Deep Laplacian Pyramid Networks for Fast and Accurate Super-Resolution
Convolutional neural networks have recently demonstrated high-quality
reconstruction for single-image super-resolution. In this paper, we propose the
Laplacian Pyramid Super-Resolution Network (LapSRN) to progressively
reconstruct the sub-band residuals of high-resolution images. At each pyramid
level, our model takes coarse-resolution feature maps as input, predicts the
high-frequency residuals, and uses transposed convolutions for upsampling to
the finer level. Our method does not require the bicubic interpolation as the
pre-processing step and thus dramatically reduces the computational complexity.
We train the proposed LapSRN with deep supervision using a robust Charbonnier
loss function and achieve high-quality reconstruction. Furthermore, our network
generates multi-scale predictions in one feed-forward pass through the
progressive reconstruction, thereby facilitates resource-aware applications.
Extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations on benchmark datasets show
that the proposed algorithm performs favorably against the state-of-the-art
methods in terms of speed and accuracy.Comment: This work is accepted in CVPR 2017. The code and datasets are
