• Abstract: In this paper, we study a practical space-time video super-resolution (STVSR) problem which aims at generating a high-framerate high-resolution sharp video from a low-framerate low-resolution blurry video. Such problem often occurs when recording a fast dynamic event with a low-framerate and low-resolution camera, and the captured video would suffer from three typical issues: i) motion blur occurs due to object/camera motions during exposure time; ii) motion aliasing is unavoidable when the event temporal frequency exceeds the Nyquist limit of temporal sampling; iii) high-frequency details are lost because of the low spatial sampling rate. These issues can be alleviated by a cascade of three separate sub-tasks, including video deblurring, frame interpolation, and super-resolution, which, however, would fail to capture the spatial and temporal correlations among video sequences. To address this, we propose an interpretable STVSR framework by leveraging both model-based and learning-based methods. Specifically, we formulate STVSR as a joint video deblurring, frame interpolation, and super-resolution problem, and solve it as two sub-problems in an alternate way. For the first sub-problem, we derive an interpretable analytical solution and use it as a Fourier data transform layer. Then, we propose a recurrent video enhancement layer for the second sub-problem to further recover high-frequency details. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method in terms of quantitative metrics and visual quality.

  Video deblurring aims to enhance the quality of restored results in motion-red videos by gathering information from adjacent video frames. We propose two modules: 1) Intra-frame feature enhancement operates within the exposure time of a single blurred frame, and 2) Inter-frame temporal feature alignment gathers valuable long-range temporal information to target frames. We demonstrate that our proposed methods outperform state-of-the-art frame-based and event-based motion deblurring methods through extensive experiments conducted on both synthetic and real-world deblurring datasets.

  We propose a novel approach, pursuing Spatial Adaptation and Temporal Coherence (SATeCo) for video super-resolution. SATeCo pivots on learning spatial-temporal guidance from low-resolution videos to calibrate both latent-space high-resolution video denoising and pixel-space video reconstruction. Experiments conducted on the REDS4 and Vid4 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

  High-resolution stereoscopic (H2-Stereo) video allows us to perceive dynamic 3D content fine. Existing methods provide compromised solutions that lack temporal or spatial details. We propose a dual camera system, in which one captures high-spatial-resolution low-frame-rate (HSR-LFR) videos with rich spatial details. We then devise a Learned Information Fusion network (LIFnet) that exploits the cross-camera redundancies to reconstruct the H2-Stereo video effectively.
