FC3DNet: A Fully Connected Encoder-Decoder for Efficient Demoir'eing

Moir'e patterns are commonly seen when taking photos of screens. Camera devices usually have limited hardware performance but take high-resolution photos. However, users are sensitive to the photo processing time, which presents a hardly considered challenge of efficiency for demoir'eing methods. To balance the network speed and quality of results, we propose a Fully Connected enCoder-deCoder based Demoir'eing Network (FC3DNet). FC3DNet utilizes features with multiple scales in each stage of the decoder for comprehensive information, which contains long-range patterns as well as various local moir'e styles that both are crucial aspects in demoir'eing. Besides, to make full use of multiple features, we design a Multi-Feature Multi-Attention Fusion (MFMAF) module to weigh the importance of each feature and compress them for efficiency. These designs enable our network to achieve performance comparable to state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods in real-world datasets while utilizing only a fraction of parameters, FLOPs, and runtime.
