• Abstract: Learning-based methods for blind single image super resolution (SISR) conduct the restoration by a learned mapping between high-resolution (HR) images and their low-resolution (LR) counterparts degraded with arbitrary blur kernels. However, these methods mostly require an independent step to estimate the blur kernel, leading to error accumulation between steps. We propose an end-to-end learning framework for the blind SISR problem, which enables image restoration within a unified Bayesian framework with either full- or semi-supervision. The proposed method, namely SREMN, integrates learning techniques into the generalized expectation-maximization (GEM) algorithm and infers HR images from the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). Extensive experiments show the superiority of the proposed method with comparison to existing work and novelty in semi-supervised learning.

  We propose a novel SR method called MPF-Net that leverages multiple perceptual features of input images. Our method incorporates a Multi-Perception Feature Extraction (MPFE) module to extract diverse perceptual information. We also introduce a contrastive regularization term (CR) that improves the model's learning capability.

  Real-world image super-resolution is a practical image restoration problem that aims to obtain high-quality images from in-the-wild input. Deep learning-based methods have achieved promising restoration quality on real-world image super-resolution datasets. We propose Real-World image Super-Resolution by Exclusionary Dual-Learning (RWSR-EDL) to address the feature diversity in perceptual- and L1-based cooperative learning.

  We propose a deep reparametrization of the maximum a posteriori formulation commonly employed in multi-frame image restoration tasks.

In the proposed framework, degradation kernels and noises are adaptively modelled rather than explicitly specified. We also propose a high-frequency selective objective and an iterative supervision process to further boost the model SR reconstruction accuracy.
