• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: The present State-of-the-Art (SotA) Image Super-Resolution (ISR) methods employ Deep Learning (DL) techniques using a large amount of image data. The primary limitation to extending the existing SotA ISR works for real-world instances is their computational and time complexities. In this paper, contrary to the existing methods, we present a novel and computationally efficient ISR algorithm that is independent of the image dataset to learn the ISR task. The proposed algorithm reformulates the ISR task from generating the Super-Resolved (SR) images to computing the inverse of the kernels that span the degradation space. We introduce Deep Identity Learning, exploiting the identity relation between the degradation and inverse degradation models. The proposed approach neither relies on the ISR dataset nor on a single input low-resolution (LR) image (like the self-supervised method i.e. ZSSR) to model the ISR task. Hence we term our model as Null-Shot Super-Resolution Using Deep Identity Learning (NSSR-DIL). 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. Another salient aspect of our proposition is that the NSSR-DIL framework detours retraining the model and remains the same for varying scale factors like X2, X3, and X4. This makes our highly efficient ISR model more suitable for real-world applications.

• One Model for Two Tasks: Cooperatively Recognizing and Recovering Low-Resolution Scene Text Images by Iterative Mutual Guidance [32.88048472109016]
  Scene text recognition (STR) from high-resolution (HR) images has been significantly successful, however text reading on low-resolution (LR) images is still challenging. Recently many scene text image super-resolution (STISR) models have been proposed to generate super-resolution (SR) images for the LR ones, then STR is done on the SR images, which thus boosts recognition performance. In this paper, we propose a novel method called IMAGE to effectively recognize and recover LR scene text images simultaneously.

  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.

• Exploiting Self-Supervised Constraints in Image Super-Resolution [72.35265021054471]
  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.

  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.
