Abstract
Various technologies described herein pertain to enhancing a quality attribute of an input image. The input image can have a first level of the quality attribute. Dense correspondences between the input image and candidate exemplar images, which are included in an image database, can be computed utilizing a dense image alignment technique. The candidate exemplar images can have a second level of the quality attribute. Further, the candidate exemplar images can be warped to align with the input image based upon the dense correspondences. Moreover, patches from the candidate exemplar images as warped can be integrated with the input image to generate an output image. The output image can have the second level of the quality attribute.
