Aligning Motion-Blurred Images Using Contrastive Learning on Overcomplete Pixels
<|reference_start|>Aligning Motion-Blurred Images Using Contrastive Learning on Overcomplete Pixels: We propose a new contrastive objective for learning overcomplete pixel-level features that are invariant to motion blur. Other invariances (e.g., pose, illumination, or weather) can be learned by applying the corresponding transformations on unlabeled images during self-supervised training. We showcase that a simple U-Net trained with our objective can produce local features useful for aligning the frames of an unseen video captured with a moving camera under realistic and challenging conditions. Using a carefully designed toy example, we also show that the overcomplete pixels can encode the identity of objects in an image and the pixel coordinates relative to these objects.<|reference_end|>
