초록

최근 단일 영상 초해상도에 깊은 합성 곱 신경망을 적용한 알고리듬이 많이 연구되었다. 현존하는 딥러닝 기반 초해상도 기법들은 네트워크의 후반부에 해상도를 업샘플링 하는 구조를 가진다. 이러한 구조는 저해상도에서 고해상도로 한 번에 매핑을 하기에 많은 정보를 예측하는 높은 확대율에서 비효율적인 구조를 가진다. 본 논문에서는 반복적인 업-다운 샘플링 구조를 기반으로 하여 채널 집중 잔여 밀집 블록을 이용한 단일 영상 초해상도 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리듬은 저해상도와 고해상도의 매핑 관계를 효율적으로 예측하여 높은 확대율에서 기존의 알고리듬에 비해 최대 0.14dB 성능 향상과 개선된 주관적 화질을 보여준다.

Recently, many deep convolutional neural networks for image super-resolution have been studied. Existing deep learning-based super-resolution algorithms are architecture that up-samples the resolution at the end of the network. The post-upsampling architecture has an inefficient structure at large scaling factor result of predicting a lot of information for mapping from low-resolution to high-resolution at once. In this paper, we propose a single image super-resolution using Channel Attention Residual Dense Block based on an iterative up-down sampling architecture. The proposed algorithm efficiently predicts the mapping relationship between low-resolution and high-resolution, and shows up to 0.14dB performance improvement and enhanced subjective image quality compared to the existing algorithm at large scaling factor result.
