论文摘要

在本文中,我们研究了一个实用的时空视频超分辨率(STVSR)问题,旨在从低型低分辨率的低分辨率模糊视频中生成高富含高分辨率的夏普视频。当使用低分辨率和低分辨率摄像头记录快速动态事件时,通常会发生这种问题,而被捕获的视频将遭受三个典型问题:i)运动模糊发生是由于曝光时间内的对象/摄像机运动而发生的; ii)当事件时间频率超过时间采样的奈奎斯特极限时,运动异叠是不可避免的; iii)由于空间采样率较低,因此丢失了高频细节。这些问题可以通过三个单独的子任务的级联来缓解,包括视频脱张,框架插值和超分辨率,但是,这将无法捕获视频序列之间的空间和时间相关性。为了解决这个问题,我们通过利用基于模型的方法和基于学习的方法来提出一个可解释的STVSR框架。具体而言,我们将STVSR作为一个联合视频脱张,框架插值和超分辨率问题,并以另一种方式将其作为两个子问题解决。对于第一个子问题,我们得出可解释的分析解决方案,并将其用作傅立叶数据变换层。然后,我们为第二个子问题提出了一个反复的视频增强层,以进一步恢复高频细节。广泛的实验证明了我们方法在定量指标和视觉质量方面的优越性。

In this paper, we study a practical space-time video super-resolution (STVSR) problem which aims at generating a high-framerate high-resolution sharp video from a low-framerate low-resolution blurry video. Such problem often occurs when recording a fast dynamic event with a low-framerate and low-resolution camera, and the captured video would suffer from three typical issues: i) motion blur occurs due to object/camera motions during exposure time; ii) motion aliasing is unavoidable when the event temporal frequency exceeds the Nyquist limit of temporal sampling; iii) high-frequency details are lost because of the low spatial sampling rate. These issues can be alleviated by a cascade of three separate sub-tasks, including video deblurring, frame interpolation, and super-resolution, which, however, would fail to capture the spatial and temporal correlations among video sequences. To address this, we propose an interpretable STVSR framework by leveraging both model-based and learning-based methods. Specifically, we formulate STVSR as a joint video deblurring, frame interpolation, and super-resolution problem, and solve it as two sub-problems in an alternate way. For the first sub-problem, we derive an interpretable analytical solution and use it as a Fourier data transform layer. Then, we propose a recurrent video enhancement layer for the second sub-problem to further recover high-frequency details. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method in terms of quantitative metrics and visual quality.
