Dynamic Attentive Graph Learning for Image Restoration [PDF]
2021 IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), 2021 Non-local self-similarity in natural images has been verified to be an effective prior for image restoration. However, most existing deep non-local methods assign a fixed number of neighbors for each query item, neglecting the dynamics of non-local correlations. Moreover, the non-local correlations are usually based on pixels, prone to be biased due to

Sound and Soundscape in Restorative Natural Environments: A Narrative Literature Review
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Acoustic experiences of nature represent a growing area in restorative environments research and are explored in this narrative literature review. First, the work surveyed indicates that nature is broadly characterized by the sounds of birdsong, wind ...

Nature’s Broken Path to Restoration. A Critical Look at Attention Restoration Theory [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Psychology, 2018 Over the past three decades, a growing body of environmental psychology research has demonstrated that interacting with natural environments – and especially greenspace – can have beneficial psychological effects on human individuals. One influential and widely-cited theoretical account to explain such effects is Attention Restoration Theory (ART). ART

Effects of Natural Environmental Stimulation Duration on Psychophysiological Recovery Benefits
HortScience, 2021 The rapid pace of modern life, as well as chronic work and academic overloading, contribute to our society’s progressively increasing stress levels. Chronic stress can affect both physical and mental well-being.

Adaptive Cross-Layer Attention for Image Restoration
CoRR, 2022 Non-local attention module has been proven to be crucial for image restoration. Conventional non-local attention processes features of each layer separately, so it risks missing correlation between features among different layers. To address this problem, we aim to design attention modules that aggregate information from different layers.

Frontiers in Virtual Reality, 2020 Nature walks are an effective and popular means to replenish fatigued mental resources. Alas, nature walks are not always accessible due to a lack of time or limited availability. We report on the design and pilot test of a room-scale virtual reality (VR)

Accurate Image Restoration with Attention Retractable Transformer
CoRR, 2022 Recently, Transformer-based image restoration networks have achieved promising improvements over convolutional neural networks due to parameter-independent global interactions. To lower computational cost, existing works generally limit self-attention computation within non-overlapping windows. However, each group of tokens are always from a dense area
