Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) An acceleration method for interpolation-based super resolutionmethods using convolutional neural networks, represented by SRCNN andVDSR is proposed in this article. In the proposed method, estimatedpixels are classified into some types and then high resolution imagesare directly generated from low resolution ones by using optimizedconvolutional neural networks for each type. It allows us to adaptsmaller filter sizes to convolutional neural networks thanconventional ones, so that the computational complexity can bereduced. A number of experiments are carried out to demonstrate thatthe proposed method can be applied to various interpolation-basedsuper resolution methods using convolutional neural networks. Theeffectiveness of the proposed method for multiple upscale factors isalso confirmed. In addition, the proposed method outperformsconventional ones in terms of the quality of estimated images under some conditions.
