基于参考的图像超分辨率（REFSR）旨在利用辅助参考（REF）图像为超溶解的低分辨率（LR）图像。最近，RefSR引起了极大的关注，因为它提供了超越单图SR的替代方法。但是，解决REFSR问题有两个关键的挑战：（i）当它们显着不同时，很难匹配LR和Ref图像之间的对应关系； （ii）如何将相关纹理从参考图像转移以补偿LR图像的细节非常具有挑战性。为了解决RefSR的这些问题，本文提出了一个可变形的注意变压器，即DATSR，具有多个尺度，每个尺度由纹理特征编码器（TFE）模块组成，基于参考的可变形注意（RDA）模块和残差功能聚合（RFA）模块。具体而言，TFE首先提取图像转换（例如，亮度）不敏感的LR和REF图像，RDA可以利用多个相关纹理来补偿更多的LR功能信息，而RFA最终汇总了LR功能和相关纹理，以获得更愉快的宜人的质地结果。广泛的实验表明，我们的DATSR在定量和质量上实现了基准数据集上的最新性能。

We study on image super-resolution (SR), which aims to recover realistic textures from a low-resolution (LR) image. Recent progress has been made by taking high-resolution images as references (Ref), so that relevant textures can be transferred to LR images. However, existing SR approaches neglect to use attention mechanisms to transfer high-resolution (HR) textures from Ref images, which limits these approaches in challenging cases. In this paper, we propose a novel Texture Transformer Network for Image Super-Resolution (TTSR), in which the LR and Ref images are formulated as queries and keys in a transformer, respectively. TTSR consists of four closely-related modules optimized for image generation tasks, including a learnable texture extractor by DNN, a relevance embedding module, a hard-attention module for texture transfer, and a softattention module for texture synthesis. Such a design encourages joint feature learning across LR and Ref images, in which deep feature correspondences can be discovered by attention, and thus accurate texture features can be transferred. The proposed texture transformer can be further stacked in a cross-scale way, which enables texture recovery from different levels (e.g., from 1× to 4× magnification). Extensive experiments show that TTSR achieves significant improvements over state-of-the-art approaches on both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.

Reference-based Super-Resolution (Ref-SR) has recently emerged as a promising paradigm to enhance a low-resolution (LR) input image or video by introducing an additional high-resolution (HR) reference image. Existing Ref-SR methods mostly rely on implicit correspondence matching to borrow HR textures from reference images to compensate for the information loss in input images. However, performing local transfer is difficult because of two gaps between input and reference images: the transformation gap (e.g., scale and rotation) and the resolution gap (e.g., HR and LR). To tackle these challenges, we propose C2-Matching in this work, which performs explicit robust matching crossing transformation and resolution. 1) To bridge the transformation gap, we propose a contrastive correspondence network, which learns transformation-robust correspondences using augmented views of the input image. 2) To address the resolution gap, we adopt teacher-student correlation distillation, which distills knowledge from the easier HR-HR matching to guide the more ambiguous LR-HR matching. 3) Finally, we design a dynamic aggregation module to address the potential misalignment issue between input images and reference images. In addition, to faithfully evaluate the performance of Reference-based Image Super-Resolution under a realistic setting, we contribute the Webly-Referenced SR (WR-SR) dataset, mimicking the practical usage scenario. We also extend C2-Matching to Reference-based Video Super-Resolution task, where an image taken in a similar scene serves as the HR reference image. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed C2-Matching significantly outperforms state of the arts on the standard CUFED5 benchmark and also boosts the performance of video SR by incorporating the C2-Matching component into Video SR pipelines.

基于参考的超分辨率（REFSR）在使用外部参考（REF）图像产生现实纹理方面取得了重大进展。然而，现有的REFSR方法可以获得与输入大小一起消耗二次计算资源的高质量对应匹配，限制其应用程序。此外，这些方法通常遭受低分辨率（LR）图像和REF图像之间的比例错位。在本文中，我们提出了一种加速的多尺度聚合网络（AMSA），用于基于参考的超分辨率，包括粗略嵌入式斑块（CFE-PACKPMATCH）和多尺度动态聚合（MSDA）模块。为了提高匹配效率，我们设计一种具有随机样本传播的新型嵌入式PACKMTH方案，其涉及具有渐近线性计算成本的端到端训练到输入大小。为了进一步降低计算成本和加速会聚，我们在构成CFE-PACKMATCH的嵌入式PACKMACTH上应用了粗略策略。为了完全利用跨多个尺度的参考信息并增强稳定性的稳定性，我们开发由动态聚合和多尺度聚合组成的MSDA模块。动态聚合通过动态聚合特征来纠正轻微比例的错位，并且多尺度聚合通过融合多尺度信息来为大规模错位带来鲁棒性。实验结果表明，该拟议的AMSA对定量和定性评估的最先进方法实现了卓越的性能。

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.

最新的多视图多媒体应用程序在高分辨率（HR）视觉体验与存储或带宽约束之间挣扎。因此，本文提出了一个多视图图像超分辨率（MVISR）任务。它旨在增加从同一场景捕获的多视图图像的分辨率。一种解决方案是将图像或视频超分辨率（SR）方法应用于低分辨率（LR）输入视图结果。但是，这些方法无法处理视图之间的大角度转换，并利用所有多视图图像中的信息。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了MVSRNET，该MVSRNET使用几何信息从所有LR多视图中提取尖锐的细节，以支持LR输入视图的SR。具体而言，MVSRNET中提出的几何感知参考合成模块使用几何信息和所有多视图LR图像来合成像素对齐的HR参考图像。然后，提出的动态高频搜索网络完全利用了SR参考图像中的高频纹理细节。关于几个基准测试的广泛实验表明，我们的方法在最新方法上有了显着改善。

Because of the necessity to obtain high-quality images with minimal radiation doses, such as in low-field magnetic resonance imaging, super-resolution reconstruction in medical imaging has become more popular (MRI). However, due to the complexity and high aesthetic requirements of medical imaging, image super-resolution reconstruction remains a difficult challenge. In this paper, we offer a deep learning-based strategy for reconstructing medical images from low resolutions utilizing Transformer and Generative Adversarial Networks (T-GAN). The integrated system can extract more precise texture information and focus more on important locations through global image matching after successfully inserting Transformer into the generative adversarial network for picture reconstruction. Furthermore, we weighted the combination of content loss, adversarial loss, and adversarial feature loss as the final multi-task loss function during the training of our proposed model T-GAN. In comparison to established measures like PSNR and SSIM, our suggested T-GAN achieves optimal performance and recovers more texture features in super-resolution reconstruction of MRI scanned images of the knees and belly.

在本文中，我们考虑了基于参考的超分辨率（REFSR）中的两个具有挑战性的问题，（i）如何选择适当的参考图像，以及（ii）如何以一种自我监督的方式学习真实世界RefSR。特别是，我们从双摄像头Zooms（SelfDZSR）观察到现实世界图像SR的新颖的自我监督学习方法。考虑到多台相机在现代智能手机中的普及，可以自然利用越来越多的缩放（远摄）图像作为指导较小的变焦（短对焦）图像的SR。此外，SelfDZSR学习了一个深层网络，以获得短对焦图像的SR结果，以具有与远摄图像相同的分辨率。为此，我们将远摄图像而不是其他高分辨率图像作为监督信息，然后从中选择中心贴片作为对相应的短对焦图像补丁的引用。为了减轻短对焦低分辨率（LR）图像和远摄地面真相（GT）图像之间未对准的影响，我们设计了辅助LR发电机，并将GT映射到辅助LR，同时保持空间位置不变。 。然后，可以利用辅助-LR通过建议的自适应空间变压器网络（ADASTN）将LR特征变形，并将REF特征与GT匹配。在测试过程中，可以直接部署SelfDZSR，以使用远摄映像的引用来超级解决整个短对焦图像。实验表明，我们的方法可以针对最先进的方法实现更好的定量和定性性能。代码可在https://github.com/cszhilu1998/selfdzsr上找到。

现实世界图像超分辨率（SR）的关键挑战是在低分辨率（LR）图像中恢复具有复杂未知降解（例如，下采样，噪声和压缩）的缺失细节。大多数以前的作品还原图像空间中的此类缺失细节。为了应对自然图像的高度多样性，他们要么依靠难以训练和容易训练和伪影的不稳定的甘体，要么诉诸于通常不可用的高分辨率（HR）图像中的明确参考。在这项工作中，我们提出了匹配SR（FEMASR）的功能，该功能在更紧凑的特征空间中恢复了现实的HR图像。与图像空间方法不同，我们的FEMASR通过将扭曲的LR图像{\ IT特征}与我们预读的HR先验中的无失真性HR对应物匹配来恢复HR图像，并解码匹配的功能以获得现实的HR图像。具体而言，我们的人力资源先验包含一个离散的特征代码簿及其相关的解码器，它们在使用量化的生成对抗网络（VQGAN）的HR图像上预估计。值得注意的是，我们在VQGAN中结合了一种新型的语义正则化，以提高重建图像的质量。对于功能匹配，我们首先提取由LR编码器组成的LR编码器的LR功能，然后遵循简单的最近邻居策略，将其与预读的代码簿匹配。特别是，我们为LR编码器配备了与解码器的残留快捷方式连接，这对于优化功能匹配损耗至关重要，还有助于补充可能的功能匹配错误。实验结果表明，我们的方法比以前的方法产生更现实的HR图像。代码以\ url {https://github.com/chaofengc/femasr}发布。

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.

Learning continuous image representations is recently gaining popularity for image super-resolution (SR) because of its ability to reconstruct high-resolution images with arbitrary scales from low-resolution inputs. Existing methods mostly ensemble nearby features to predict the new pixel at any queried coordinate in the SR image. Such a local ensemble suffers from some limitations: i) it has no learnable parameters and it neglects the similarity of the visual features; ii) it has a limited receptive field and cannot ensemble relevant features in a large field which are important in an image; iii) it inherently has a gap with real camera imaging since it only depends on the coordinate. To address these issues, this paper proposes a continuous implicit attention-in-attention network, called CiaoSR. We explicitly design an implicit attention network to learn the ensemble weights for the nearby local features. Furthermore, we embed a scale-aware attention in this implicit attention network to exploit additional non-local information. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate CiaoSR significantly outperforms the existing single image super resolution (SISR) methods with the same backbone. In addition, the proposed method also achieves the state-of-the-art performance on the arbitrary-scale SR task. The effectiveness of the method is also demonstrated on the real-world SR setting. More importantly, CiaoSR can be flexibly integrated into any backbone to improve the SR performance.

This paper explores the problem of reconstructing high-resolution light field (LF) images from hybrid lenses, including a high-resolution camera surrounded by multiple low-resolution cameras. The performance of existing methods is still limited, as they produce either blurry results on plain textured areas or distortions around depth discontinuous boundaries. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel end-to-end learning-based approach, which can comprehensively utilize the specific characteristics of the input from two complementary and parallel perspectives. Specifically, one module regresses a spatially consistent intermediate estimation by learning a deep multidimensional and cross-domain feature representation, while the other module warps another intermediate estimation, which maintains the high-frequency textures, by propagating the information of the high-resolution view. We finally leverage the advantages of the two intermediate estimations adaptively via the learned attention maps, leading to the final high-resolution LF image with satisfactory results on both plain textured areas and depth discontinuous boundaries. Besides, to promote the effectiveness of our method trained with simulated hybrid data on real hybrid data captured by a hybrid LF imaging system, we carefully design the network architecture and the training strategy. Extensive experiments on both real and simulated hybrid data demonstrate the significant superiority of our approach over state-of-the-art ones. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first end-to-end deep learning method for LF reconstruction from a real hybrid input. We believe our framework could potentially decrease the cost of high-resolution LF data acquisition and benefit LF data storage and transmission.

Video super-resolution (VSR) aiming to reconstruct a high-resolution (HR) video from its low-resolution (LR) counterpart has made tremendous progress in recent years. However, it remains challenging to deploy existing VSR methods to real-world data with complex degradations. On the one hand, there are few well-aligned real-world VSR datasets, especially with large super-resolution scale factors, which limits the development of real-world VSR tasks. On the other hand, alignment algorithms in existing VSR methods perform poorly for real-world videos, leading to unsatisfactory results. As an attempt to address the aforementioned issues, we build a real-world 4 VSR dataset, namely MVSR4$\times$, where low- and high-resolution videos are captured with different focal length lenses of a smartphone, respectively. Moreover, we propose an effective alignment method for real-world VSR, namely EAVSR. EAVSR takes the proposed multi-layer adaptive spatial transform network (MultiAdaSTN) to refine the offsets provided by the pre-trained optical flow estimation network. Experimental results on RealVSR and MVSR4$\times$ datasets show the effectiveness and practicality of our method, and we achieve state-of-the-art performance in real-world VSR task. The dataset and code will be publicly available.

Real-world image super-resolution (RISR) has received increased focus for improving the quality of SR images under unknown complex degradation. Existing methods rely on the heavy SR models to enhance low-resolution (LR) images of different degradation levels, which significantly restricts their practical deployments on resource-limited devices. In this paper, we propose a novel Dynamic Channel Splitting scheme for efficient Real-world Image Super-Resolution, termed DCS-RISR. Specifically, we first introduce the light degradation prediction network to regress the degradation vector to simulate the real-world degradations, upon which the channel splitting vector is generated as the input for an efficient SR model. Then, a learnable octave convolution block is proposed to adaptively decide the channel splitting scale for low- and high-frequency features at each block, reducing computation overhead and memory cost by offering the large scale to low-frequency features and the small scale to the high ones. To further improve the RISR performance, Non-local regularization is employed to supplement the knowledge of patches from LR and HR subspace with free-computation inference. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of DCS-RISR on different benchmark datasets. Our DCS-RISR not only achieves the best trade-off between computation/parameter and PSNR/SSIM metric, and also effectively handles real-world images with different degradation levels.

在本文中，我们提出了D2C-SR，这是一个新颖的框架，用于实现现实世界图像超级分辨率的任务。作为一个不适的问题，超分辨率相关任务的关键挑战是给定的低分辨率输入可能会有多个预测。大多数基于经典的深度学习方法都忽略了基本事实，缺乏对基础高频分布的明确建模，从而导致结果模糊。最近，一些基于GAN或学习的超分辨率空间的方法可以生成模拟纹理，但不能保证具有低定量性能的纹理的准确性。重新思考这两者，我们以离散形式了解了基本高频细节的分布，并提出了两阶段的管道：分歧阶段到收敛阶段。在发散阶段，我们提出了一个基于树的结构深网作为差异骨干。提出了发散损失，以鼓励基于树的网络产生的结果，以分解可能的高频表示，这是我们对基本高频分布进行离散建模的方式。在收敛阶段，我们分配空间权重以融合这些不同的预测，以获得更准确的细节，以获取最终输出。我们的方法为推理提供了方便的端到端方式。我们对几个现实世界基准进行评估，包括具有X8缩放系数的新提出的D2CrealSR数据集。我们的实验表明，D2C-SR针对最先进的方法实现了更好的准确性和视觉改进，参数编号明显较少，并且我们的D2C结构也可以作为广义结构应用于其他一些方法以获得改进。我们的代码和数据集可在https://github.com/megvii-research/d2c-sr上找到

突发超级分辨率（SR）提供了从低质量图像恢复丰富细节的可能性。然而，由于实际应用中的低分辨率（LR）图像具有多种复杂和未知的降级，所以现有的非盲（例如，双臂）设计的网络通常导致恢复高分辨率（HR）图像的严重性能下降。此外，处理多重未对准的嘈杂的原始输入也是具有挑战性的。在本文中，我们解决了从现代手持设备获取的原始突发序列重建HR图像的问题。中央观点是一个内核引导策略，可以用两个步骤解决突发SR：内核建模和HR恢复。前者估计来自原始输入的突发内核，而后者基于估计的内核预测超分辨图像。此外，我们引入了内核感知可变形对准模块，其可以通过考虑模糊的前沿而有效地对准原始图像。对综合和现实世界数据集的广泛实验表明，所提出的方法可以在爆发SR问题中对最先进的性能进行。

Reference-based Super-resolution (RefSR) approaches have recently been proposed to overcome the ill-posed problem of image super-resolution by providing additional information from a high-resolution image. Multi-reference super-resolution extends this approach by allowing more information to be incorporated. This paper proposes a 2-step-weighting posterior fusion approach to combine the outputs of RefSR models with multiple references. Extensive experiments on the CUFED5 dataset demonstrate that the proposed methods can be applied to various state-of-the-art RefSR models to get a consistent improvement in image quality.

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.

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。

近年来，压缩图像超分辨率已引起了极大的关注，其中图像被压缩伪像和低分辨率伪影降解。由于复杂的杂化扭曲变形，因此很难通过简单的超分辨率和压缩伪像消除掉的简单合作来恢复扭曲的图像。在本文中，我们向前迈出了一步，提出了层次的SWIN变压器（HST）网络，以恢复低分辨率压缩图像，该图像共同捕获分层特征表示并分别用SWIN Transformer增强每个尺度表示。此外，我们发现具有超分辨率（SR）任务的预处理对于压缩图像超分辨率至关重要。为了探索不同的SR预审查的影响，我们将常用的SR任务（例如，比科比奇和不同的实际超分辨率仿真）作为我们的预处理任务，并揭示了SR在压缩的图像超分辨率中起不可替代的作用。随着HST和预训练的合作，我们的HST在AIM 2022挑战中获得了低质量压缩图像超分辨率轨道的第五名，PSNR为23.51db。广泛的实验和消融研究已经验证了我们提出的方法的有效性。
