Survey on Single-Image-Super-Resolution

Single-Image-Super-Resolution

A list of resources for example-based single image super-resolution, inspired by Awesome-deep-vision and Awesome Computer Vision .

Example-based methods

Early learning-based methods

[1] Freeman, William T and Pasztor, Egon C and Carmichael, Owen T, Learning low-level vision, IJCV, 2000. [Paper] (Freeman et al. first presented example-based or learning-based super-resolution framework - learn relationships between low-resolution image patches and its high-resolution counterparts.)

[2] Freeman, William T and Jones, Thouis R and Pasztor, Egon C, Example-based super-resolution, IEEE Computer graphics and Applications, 2002. [Paper]

[3] Chang, Hong and Yeung, Dit-Yan and Xiong, Yimin, Super-resolution through neighbor embedding, CVPR, 2004. [Paper][Code] (The idea that low-resolution patches and corresponding high-resolution patches share similar local geometries highly influences the subsequent coding-based or dictionary-based methods.)

Sparsity-based methods

[1] Yang, Jianchao and Wright, John and Huang, Thomas S and Ma, Yi, Image super-resolution via sparse representation, IEEE trans. image processing 2010. [paper] [Code] (SCSR: Classical sparsity-based SISR method - use sparse coding technique to learn low-resolution and high-resolution dictionaries.)

[2] Zeyde, Roman and Elad, Michael and Protter, Matan, On single image scale-up using sparse-representations, International conference on curves and surfaces, 2010. [Paper] [Code] (Low dimension feature speeds up the algorithm. Many sparsity-based image restoration techniques can be found in Prof. Elad's Website!)

Other good sparsity-based super-resolution methods can be found in Prof. Lei Zhang's and Weisheng Dong's Website!)
