• Abstract: In the last few years, several deep learning models, especially Generative Adversarial Networks have received a lot of attention for the task of Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR). These methods focus on building an end-to-end framework, which produce a high resolution(SR) image from a given low resolution(LR) image in a single step to achieve state-of-the-art performance. This paper focuses on improving an existing deep-learning based method to perform Super-Resolution Microscopy in real-time using a standard GPU. For this, we first propose a tiling strategy, which takes advantage of parallelism provided by a GPU to speed up the network training process. Further, we suggest simple changes to the architecture of the generator and the discriminator of SRGAN. Subsequently, We compare the quality and the running time for the outputs produced by our model, opening its applications in different areas like low-end benchtop and even mobile microscopy. Finally, we explore the possibility of the trained network to produce High-Resolution HR outputs for different domains.

  Single image super-resolution (SISR) deals with a fundamental problem of upsampling a low-resolution (LR) image to its high-resolution (HR) version.

  We consider the single image super-resolution (SISR) problem, where a high-resolution (HR) image is generated based on a low-resolution (LR) input. Most methods along this line rely on a predefined single-LR-single-HR mapping, which is not flexible enough for the SISR task. We propose best-buddy GANs (Beby-GAN) for rich-detail SISR. Relaxing the immutable one-to-one constraint, we allow the estimated patches to dynamically seek the best supervision.

  This paper designs a training strategy named Pixel-level Self-Paced Learning (PSPL) to accelerate the convergence velocity of SISR models. PSPL imitating self-paced learning gives each pixel in the predicted SR image and its corresponding pixel in ground truth an attention weight, to guide the model to a better region in parameter space. Experiments proved that PSPL could speed up the training of SISR models, and prompt several existing models to obtain new better results.
