| # Frequency-Aware Super-Denoiser 🎯 |
|
|
| A novel frequency-domain diffusion model for image enhancement and restoration tasks. This model excels as a **super-denoiser** rather than a traditional generative model, making it highly practical for real-world applications. |
|
|
| ## 🚀 Model Overview |
|
|
| This implementation introduces a **Frequency-Aware Diffusion Model** that processes images in the frequency domain using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Unlike traditional diffusion models focused on generation, this model specializes in image enhancement, restoration, and denoising tasks. |
|
|
| ### Key Features |
| - 🔬 **DCT-based processing**: Patch-wise frequency domain enhancement (16×16 patches) |
| - ⚡ **High-performance denoising**: 95-99% reconstruction fidelity (MSE: 0.002-0.047) |
| - 🎛️ **Progressive enhancement**: Multiple enhancement levels with user control |
| - 💾 **Memory efficient**: Patch-based processing reduces computational overhead |
| - 🔄 **Stable training**: No mode collapse, excellent convergence |
| - 🎨 **Multiple applications**: From photo enhancement to medical imaging |
|
