• Abstract summary: We propose an efficient recurrent network with bidirectional interaction for ST-VSR. It first performs backward inference from future to past, and then follows forward inference to super-resolve intermediate frames. Our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in efficiency, and reduces calculation cost by about 22%.

• Abstract: Spatial-Temporal Video Super-Resolution (ST-VSR) technology generates high-quality videos with higher resolution and higher frame rates. Existing advanced methods accomplish ST-VSR tasks through the association of Spatial and Temporal video super-resolution (S-VSR and T-VSR). These methods require two alignments and fusions in S-VSR and T-VSR, which is obviously redundant and fails to sufficiently explore the information flow of consecutive spatial LR frames. Although bidirectional learning (future-to-past and past-to-future) was introduced to cover all input frames, the direct fusion of final predictions fails to sufficiently exploit intrinsic correlations of bidirectional motion learning and spatial information from all frames. We propose an effective yet efficient recurrent network with bidirectional interaction for ST-VSR, where only one alignment and fusion is needed. Specifically, it first performs backward inference from future to past, and then follows forward inference to super-resolve intermediate frames. The backward and forward inferences are assigned to learn structures and details to simplify the learning task with joint optimizations. Furthermore, a Hybrid Fusion Module (HFM) is designed to aggregate and distill information to refine spatial information and reconstruct high-quality video frames. Extensive experiments on two public datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in efficiency, and reduces calculation cost by about 22%.

  We describe a strong baseline for Arbitra-scale super-resolution (AVSR) We then introduce ST-AVSR by equipping our baseline with a multi-scale structural and textural prior computed from the pre-trained VGG network. Comprehensive experiments show that ST-AVSR significantly improves super-resolution quality, generalization ability, and inference speed over the state-of-theart.

  We propose a deformable attention network called STDAN for STVSR. First, we devise a long-short term feature (LSTFI) module, which is capable of abundant content from more neighboring input frames. Second, we put forward a spatial-temporal deformable feature aggregation (STDFA) module, in which spatial and temporal contexts are adaptively captured and aggregated.

  Space-time video super-resolution (ST-VSR) simultaneously increases the spatial resolution and frame rate for a given video. Existing methods typically suffer from difficulties in how to efficiently leverage information from a large range of neighboring frames. We propose a coarse-to-fine bidirectional recurrent neural network instead of using ConvLSTM to leverage knowledge between adjacent frames.
