Abstract

Methods and systems are provided to generate an uncorrupted version of an image given an observed image that is a corrupted version of the image. In some embodiments, a corruption mimicking (“CM”) system iteratively trains a corruption mimicking network (“CMN”) to generate corrupted images given modeled images, updates latent vectors based on differences between the corrupted images and observed images, and applies a generator to the latent vectors to generate modeled images. The training, updating, and applying are performed until modeled images that are input to the CMN result in corrupted images that approximate the observed images. Because the CMN is trained to mimic the corruption of the observed images, the final modeled images represented the uncorrupted version of the observed images.
