We propose a moire artifacts removal algorithm for screen-shot images using multiple domain learning. First, we estimate clean preliminary images by exploiting complementary information of the moire artifacts in pixel value and frequency domains. Next, we estimate a clean edge map of the input moire image by developing a clean edge predictor. Then, we refine the pixel and frequency domain outputs to further improve the quality of the results using the estimated edge map as the guide information. Finally, the proposed algorithm obtains the final result by merging the two refined results. Experimental results on a public dataset demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional algorithms in quantitative and qualitative comparison.
