Non-local self-similarity has been well exploited in the single image super-resolution task as an effective prior. However, due to the difficulty of modeling the 4D correspondence globally, the potential of the non-local prior is less revealed for light field (LF) super-resolution. Meanwhile, existing non-local models only utilize the global spatial correspondence, but largely neglect the global geometric correspondence. To address the aforementioned problems, we propose a Decoupled Selective Matching Network (DSMNet) for LF super-resolution, by designing a novel selective matching mechanism to flexibly extract non-local information from specific 4D positions in an LF. Such a mechanism matches the reference patch with several auxiliary patches dynamically searched from predefined windows, which promotes efficiency while improving performance compared to the existing non-local models. Specifically, our DSMNet decouples the whole LF into Sub-Aperture Images (SAIs) and Epipolar Plane Images (EPIs). For each SAI patch, we separately perform the selective matching inside the current SAI and cross different SAIs to exploit the global spatial correspondence efficiently. For each EPI patch, we separately perform the selective matching in EPIs of different orientations to embed robust LF geometric information into features by enhancing EPI textures, which exploits the global geometric correspondence in an efficient manner. Comprehensive experiments validate that DSMNet outperforms state-of-the-art LF super-resolution methods both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Light field (LF) imaging presents a promising avenue for reflection removal, owing to its ability of reliable depth perception and utilization of complementary texture details from multiple sub-aperture images (SAIs). However, the domain shifts between real-world and synthetic scenes, as well as the challenge of embedding transmission information across SAIs pose the main obstacles in this task. In this paper, we conquer the above challenges from the perspectives of data and network, respectively. To mitigate domain shifts, we propose an efficient data synthesis strategy for simulating realistic reflection scenes, and build the largest ever LF reflection dataset containing 420 synthetic scenes and 70 real-world scenes. To enable the transmission information embedding across SAIs, we propose a novel D isparity-guided M ulti-view I nteraction Net work (DMINet) for LF reflection removal. DMINet mainly consists of a transmission disparity estimation (TDE) module and a center-side interaction (CSI) module. The TDE module aims to predict transmission disparity by filtering out reflection disturbances, while the CSI module is responsible for the transmission integration which adopts the central view as the bridge for the propagation conducted between different SAIs. Compared with existing reflection removal methods for LF input, DMINet achieves a distinct performance boost with merits of efficiency and robustness, especially for scenes with complex depth variations.
