the synthetic and real domains. We have devised several techniques for generating synthetic images and formulated domain adaptation methods where our trained deep-learning networks perform competitively in distortion correction, dehazing, and shadow removal. Additional studies and directions are provided for the intrinsic image decomposition problem and the exploration of procedural content generation, where a virtual Philippine city was created as an initial prototype. Keywords: image generation, image correction, image dehazing, shadow removal, intrinsic image decomposition, computer graphics, rendering, machine learning, neural networks, domain adaptation, procedural content generation.
