• Abstract summary: Single image super-resolution (SISR) has experienced significant advancements, primarily driven by deep convolutional networks. Traditional networks are limited to upscaling images to a fixed scale, leading to the utilization of implicit neural functions for generating arbitrarily scaled images. We introduce a novel and efficient framework, the Mixture of Experts Implicit Super-Resolution (MoEISR), which enables super-resolution at arbitrary scales.

• Abstract: Single image super-resolution (SISR) has experienced significant advancements, primarily driven by deep convolutional networks. Traditional networks, however, are limited to upscaling images to a fixed scale, leading to the utilization of implicit neural functions for generating arbitrarily scaled images. Nevertheless, these methodologies have imposed substantial computational demands as they involve querying every target pixel to a single resource-intensive decoder. In this paper, we introduce a novel and efficient framework, the Mixture of Experts Implicit Super-Resolution (MoEISR), which enables super-resolution at arbitrary scales with significantly increased computational efficiency without sacrificing reconstruction quality. MoEISR dynamically allocates the most suitable decoding expert to each pixel using a lightweight mapper module, allowing experts with varying capacities to reconstruct pixels across regions with diverse complexities. Our experiments demonstrate that MoEISR successfully reduces up to 73% in floating point operations (FLOPs) while delivering comparable or superior peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR).
