A Deep Primal-Dual Network for Guided Depth Super-Resolution
In this paper we present a novel method to increase the spatial resolution of
depth images. We combine a deep fully convolutional network with a non-local
variational method in a deep primal-dual network. The joint network computes a
noise-free, high-resolution estimate from a noisy, low-resolution input depth
map. Additionally, a high-resolution intensity image is used to guide the
reconstruction in the network. By unrolling the optimization steps of a
first-order primal-dual algorithm and formulating it as a network, we can train
our joint method end-to-end. This not only enables us to learn the weights of
the fully convolutional network, but also to optimize all parameters of the
variational method and its optimization procedure. The training of such a deep
network requires a large dataset for supervision. Therefore, we generate
high-quality depth maps and corresponding color images with a physically based
renderer. In an exhaustive evaluation we show that our method outperforms the
state-of-the-art on multiple benchmarks.Comment: BMVC 201
Deep Learning for Single Image Super-Resolution: A Brief Review
Single image super-resolution (SISR) is a notoriously challenging ill-posed
problem, which aims to obtain a high-resolution (HR) output from one of its
low-resolution (LR) versions. To solve the SISR problem, recently powerful deep
learning algorithms have been employed and achieved the state-of-the-art
performance. In this survey, we review representative deep learning-based SISR
methods, and group them into two categories according to their major
contributions to two essential aspects of SISR: the exploration of efficient
neural network architectures for SISR, and the development of effective
optimization objectives for deep SISR learning. For each category, a baseline
is firstly established and several critical limitations of the baseline are
summarized. Then representative works on overcoming these limitations are
presented based on their original contents as well as our critical
understandings and analyses, and relevant comparisons are conducted from a
variety of perspectives. Finally we conclude this review with some vital
current challenges and future trends in SISR leveraging deep learning
algorithms.Comment: Accepted by IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (TMM
