• Abstract: Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR) task refers to learn a mapping from low-resolution images to the corresponding high-resolution ones. This task is known to be extremely difficult since it is an ill-posed problem. Recently, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have achieved state of the art performance on SISR. However, the images produced by CNNs do not contain fine details of the images. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) aim to solve this issue and recover sharp details. Nevertheless, GANs are notoriously difficult to train. Besides that, they generate artifacts in the high-resolution images. In this paper, we have proposed a method in which CNNs try to align images in different spaces rather than only the pixel space. Such a space is designed using convex optimization techniques. CNNs are encouraged to learn high-frequency components of the images as well as low-frequency components. We have shown that the proposed method can recover fine details of the images and it is stable in the training process.

  A class of attention-based network architectures, called transformer, has shown significant performance on natural language processing fields. In this paper, we design a novel attention linearly related to the resolution according to Taylor expansion, and based on this attention, a network called $T$-former is designed for image inpainting. Experiments on several benchmark datasets demonstrate that our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art accuracy while maintaining a relatively low number of parameters and computational complexity.

  Video super-resolution (VSR) aims to reconstruct a sequence of high-resolution (HR) images from their corresponding low-resolution (LR) versions. Traditionally, solving a VSR problem has been based on iterative algorithms that exploit prior knowledge on image formation and assumptions on the motion. Deep learning (DL) algorithms can efficiently learn spatial patterns from large collections of images. We propose a new VSR neural network based on unrolled optimization techniques and discuss its performance.
