• Abstract: This paper introduces a novel benchmark as part of the AIS 2024 Real-Time Image Super-Resolution (RTSR) Challenge, which aims to upscale compressed images from 540p to 4K resolution (4x factor) in real-time on commercial GPUs. For this, we use a diverse test set containing a variety of 4K images ranging from digital art to gaming and photography. The images are compressed using the modern AVIF codec, instead of JPEG. All the proposed methods improve PSNR fidelity over Lanczos interpolation, and process images under 10ms. Out of the 160 participants, 25 teams submitted their code and models. The solutions present novel designs tailored for memory-efficiency and runtime on edge devices. This survey describes the best solutions for real-time SR of compressed high-resolution images.

  One crucial obstacle for large-scale applications is the expensive training and inference cost. In this paper, we argue that videos contain much more redundant information than images, thus can be encoded by very few motion latents. We train Reducio-DiT in around 3.2K training hours in total and generate a 16-frame 1024*1024 video clip within 15.5 seconds on a single A100 GPU.

  Super-resolution (SR) is a key technique for improving the visual quality of video content. To support real-time playback, it is important to implement fast SR models while preserving reconstruction quality. This paper proposes a low-complexity SR method, RTSR, designed to enhance the visual quality of compressed video content.

  Video super-resolution (VSR) is a critical task for enhancing low-bitrate and low-resolution videos, particularly in streaming applications. In this work, we compile different methods to address these challenges, the solutions are end-to-end real-time video super-resolution frameworks. The proposed solutions tackle video up-scaling for two applications: 540p to 4K (x4) as a general case, and 360p to 1080p (x3) more tailored towards mobile devices.

  We develop a novel method to simulate 4K hazy images from clear images, which first estimates the scene depth, simulates the light rays and object reflectance, then migrates the synthetic images to real domains by using a GAN. We wrap these synthesized images into a benchmark called the 4K-HAZE dataset. The most appealing aspect of our approach is the capability to run a 4K image on a single GPU with 24G RAM in real-time (33fps)
