Video Super-Resolution Reconstruction Based on Deep Learning and Spatio-Temporal Feature Self-similarity (Extended abstract).

Video super-resolution (SR) reconstruction technology aims at obtaining high quality reconstruction of high-resolution (HR) video sequences by inferring the lost detailed information from their low-resolution (LR) counterparts. However, this technology is an ill-posed problem because significant detailed information is lost in the process of video degrading. The existing learning-based SR reconstruction methods can be adapted to a larger super-resolution factor, but it cannot be guaranteed that any low-resolution image block can find its corresponding high-resolution block matching in a limited-scale training set. Some noise and over smooth phenomenon usually exist while dealing with some unique features that rarely appear in a given training data set. The self-similarity based SR methods do not rely on accurate sub-pixel motion estimation and thus can be adapted to complex motion patterns. However, under conditions of insufficient internal similar blocks, some visual flaws are usually produced due to the mismatched internal instances.
