面部超分辨率方法的性能依赖于它们有效地收回面部结构和突出特征的能力。尽管卷积神经网络和基于生成的对抗网络的方法在面对幻觉任务中提供令人印象深刻的性能，但使用与低分辨率图像相关的属性来提高性能的能力是不令人满意的。在本文中，我们提出了一种属性引导的注意力发生抗体网络，该受体对抗网络采用新的属性引导的注意力（AGA）模块来识别和聚焦图像中各种面部特征的生成过程。堆叠多个AGA模块可以恢复高电平的高级面部结构。我们设计鉴别者来学习利用高分辨率图像与其相应的面部属性注释之间关系的鉴别特征。然后，我们探索基于U-Net的架构来改进现有预测并综合进一步的面部细节。跨越几个指标的广泛实验表明，我们的AGA-GaN和Aga-GaN + U-Net框架优于其他几种最先进的幻觉的方法。我们还演示了我们的方法的可行性，当每个属性描述符未知并因此建立其在真实情景中的应用程序时。

面部超分辨率（FSR），也称为面部幻觉，其旨在增强低分辨率（LR）面部图像以产生高分辨率（HR）面部图像的分辨率，是特定于域的图像超分辨率问题。最近，FSR获得了相当大的关注，并目睹了深度学习技术的发展炫目。迄今为止，有很少有基于深入学习的FSR的研究摘要。在本次调查中，我们以系统的方式对基于深度学习的FSR方法进行了全面审查。首先，我们总结了FSR的问题制定，并引入了流行的评估度量和损失功能。其次，我们详细说明了FSR中使用的面部特征和流行数据集。第三，我们根据面部特征的利用大致分类了现有方法。在每个类别中，我们从设计原则的一般描述开始，然后概述代表方法，然后讨论其中的利弊。第四，我们评估了一些最先进的方法的表现。第五，联合FSR和其他任务以及与FSR相关的申请大致介绍。最后，我们设想了这一领域进一步的技术进步的前景。在\ URL {https://github.com/junjun-jiang/face-hallucination-benchmark}上有一个策划的文件和资源的策划文件和资源清单

Face super-resolution is a domain-specific image super-resolution, which aims to generate High-Resolution (HR) face images from their Low-Resolution (LR) counterparts. In this paper, we propose a novel face super-resolution method, namely Semantic Encoder guided Generative Adversarial Face Ultra-Resolution Network (SEGA-FURN) to ultra-resolve an unaligned tiny LR face image to its HR counterpart with multiple ultra-upscaling factors (e.g., 4x and 8x). The proposed network is composed of a novel semantic encoder that has the ability to capture the embedded semantics to guide adversarial learning and a novel generator that uses a hierarchical architecture named Residual in Internal Dense Block (RIDB). Moreover, we propose a joint discriminator which discriminates both image data and embedded semantics. The joint discriminator learns the joint probability distribution of the image space and latent space. We also use a Relativistic average Least Squares loss (RaLS) as the adversarial loss to alleviate the gradient vanishing problem and enhance the stability of the training procedure. Extensive experiments on large face datasets have proved that the proposed method can achieve superior super-resolution results and significantly outperform other state-of-the-art methods in both qualitative and quantitative comparisons.

Face Restoration (FR) aims to restore High-Quality (HQ) faces from Low-Quality (LQ) input images, which is a domain-specific image restoration problem in the low-level computer vision area. The early face restoration methods mainly use statistic priors and degradation models, which are difficult to meet the requirements of real-world applications in practice. In recent years, face restoration has witnessed great progress after stepping into the deep learning era. However, there are few works to study deep learning-based face restoration methods systematically. Thus, this paper comprehensively surveys recent advances in deep learning techniques for face restoration. Specifically, we first summarize different problem formulations and analyze the characteristic of the face image. Second, we discuss the challenges of face restoration. Concerning these challenges, we present a comprehensive review of existing FR methods, including prior based methods and deep learning-based methods. Then, we explore developed techniques in the task of FR covering network architectures, loss functions, and benchmark datasets. We also conduct a systematic benchmark evaluation on representative methods. Finally, we discuss future directions, including network designs, metrics, benchmark datasets, applications,etc. We also provide an open-source repository for all the discussed methods, which is available at https://github.com/TaoWangzj/Awesome-Face-Restoration.

Informative features play a crucial role in the single image super-resolution task. Channel attention has been demonstrated to be effective for preserving information-rich features in each layer. However, channel attention treats each convolution layer as a separate process that misses the correlation among different layers. To address this problem, we propose a new holistic attention network (HAN), which consists of a layer attention module (LAM) and a channel-spatial attention module (CSAM), to model the holistic interdependencies among layers, channels, and positions. Specifically, the proposed LAM adaptively emphasizes hierarchical features by considering correlations among layers. Meanwhile, CSAM learns the confidence at all the positions of each channel to selectively capture more informative features. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed HAN performs favorably against the state-ofthe-art single image super-resolution approaches.

图像超分辨率（SR）是重要的图像处理方法之一，可改善计算机视野领域的图像分辨率。在过去的二十年中，在超级分辨率领域取得了重大进展，尤其是通过使用深度学习方法。这项调查是为了在深度学习的角度进行详细的调查，对单像超分辨率的最新进展进行详细的调查，同时还将告知图像超分辨率的初始经典方法。该调查将图像SR方法分类为四个类别，即经典方法，基于学习的方法，无监督学习的方法和特定领域的SR方法。我们还介绍了SR的问题，以提供有关图像质量指标，可用参考数据集和SR挑战的直觉。使用参考数据集评估基于深度学习的方法。一些审查的最先进的图像SR方法包括增强的深SR网络（EDSR），周期循环gan（Cincgan），多尺度残留网络（MSRN），Meta残留密度网络（META-RDN） ，反复反射网络（RBPN），二阶注意网络（SAN），SR反馈网络（SRFBN）和基于小波的残留注意网络（WRAN）。最后，这项调查以研究人员将解决SR的未来方向和趋势和开放问题的未来方向和趋势。

盲人恢复通常会遇到各种规模的面孔输入，尤其是在现实世界中。但是，当前的大多数作品都支持特定的规模面，这限制了其在现实情况下的应用能力。在这项工作中，我们提出了一个新颖的尺度感知盲人面部修复框架，名为FaceFormer，该框架将面部特征恢复作为比例感知转换。所提出的面部特征上采样（FFUP）模块基于原始的比例比例动态生成UPSMPLING滤波器，这有助于我们的网络适应任意面部尺度。此外，我们进一步提出了面部特征嵌入（FFE）模块，该模块利用变压器来层次提取面部潜在的多样性和鲁棒性。因此，我们的脸部形式实现了富裕性和稳健性，恢复了面部的面孔，对面部成分具有现实和对称的细节。广泛的实验表明，我们提出的使用合成数据集训练的方法比当前的最新图像更好地推广到天然低质量的图像。

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based image super-resolution (SR) has exhibited impressive success on known degraded low-resolution (LR) images. However, this type of approach is hard to hold its performance in practical scenarios when the degradation process is unknown. Despite existing blind SR methods proposed to solve this problem using blur kernel estimation, the perceptual quality and reconstruction accuracy are still unsatisfactory. In this paper, we analyze the degradation of a high-resolution (HR) image from image intrinsic components according to a degradation-based formulation model. We propose a components decomposition and co-optimization network (CDCN) for blind SR. Firstly, CDCN decomposes the input LR image into structure and detail components in feature space. Then, the mutual collaboration block (MCB) is presented to exploit the relationship between both two components. In this way, the detail component can provide informative features to enrich the structural context and the structure component can carry structural context for better detail revealing via a mutual complementary manner. After that, we present a degradation-driven learning strategy to jointly supervise the HR image detail and structure restoration process. Finally, a multi-scale fusion module followed by an upsampling layer is designed to fuse the structure and detail features and perform SR reconstruction. Empowered by such degradation-based components decomposition, collaboration, and mutual optimization, we can bridge the correlation between component learning and degradation modelling for blind SR, thereby producing SR results with more accurate textures. Extensive experiments on both synthetic SR datasets and real-world images show that the proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art performance compared to existing methods.

深度神经网络极大地促进了单图超分辨率（SISR）的性能。传统方法仍然仅基于图像模态的输入来恢复单个高分辨率（HR）解决方案。但是，图像级信息不足以预测大型展望因素面临的足够细节和光真逼真的视觉质量（x8，x16）。在本文中，我们提出了一种新的视角，将SISR视为语义图像详细信息增强问题，以产生忠于地面真理的语义合理的HR图像。为了提高重建图像的语义精度和视觉质量，我们通过提出文本指导的超分辨率（TGSR）框架来探索SISR中的多模式融合学习，该框架可以从文本和图像模态中有效地利用信息。与现有方法不同，提出的TGSR可以生成通过粗到精细过程匹配文本描述的HR图像详细信息。广泛的实验和消融研究证明了TGSR的效果，该效果利用文本参考来恢复逼真的图像。

随着深度学习（DL）的出现，超分辨率（SR）也已成为一个蓬勃发展的研究领域。然而，尽管结果有希望，但该领域仍然面临需要进一步研究的挑战，例如，允许灵活地采样，更有效的损失功能和更好的评估指标。我们根据最近的进步来回顾SR的域，并检查最新模型，例如扩散（DDPM）和基于变压器的SR模型。我们对SR中使用的当代策略进行了批判性讨论，并确定了有前途但未开发的研究方向。我们通过纳入该领域的最新发展，例如不确定性驱动的损失，小波网络，神经体系结构搜索，新颖的归一化方法和最新评估技术来补充先前的调查。我们还为整章中的模型和方法提供了几种可视化，以促进对该领域趋势的全球理解。最终，这篇综述旨在帮助研究人员推动DL应用于SR的界限。

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) have exhibited impressive performance on image super-resolution tasks. However, these deep learning-based super-resolution methods perform poorly in real-world super-resolution tasks, where the paired high-resolution and low-resolution images are unavailable and the low-resolution images are degraded by complicated and unknown kernels. To break these limitations, we propose the Unsupervised Bi-directional Cycle Domain Transfer Learning-based Generative Adversarial Network (UBCDTL-GAN), which consists of an Unsupervised Bi-directional Cycle Domain Transfer Network (UBCDTN) and the Semantic Encoder guided Super Resolution Network (SESRN). First, the UBCDTN is able to produce an approximated real-like LR image through transferring the LR image from an artificially degraded domain to the real-world LR image domain. Second, the SESRN has the ability to super-resolve the approximated real-like LR image to a photo-realistic HR image. Extensive experiments on unpaired real-world image benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Despite the breakthroughs in accuracy and speed of single image super-resolution using faster and deeper convolutional neural networks, one central problem remains largely unsolved: how do we recover the finer texture details when we super-resolve at large upscaling factors? The behavior of optimization-based super-resolution methods is principally driven by the choice of the objective function. Recent work has largely focused on minimizing the mean squared reconstruction error. The resulting estimates have high peak signal-to-noise ratios, but they are often lacking high-frequency details and are perceptually unsatisfying in the sense that they fail to match the fidelity expected at the higher resolution. In this paper, we present SRGAN, a generative adversarial network (GAN) for image superresolution (SR). To our knowledge, it is the first framework capable of inferring photo-realistic natural images for 4× upscaling factors. To achieve this, we propose a perceptual loss function which consists of an adversarial loss and a content loss. The adversarial loss pushes our solution to the natural image manifold using a discriminator network that is trained to differentiate between the super-resolved images and original photo-realistic images. In addition, we use a content loss motivated by perceptual similarity instead of similarity in pixel space. Our deep residual network is able to recover photo-realistic textures from heavily downsampled images on public benchmarks. An extensive mean-opinion-score (MOS) test shows hugely significant gains in perceptual quality using SRGAN. The MOS scores obtained with SRGAN are closer to those of the original high-resolution images than to those obtained with any state-of-the-art method.

单个图像超分辨率（SISR）是一个不良问题，旨在获得从低分辨率（LR）输入的高分辨率（HR）输出，在此期间应该添加额外的高频信息以改善感知质量。现有的SISR工作主要通过最小化平均平方重建误差来在空间域中运行。尽管高峰峰值信噪比（PSNR）结果，但难以确定模型是否正确地添加所需的高频细节。提出了一些基于基于残余的结构，以指导模型暗示高频率特征。然而，由于空间域度量的解释是有限的，如何验证这些人为细节的保真度仍然是一个问题。在本文中，我们提出了频率域视角来的直观管道，解决了这个问题。由现有频域的工作启发，我们将图像转换为离散余弦变换（DCT）块，然后改革它们以获取DCT功能映射，它用作我们模型的输入和目标。设计了专门的管道，我们进一步提出了符合频域任务的性质的频率损失功能。我们的SISR方法在频域中可以明确地学习高频信息，为SR图像提供保真度和良好的感知质量。我们进一步观察到我们的模型可以与其他空间超分辨率模型合并，以提高原始SR输出的质量。

Convolutional neural network (CNN) depth is of crucial importance for image super-resolution (SR). However, we observe that deeper networks for image SR are more difficult to train. The lowresolution inputs and features contain abundant low-frequency information, which is treated equally across channels, hence hindering the representational ability of CNNs. To solve these problems, we propose the very deep residual channel attention networks (RCAN). Specifically, we propose a residual in residual (RIR) structure to form very deep network, which consists of several residual groups with long skip connections. Each residual group contains some residual blocks with short skip connections. Meanwhile, RIR allows abundant low-frequency information to be bypassed through multiple skip connections, making the main network focus on learning high-frequency information. Furthermore, we propose a channel attention mechanism to adaptively rescale channel-wise features by considering interdependencies among channels. Extensive experiments show that our RCAN achieves better accuracy and visual improvements against state-of-the-art methods.

深度映射记录场景中的视点和对象之间的距离，这在许多真实应用程序中起着关键作用。然而，消费者级RGB-D相机捕获的深度图遭受了低空间分辨率。引导深度地图超分辨率（DSR）是解决此问题的流行方法，该方法试图从输入的低分辨率（LR）深度及其耦合的HR RGB图像中恢复高分辨率（HR）深度映射和作为指引。引导DSR最具挑战性的问题是如何正确选择一致的结构并传播它们，并正确处理不一致的结构。在本文中，我们提出了一种用于引导DSR的新型关注的分层多模态融合（AHMF）网络。具体地，为了有效地提取和组合来自LR深度和HR引导的相关信息，我们提出了一种基于多模态注意力的融合（MMAF）策略，包括分层卷积层，包括特征增强块，以选择有价值的功能和特征重新校准块来统一不同外观特征的方式的相似性度量。此外，我们提出了一个双向分层特征协作（BHFC）模块，以完全利用多尺度特征之间的低级空间信息和高级结构信息。实验结果表明，在重建精度，运行速度和记忆效率方面，我们的方法优于最先进的方法。

盲目图像超分辨率（SR）是CV的长期任务，旨在恢复患有未知和复杂扭曲的低分辨率图像。最近的工作主要集中在采用更复杂的退化模型来模拟真实世界的降级。由此产生的模型在感知损失和产量感知令人信服的结果取得了突破性。然而，电流生成的对抗性网络结构所带来的限制仍然是显着的：处理像素同样地导致图像的结构特征的无知，并且导致性能缺点，例如扭曲线和背景过度锐化或模糊。在本文中，我们提出了A-ESRAN，用于盲人SR任务的GAN模型，其特色是基于U-NET的U-NET的多尺度鉴别器，可以与其他发电机无缝集成。据我们所知，这是第一项介绍U-Net结构作为GaN解决盲人问题的鉴别者的工作。本文还给出了对模型的多规模注意力突破的机制的解释。通过对现有作品的比较实验，我们的模型在非参考自然图像质量评估员度量上提出了最先进的水平性能。我们的消融研究表明，利用我们的鉴别器，基于RRDB的发电机可以利用多种尺度中图像的结构特征，因此与先前作品相比，更加感知地产生了感知的高分辨率图像。

联合超分辨率和反音调映射（SR-ITM）旨在提高具有分辨率和动态范围具有质量缺陷的视频的视觉质量。当使用4K高动态范围（HDR）电视来观看低分辨率标准动态范围（LR SDR）视频时，就会出现此问题。以前依赖于学习本地信息的方法通常在保留颜色合规性和远程结构相似性方面做得很好，从而导致了不自然的色彩过渡和纹理伪像。为了应对这些挑战，我们建议联合SR-ITM的全球先验指导的调制网络（GPGMNET）。特别是，我们设计了一个全球先验提取模块（GPEM），以提取颜色合规性和结构相似性，分别对ITM和SR任务有益。为了进一步利用全球先验并保留空间信息，我们使用一些用于中间特征调制的参数，设计多个全球先验的指导空间调制块（GSMB），其中调制参数由共享的全局先验和空间特征生成来自空间金字塔卷积块（SPCB）的地图。通过这些精心设计的设计，GPGMNET可以通过较低的计算复杂性实现更高的视觉质量。广泛的实验表明，我们提出的GPGMNET优于最新方法。具体而言，我们提出的模型在PSNR中超过了0.64 dB的最新模型，其中69 $ \％$ $ $较少，3.1 $ \ times $ speedup。该代码将很快发布。

卷积神经网络在过去十年中允许在单个图像超分辨率（SISR）中的显着进展。在SISR最近的进展中，关注机制对于高性能SR模型至关重要。但是，注意机制仍然不清楚为什么它在SISR中的工作原理。在这项工作中，我们试图量化和可视化SISR中的注意力机制，并表明并非所有关注模块都同样有益。然后，我们提出了关注网络（A $ ^ 2 $ n）的注意力，以获得更高效和准确的SISR。具体来说，$ ^ 2 $ n包括非关注分支和耦合注意力分支。提出了一种动态注意力模块，为这两个分支产生权重，以动态地抑制不需要的注意力调整，其中权重根据输入特征自适应地改变。这允许注意模块专门从事惩罚的有益实例，从而大大提高了注意力网络的能力，即几个参数开销。实验结果表明，我们的最终模型A $ ^ 2 $ n可以实现与类似尺寸的最先进网络相比的卓越的权衡性能。代码可以在https://github.com/haoyuc/a2n获得。

尽管基准数据集的成功，但大多数先进的面部超分辨率模型在真实情况下表现不佳，因为真实图像与合成训练对之间的显着域间隙。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一种用于野外面部超分辨率的新型域 - 自适应降级网络。该降级网络预测流场以及中间低分辨率图像。然后，通过翘曲中间图像来生成降级的对应物。利用捕获运动模糊的偏好，这种模型在保护原始图像和劣化之间保持身份一致性更好地执行。我们进一步提出了超分辨率网络的自我调节块。该块将输入图像作为条件术语，以有效地利用面部结构信息，从而消除了对显式前沿的依赖性，例如，面部地标或边界。我们的模型在Celeba和真实世界的面部数据集上实现了最先进的性能。前者展示了我们所提出的建筑的强大生成能力，而后者展示了现实世界中的良好的身份一致性和感知品质。

最近的深面幻觉方法显示出令人惊叹的超级分辨面部图像，甚至超过人类能力。但是，这些算法主要在非公共合成数据集上评估。因此，尚不清楚这些算法如何在公共面幻觉数据集上执行。同时，大多数现有数据集都不太考虑种族的分布，这使得在这些数据集上训练的面部幻觉方法偏向于某些特定种族。为了解决上述两个问题，在本文中，我们构建了一个公共种族多样化的面部数据集，Edface-Celeb-1M，并设计了面部幻觉的基准任务。我们的数据集包括170万张覆盖不同国家 /地区的照片，并具有平衡的种族组成。据我们所知，它是野外最大且公开的面部幻觉数据集。与该数据集相关联，本文还贡献了各种评估协议，并提供了全面的分析，以基于现有的最新方法。基准评估证明了最新算法的性能和局限性。
