• Authors: Gang Wu, Junjun Jiang, Kui Jiang, Xianming Liu,
• Abstract summary: This paper introduces a novel self-supervised constraint for single image super-resolution, termed SSC-SR. SSC-SR uniquely addresses the divergence in image complexity by employing a dual asymmetric paradigm and a target model updated via exponential moving average to enhance stability. Empirical evaluations reveal that our SSC-SR framework delivers substantial enhancements on a variety of benchmark datasets, achieving an average increase of 0.1 dB over EDSR and 0.06 dB over SwinIR.

• Abstract: Recent advances in self-supervised learning, predominantly studied in high-level visual tasks, have been explored in low-level image processing. This paper introduces a novel self-supervised constraint for single image super-resolution, termed SSC-SR. SSC-SR uniquely addresses the divergence in image complexity by employing a dual asymmetric paradigm and a target model updated via exponential moving average to enhance stability. The proposed SSC-SR framework works as a plug-and-play paradigm and can be easily applied to existing SR models. Empirical evaluations reveal that our SSC-SR framework delivers substantial enhancements on a variety of benchmark datasets, achieving an average increase of 0.1 dB over EDSR and 0.06 dB over SwinIR. In addition, extensive ablation studies corroborate the effectiveness of each constituent in our SSC-SR framework. Codes are available at https://github.com/Aitical/SSCSR.

  We present a novel ISR algorithm that is independent of the image dataset to learn the ISR task. We introduce Deep Identity Learning, exploiting the identity relation between the degradation and inverse degradation models. The proposed NSSR-DIL model requires fewer computational resources, at least by an order of 10, and demonstrates a competitive performance on benchmark ISR datasets.

  We introduce AnySR, to rebuild existing arbitrary-scale SR methods into any-scale, any-resource implementation. Our AnySR innovates in: 1) building arbitrary-scale tasks as any-resource implementation, reducing resource requirements for smaller scales without additional parameters; 2) enhancing any-scale performance in a feature-interweaving fashion. Results show that our AnySR implements SISR tasks in a computing-more-efficient fashion, and performs on par with existing arbitrary-scale SISR methods.

• ICF-SRSR: Invertible scale-Conditional Function for Self-Supervised Real-world Single Image Super-Resolution [60.90817228730133]
  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.

  This paper proposes a continuous implicit attention-in-attention network, called CiaoSR. We explicitly design an implicit attention network to learn the ensemble weights for the nearby local features. We embed a scale-aware attention in this implicit attention network to exploit additional non-local information.

  We propose a reciprocal learning framework to reinforce the learning of a RefSR network. The newly proposed module aligns reference-input images at multi-scale feature spaces and performs reference-aware feature selection. We empirically show that multiple recent state-of-the-art RefSR models can be consistently improved with our reciprocal learning paradigm.
