• Abstract: Blind video super-resolution (BVSR) is a low-level vision task which aims to generate high-resolution videos from low-resolution counterparts in unknown degradation scenarios. Existing approaches typically predict blur kernels that are spatially invariant in each video frame or even the entire video. These methods do not consider potential spatio-temporal varying degradations in videos, resulting in suboptimal BVSR performance. In this context, we propose a novel BVSR model based on Implicit Kernels, BVSR-IK, which constructs a multi-scale kernel dictionary parameterized by implicit neural representations. It also employs a newly designed recurrent Transformer to predict the coefficient weights for accurate filtering in both frame correction and feature alignment. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed BVSR-IK, when compared with four state-of-the-art BVSR models on three commonly used datasets, with BVSR-IK outperforming the second best approach, FMA-Net, by up to 0.59 dB in PSNR.

  Video Super-Resolution (VSR) reconstructs high-resolution videos from low-resolution inputs to restore fine details and improve visual clarity. Deep learning-based VSR methods achieve impressive results, but their centralized nature raises serious privacy concerns. We propose FedVSR1, a novel, architecture-independent, and stateless FL framework for VSR.

  This paper proposes a practical Blind SVSR algorithm (BSVSR) to explore more sharp cues by considering the pixel-wise blur levels in a coarse-to-fine manner. We employ multi-scale deformable convolution to coarsely aggregate the temporal redundancy into adjacent frames by window-slid progressive fusion. We devise a pyramid spatial transformation module to adjust the solution space of sharp mid-feature, resulting in flexible feature adaptation in multi-level domains.
