• Abstract: Image super-resolution (SR) is a technique to recover lost high-frequency information in low-resolution (LR) images. Spatial-domain information has been widely exploited to implement image SR, so a new trend is to involve frequency-domain information in SR tasks. Besides, image SR is typically application-oriented and various computer vision tasks call for image arbitrary magnification. Therefore, in this paper, we study image features in the frequency domain to design a novel scale-arbitrary image SR network. First, we statistically analyze LR-HR image pairs of several datasets under different scale factors and find that the high-frequency spectra of different images under different scale factors suffer from different degrees of degradation, but the valid low-frequency spectra tend to be retained within a certain distribution range. Then, based on this finding, we devise an adaptive scale-aware feature division mechanism using deep reinforcement learning, which can accurately and adaptively divide the frequency spectrum into the low-frequency part to be retained and the high-frequency one to be recovered. Finally, we design a scale-aware feature recovery module to capture and fuse multi-level features for reconstructing the high-frequency spectrum at arbitrary scale factors. Extensive experiments on public datasets show the superiority of our method compared with state-of-the-art methods.

  Image super-resolution (SR) aims to reconstruct high-resolution (HR) images from their low-resolution (LR) counterparts. Current approaches to address SR tasks are either dedicated to extracting RGB image features or assuming similar degradation patterns. We propose a Contourlet refinement gate framework to restore infrared modal-specific features while preserving spectral distribution fidelity.

  Single image super-resolution(SISR) is an ill-posed problem that aims to obtain high-resolution (HR) output from low-resolution (LR) input. Despite the high peak signal-to-noise ratios(PSNR) results, it is difficult to determine whether the model correctly adds desired high-frequency details. We propose FreqNet, an intuitive pipeline from the frequency domain perspective, to solve this problem.

The low-frequency signals are used to avoid specific ghosting artifacts, while the high-frequency signals are used for preserving details.
