• Abstract: Recent methods for single image super-resolution (SISR) have demonstrated outstanding performance in generating high-resolution (HR) images from low-resolution (LR) images. However, most of these methods show their superiority using synthetically generated LR images, and their generalizability to real-world images is often not satisfactory. In this paper, we pay attention to two well-known strategies developed for robust super-resolution (SR), i.e., reference-based SR (RefSR) and zero-shot SR (ZSSR), and propose an integrated solution, called reference-based zero-shot SR (RZSR). Following the principle of ZSSR, we train an image-specific SR network at test time using training samples extracted only from the input image itself. To advance ZSSR, we obtain reference image patches with rich textures and high-frequency details which are also extracted only from the input image using cross-scale matching. To this end, we construct an internal reference dataset and retrieve reference image patches from the dataset using depth information. Using LR patches and their corresponding HR reference patches, we train a RefSR network that is embodied with a non-local attention module. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed RZSR compared to the previous ZSSR methods and robustness to unseen images compared to other fully supervised SISR methods.

  Recently, reference-based image super-resolution (RefSR) has shown excellent performance in image super-resolution (SR) tasks. We introduce a Domain Matching (DM) module that can be seamlessly integrated with existing RefSR models. Our analysis reveals that their domain gaps often occur in different satellites, and our model effectively addresses these challenges.

Experimental results on real-world image SR datasets indicate that SDFlow can generate diverse realistic LR and SR images both quantitatively and qualitatively.

  Single image super-resolution (SISR) is a challenging problem that aims to up-sample a given low-resolution (LR) image to a high-resolution (HR) counterpart. Recent approaches are trained on simulated LR images degraded by simplified down-sampling operators. We propose a novel Invertible scale-Conditional Function (ICF) which can scale an input image and then restore the original input with different scale conditions.

  An alternative solution called Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR) is a software-driven approach that aims to take a Low-Resolution (LR) image and obtain the HR image. We introduce a new triplet-based adversarial loss function that exploits the information provided in the LR image by using it as a negative sample. We propose to fuse the adversarial loss, content loss, perceptual loss, and quality loss to obtain Super-Resolution (SR) image with high perceptual fidelity.

We empirically show that multiple recent state-of-the-art RefSR models can be consistently improved with our reciprocal learning paradigm.
