在本文中，我们通过添加Laplacian Pyramid（LP）概念来开发Laplacian类似于类似的自动编码器（LPAE），以广泛用于分析信号处理中的图像。LPAE将图像分解为近似图像和编码器部分中的详细图像，然后尝试使用两个组件在解码器部分中重建原始图像。我们使用LPAE进行分类和超分辨率领域的实验。使用详细图像和较小尺寸的近似图像作为分类网络的输入，我们的LPAE使模型更轻。此外，我们表明连接分类网络的性能仍然很高。在超分辨率区域中，我们表明解码器部分通过设置类似于LP的结构来获得高质量的重建图像。因此，LPAE通过组合自动编码器的解码器和超分辨率网络来改善原始结果。

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。

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。

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.

Recent research on super-resolution has progressed with the development of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN). In particular, residual learning techniques exhibit improved performance. In this paper, we develop an enhanced deep super-resolution network (EDSR) with performance exceeding those of current state-of-the-art SR methods. The significant performance improvement of our model is due to optimization by removing unnecessary modules in conventional residual networks. The performance is further improved by expanding the model size while we stabilize the training procedure. We also propose a new multi-scale deep super-resolution system (MDSR) and training method, which can reconstruct high-resolution images of different upscaling factors in a single model. The proposed methods show superior performance over the state-of-the-art methods on benchmark datasets and prove its excellence by winning the NTIRE2017 Super-Resolution Challenge [26].

具有强大学习能力的CNN被广泛选择以解决超分辨率问题。但是，CNN依靠更深的网络体系结构来提高图像超分辨率的性能，这可能会增加计算成本。在本文中，我们提出了一个增强的超分辨率组CNN（ESRGCNN），具有浅层架构，通过完全融合了深层和宽的通道特征，以在单图超级分辨率中的不同通道的相关性提取更准确的低频信息（ SISR）。同样，ESRGCNN中的信号增强操作对于继承更长途上下文信息以解决长期依赖性也很有用。将自适应上采样操作收集到CNN中，以获得具有不同大小的低分辨率图像的图像超分辨率模型。广泛的实验报告说，我们的ESRGCNN在SISR中的SISR性能，复杂性，执行速度，图像质量评估和SISR的视觉效果方面超过了最先进的实验。代码可在https://github.com/hellloxiaotian/esrgcnn上找到。

Convolutional neural networks have recently demonstrated high-quality reconstruction for single-image superresolution. In this paper, we propose the Laplacian Pyramid Super-Resolution Network (LapSRN) to progressively reconstruct the sub-band residuals of high-resolution images. At each pyramid level, our model takes coarse-resolution feature maps as input, predicts the high-frequency residuals, and uses transposed convolutions for upsampling to the finer level. Our method does not require the bicubic interpolation as the pre-processing step and thus dramatically reduces the computational complexity. We train the proposed LapSRN with deep supervision using a robust Charbonnier loss function and achieve high-quality reconstruction. Furthermore, our network generates multi-scale predictions in one feed-forward pass through the progressive reconstruction, thereby facilitates resource-aware applications. Extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations on benchmark datasets show that the proposed algorithm performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods in terms of speed and accuracy.

与传统CS方法相比，基于深度学习（DL）的压缩传感（CS）已被应用于图像重建的更好性能。但是，大多数现有的DL方法都利用逐个块测量，每个测量块分别恢复，这引入了重建的有害阻塞效应。此外，这些方法的神经元接受场被设计为每一层的大小相同，这只能收集单尺度的空间信息，并对重建过程产生负面影响。本文提出了一个新的框架，称为CS测量和重建的多尺度扩张卷积神经网络（MSDCNN）。在测量期间，我们直接从训练有素的测量网络中获得所有测量，该测量网络采用了完全卷积结构，并通过输入图像与重建网络共同训练。它不必将其切成块，从而有效地避免了块效应。在重建期间，我们提出了多尺度特征提取（MFE）体系结构，以模仿人类视觉系统以捕获同一功能映射的多尺度特征，从而增强了框架的图像特征提取能力并提高了框架的性能并提高了框架的性能。影像重建。在MFE中，有多个并行卷积通道以获取多尺度特征信息。然后，将多尺度功能信息融合在一起，并以高质量重建原始图像。我们的实验结果表明，根据PSNR和SSIM，该提出的方法对最新方法的性能有利。

We present a highly accurate single-image superresolution (SR) method. Our method uses a very deep convolutional network inspired by VGG-net used for ImageNet classification [19]. We find increasing our network depth shows a significant improvement in accuracy. Our final model uses 20 weight layers. By cascading small filters many times in a deep network structure, contextual information over large image regions is exploited in an efficient way. With very deep networks, however, convergence speed becomes a critical issue during training. We propose a simple yet effective training procedure. We learn residuals only and use extremely high learning rates (10 4 times higher than SRCNN [6]) enabled by adjustable gradient clipping. Our proposed method performs better than existing methods in accuracy and visual improvements in our results are easily noticeable.

Single image super-resolution is the task of inferring a high-resolution image from a single low-resolution input. Traditionally, the performance of algorithms for this task is measured using pixel-wise reconstruction measures such as peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) which have been shown to correlate poorly with the human perception of image quality. As a result, algorithms minimizing these metrics tend to produce over-smoothed images that lack highfrequency textures and do not look natural despite yielding high PSNR values.We propose a novel application of automated texture synthesis in combination with a perceptual loss focusing on creating realistic textures rather than optimizing for a pixelaccurate reproduction of ground truth images during training. By using feed-forward fully convolutional neural networks in an adversarial training setting, we achieve a significant boost in image quality at high magnification ratios. Extensive experiments on a number of datasets show the effectiveness of our approach, yielding state-of-the-art results in both quantitative and qualitative benchmarks.

The feed-forward architectures of recently proposed deep super-resolution networks learn representations of low-resolution inputs, and the non-linear mapping from those to high-resolution output. However, this approach does not fully address the mutual dependencies of low-and high-resolution images. We propose Deep Back-Projection Networks (DBPN), that exploit iterative up-and downsampling layers, providing an error feedback mechanism for projection errors at each stage. We construct mutuallyconnected up-and down-sampling stages each of which represents different types of image degradation and highresolution components. We show that extending this idea to allow concatenation of features across up-and downsampling stages (Dense DBPN) allows us to reconstruct further improve super-resolution, yielding superior results and in particular establishing new state of the art results for large scaling factors such as 8× across multiple data sets.

图像分解是图像处理领域的关键主题。它可以从源图像中提取显着特征。我们提出了一种基于卷积神经网络的新图像分解方法。该方法可以应用于许多图像处理任务。在本文中，我们将图像分解网络应用于图像融合任务。我们输入红外图像和可见光图像，并将它们分解为三个高频特征图像和低频特征图像。使用特定的融合策略融合了两组特征图像，以获得融合特征图像。最后，重建功能图像以获得融合图像。与最先进的融合方法相比，该方法在主观和客观评估中都取得了更好的性能。

近年来，使用基于深入学习的架构的状态，在图像超分辨率的任务中有几个进步。先前发布的许多基于超分辨率的技术，需要高端和顶部的图形处理单元（GPU）来执行图像超分辨率。随着深度学习方法的进步越来越大，神经网络已经变得越来越多地计算饥饿。我们返回了一步，并专注于创建实时有效的解决方案。我们提出了一种在其内存足迹方面更快更小的架构。所提出的架构使用深度明智的可分离卷积来提取特征，并且它与其他超分辨率的GAN（生成对抗网络）进行接受，同时保持实时推断和低存储器占用。即使在带宽条件不佳，实时超分辨率也能够流式传输高分辨率介质内容。在维持准确性和延迟之间的有效权衡之间，我们能够生产可比较的性能模型，该性能模型是超分辨率GAN的大小的一个 - 八（1/8），并且计算的速度比超分辨率的GAN快74倍。

Reference-based image super-resolution (RefSR) is a promising SR branch and has shown great potential in overcoming the limitations of single image super-resolution. While previous state-of-the-art RefSR methods mainly focus on improving the efficacy and robustness of reference feature transfer, it is generally overlooked that a well reconstructed SR image should enable better SR reconstruction for its similar LR images when it is referred to as. Therefore, in this work, we propose a reciprocal learning framework that can appropriately leverage such a fact to reinforce the learning of a RefSR network. Besides, we deliberately design a progressive feature alignment and selection module for further improving the RefSR task. The newly proposed module aligns reference-input images at multi-scale feature spaces and performs reference-aware feature selection in a progressive manner, thus more precise reference features can be transferred into the input features and the network capability is enhanced. Our reciprocal learning paradigm is model-agnostic and it can be applied to arbitrary RefSR models. We empirically show that multiple recent state-of-the-art RefSR models can be consistently improved with our reciprocal learning paradigm. Furthermore, our proposed model together with the reciprocal learning strategy sets new state-of-the-art performances on multiple benchmarks.

作为一个严重的问题，近年来已经广泛研究了单图超分辨率（SISR）。 SISR的主要任务是恢复由退化程序引起的信息损失。根据Nyquist抽样理论，降解会导致混叠效应，并使低分辨率（LR）图像的正确纹理很难恢复。实际上，自然图像中相邻斑块之间存在相关性和自相似性。本文考虑了自相似性，并提出了一个分层图像超分辨率网络（HSRNET）来抑制混叠的影响。我们从优化的角度考虑SISR问题，并根据半季节分裂（HQS）方法提出了迭代解决方案模式。为了先验探索本地图像的质地，我们设计了一个分层探索块（HEB）并进行性增加了接受场。此外，设计多级空间注意力（MSA）是为了获得相邻特征的关系并增强了高频信息，这是视觉体验的关键作用。实验结果表明，与其他作品相比，HSRNET实现了更好的定量和视觉性能，并更有效地释放了别名。

We propose a deep learning method for single image superresolution (SR). Our method directly learns an end-to-end mapping between the low/high-resolution images. The mapping is represented as a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) [15] that takes the lowresolution image as the input and outputs the high-resolution one. We further show that traditional sparse-coding-based SR methods can also be viewed as a deep convolutional network. But unlike traditional methods that handle each component separately, our method jointly optimizes all layers. Our deep CNN has a lightweight structure, yet demonstrates state-of-the-art restoration quality, and achieves fast speed for practical on-line usage.

捕获场景的空间和角度信息的光场（LF）成像无疑是有利于许多应用。尽管已经提出了用于LF采集的各种技术，但是在角度和空间上实现的既仍然是技术挑战。本文，提出了一种基于学习的方法，其应用于3D末面图像（EPI）以重建高分辨率LF。通过2级超分辨率框架，所提出的方法有效地解决了各种LF超分辨率（SR）问题，即空间SR，Angular SR和角空间SR。虽然第一阶段向Up-Sample EPI体积提供灵活的选择，但是由新型EPI体积的细化网络（EVRN）组成的第二阶段，基本上提高了高分辨率EPI体积的质量。从7个发布的数据集的90个挑战合成和实际灯田场景的广泛评估表明，所提出的方法优于空间和角度超分辨率问题的大型延伸的最先进的方法，即平均值峰值信号到噪声比为2.0 dB，1.4 dB和3.14 dB的空间SR $ \ Times 2 $，Spatial SR $ \ Times 4 $和Angular SR。重建的4D光场展示了所有透视图像的平衡性能分布，与先前的作品相比，卓越的视觉质量。

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。

Image super-resolution is a common task on mobile and IoT devices, where one often needs to upscale and enhance low-resolution images and video frames. While numerous solutions have been proposed for this problem in the past, they are usually not compatible with low-power mobile NPUs having many computational and memory constraints. In this Mobile AI challenge, we address this problem and propose the participants to design an efficient quantized image super-resolution solution that can demonstrate a real-time performance on mobile NPUs. The participants were provided with the DIV2K dataset and trained INT8 models to do a high-quality 3X image upscaling. The runtime of all models was evaluated on the Synaptics VS680 Smart Home board with a dedicated edge NPU capable of accelerating quantized neural networks. All proposed solutions are fully compatible with the above NPU, demonstrating an up to 60 FPS rate when reconstructing Full HD resolution images. A detailed description of all models developed in the challenge is provided in this paper.
