One of the biggest challenges is how to recover finer texture details when super-resolution is applied at large upscaling factors. A typical solution to SISR involves using a convolutional neural network (CNN), however new approaches using a generative adversarial network (GAN) are now also popular. The behavior of optimization-based super-resolution methods is principally driven by the choice of the objective function. In this work, we present an evaluation of SRResNet and SRGAN. SRResNet is a deep residual network and SRGAN is a generative adversarial network for image super-resolution (SR). SRResNet is able to recover reasonable quality photo-realistic textures from heavily downsampled images. SRGAN is capable of inferring photo-realistic natural images with high upscaling factors. This is achieved using a perceptual loss function which consists of an adversarial loss and a content loss. The adversarial loss pushes the solution to the natural image manifold using a discriminator network that is trained to differentiate between the super-resolved images and original photo-realistic images. The content loss is motivated by perceptual similarity instead of similarity in pixel space.<\/p>\n<p>Download the entire article:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sling.si?wpdmdl=16482&amp;ind=1726233115836\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"fy-content-image fy-lazy js-lazy alignnone\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20width%3D%2280%22%20height%3D%2280%22%20xmlns%3D%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%2080%2080%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Download the entire article\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sling.si\/wp-content\/plugins\/download-manager\/assets\/file-type-icons\/resume-download.png\"><div class=\"fy-image-loading fy-image-loading--spinner\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Author: Sebastien Strban; University of Ljubljana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many breakthroughs in speed and accuracy of single image super-resolution (SISR) have been achieved.
