Abstract
A processor-implemented method with degraded image restoration includes: receiving a degraded training image; training a first teacher network of an image restoration network and a second teacher network of the image restoration network to infer differential images corresponding to the degraded training image, wherein each of the first teacher network and the second teacher network comprises a differentiable activation layer and a performance of the first teacher network is greater than that of the second teacher network; initially setting a student network of the image restoration network based on the second teacher network; and training the student network to infer a differential image corresponding to the degraded training image by iteratively backpropagating, to the student network, a contrastive loss that decreases a first difference between a third output of the student network and a first output of the first teacher network and increases a second difference between the third output and a second output of the second teacher network.
