Deep Blind Video Super-resolution

Abstract

Existing video super-resolution (SR) algorithms usually assume that the blur kernels in the degradation process are known and do not model the blur kernels in the restoration. However, this assumption does not hold for video SR and usually leads to over-smoothed super-resolved images. In this paper, we propose a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) model to solve video SR by a blur kernel modeling approach. The proposed deep CNN model consists of motion blur estimation, motion estimation, and latent image restoration modules. The motion blur estimation module is used to provide reliable blur kernels. With the estimated blur kernel, we develop an image deconvolution method based on the image formation model of video SR to generate intermediate latent images so that some sharp image contents can be restored well. However, the generated intermediate latent images may contain artifacts. To generate high-quality images, we use the motion estimation module to explore the information from adjacent frames, where the motion estimation can constrain the deep CNN model for better image restoration. We show that the proposed algorithm is able to generate clearer images with finer structural details. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs favorably against state-of-the-art methods.
