Abstract:

Blind single-image super-resolution refers to reconstructing the high-resolution image from a single low-resolution one with an unknown blur kernel, which is a severely ill-posed inverse problem. The additional information about the latent high-resolution image can be incorporated by adding the regularizer in order to recover or reconstruct reasonable high-frequency details for the low-resolution image. In this paper, we propose a blind super-resolution method based on the cross-scale low rank prior from a single low-resolution image, which alternates between updating the blur kernel and the high-resolution image by a jointly modeling approach. According to the self-similarity across the high-resolution image, the low-resolution image and its down-sampled image, we search for similar patches from the down-sampled image for the low-resolution patch, and group into a matrix the cross-scale similar image patches consisting of the parents of the low-resolution patch and its similar patches in the high-resolution reconstructed image and the low-resolution image respectively. Since the cross-scale similar patches in the low-resolution image provide potential details for reconstructing the high-resolution image patches, the low rank matrix approximation applied to the cross-scale similar patches enforces the reconstructed image to recover more high-frequency details and thus promotes the accuracy of the kernel estimation during the iteration. In addition, the low rank regularization elegantly indicates the non-local structure of data inherently robust to noise. Experimental results on real and simulated images show that the proposed method can accurately estimate the blur kernel and reconstruct high-resolution image with sharp edges and fine details, which outperforms the existing blind super-resolution methods based on unsupervised learning. © 2024 Chinese Institute of Electronics.
