• Abstract summary: Video super-resolution (SR) aims at generating a sequence of high-resolution (HR) frames with plausible and temporally consistent details from their low-resolution (LR) counterparts. Existing deep learning based methods commonly estimate optical flows between LR frames to provide temporal dependency. We propose an end-to-end video SR network to super-resolve both optical flows and images.

• Abstract: Video super-resolution (SR) aims at generating a sequence of high-resolution (HR) frames with plausible and temporally consistent details from their low-resolution (LR) counterparts. The key challenge for video SR lies in the effective exploitation of temporal dependency between consecutive frames. Existing deep learning based methods commonly estimate optical flows between LR frames to provide temporal dependency. However, the resolution conflict between LR optical flows and HR outputs hinders the recovery of fine details. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end video SR network to super-resolve both optical flows and images. Optical flow SR from LR frames provides accurate temporal dependency and ultimately improves video SR performance. Specifically, we first propose an optical flow reconstruction network (OFRnet) to infer HR optical flows in a coarse-to-fine manner. Then, motion compensation is performed using HR optical flows to encode temporal dependency. Finally, compensated LR inputs are fed to a super-resolution network (SRnet) to generate SR results. Extensive experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of HR optical flows for SR performance improvement. Comparative results on the Vid4 and DAVIS-10 datasets show that our network achieves the state-of-the-art performance.

  We propose an effective real-world VSR algorithm by leveraging the strength of pre-trained latent diffusion models. We exploit the temporal dynamics in LR videos to guide the diffusion process by optimizing the latent sampling path with a motion-guided loss. The proposed motion-guided latent diffusion based VSR algorithm achieves significantly better perceptual quality than state-of-the-arts on real-world VSR benchmark datasets.

  A simple solution is to split it into two sub-tasks: video frame (VFI) and video super-resolution (VSR) temporalsynthesis and spatial super-resolution are intra-related in this task. We propose a one-stage space-time video super-resolution framework, which directly synthesizes an HR slow-motion video from an LFR, LR video.
