• Title: High-Resolution Be Aware! Improving the Self-Supervised Real-World Super-Resolution
• Authors: Yuehan Zhang, Angela Yao,
• Abstract summary: Self-supervised learning is crucial for super-resolution because ground-truth images are usually unavailable for real-world settings. Existing methods derive self-supervision from low-resolution images by creating pseudo-pairs or by enforcing a low-resolution reconstruction objective. This paper strengthens awareness of the high-resolution image to improve the self-supervised real-world super-resolution.

• Abstract: Self-supervised learning is crucial for super-resolution because ground-truth images are usually unavailable for real-world settings. Existing methods derive self-supervision from low-resolution images by creating pseudo-pairs or by enforcing a low-resolution reconstruction objective. These methods struggle with insufficient modeling of real-world degradations and the lack of knowledge about high-resolution imagery, resulting in unnatural super-resolved results. This paper strengthens awareness of the high-resolution image to improve the self-supervised real-world super-resolution. We propose a controller to adjust the degradation modeling based on the quality of super-resolution results. We also introduce a novel feature-alignment regularizer that directly constrains the distribution of super-resolved images. Our method finetunes the off-the-shelf SR models for a target real-world domain. Experiments show that it produces natural super-resolved images with state-of-the-art perceptual performance.

  We introduce a novel two-stage, degradation-aware framework that enhances the diffusion model's ability to recognize content and degradation in low-resolution images. In the first stage, we employ unsupervised contrastive learning to obtain representations of image degradations. In the second stage, we integrate a degradation-aware module into a simplified ControlNet, enabling flexible adaptation to various degradations.

  We build a new real-world super-resolution benchmark with both integer and non-integer scaling factors.

  This paper introduces an Implicit Diffusion Model (IDM) for high-fidelity continuous image super-resolution. IDM integrates an implicit neural representation and a denoising diffusion model in a unified end-to-end framework. The scaling factor regulates the resolution and accordingly modulates the proportion of the LR information and generated features in the final output.

  Super-resolution is a well-known problem as most methods rely on the downsampling method performed on the high-resolution image to form the low-resolution image to be known. We will evaluate multiple state-of-the-art super-resolution methods and gauge their performance when presented with various types of real-life images. We will present a potential solution to alleviate the generalization problem which is imminent in most state-of-the-art super-resolution models.

  We revisit the classic example based image super-resolution approaches and come up with a novel generative model for perceptual image super-resolution. We propose a joint image denoising and super-resolution model via Variational AutoEncoder. With the aid of the discriminator, an additional overhead of super-resolution subnetwork is attached to super-resolve the denoised image with photo-realistic visual quality.
