Super-resolving Compressed Images via Parallel and Series Integration of Artifact Reduction and Resolution Enhancement
Hongming Luo, Fei Zhou, Guangsen Liao, Guoping Qiu
In real-world applications, such as sharing photos on social media platforms, images are always not only sub-sampled but also heavily compressed thus often containing various artefacts. Simple methods for enhancing the resolution of such images will exacerbate the artefacts, rendering them visually objectionable. In spite of its high practical values, super-resolving compressed images is not well studied in the literature. In this paper, we propose a novel compressed image super resolution (CISR) framework based on parallel and series integration of artefacts removal and resolution enhancement. Based on a mathematical inference model for estimating a clean low-resolution (LR) image and a clean high-resolution (HR) image from a down-sampled and compressed observation, we have designed a CISR architecture consisting of two deep neural network modules: the artefacts removal module (ARM) and the resolution enhancement module (REM). The ARM and the REM work in parallel with both taking the compressed LR image as their inputs, at the same time they also work in series with the REM taking the output of the ARM as one of its inputs and the ARM taking the output of the REM as its other input. A technique called unfolding is introduced to recursively suppress the compression artefacts and restore the image resolution. A unique feature of our CISR system is that it exploits the parallel and series connections between the ARM and the REM, and recursive optimization to reduce the model's dependency on specific types of degradation thus making it possible to train a single model to super-resolve images compressed by different methods to different qualities.
