A.IntroductiontoOvercompleteDictionary

Intraditionaldictionary-basedmethodsforSISR,anundercompletedictionaryisusedtomodelthehigh-resolutionimagepatches.However,anundercompletedictionarymaynotbeabletofullycapturethecomplexityanddiversityofnaturalimages,leadingtolimitedcapabilityinreconstructinghigh-resolutionimagesfromlow-resolutioninputs.

Anovercompletedictionary,ontheotherhand,hasmoreatomsthanthedimensionalityoftheinputspace,allowingforamoreflexibleandricherrepresentationofthedata.InSISR,overcompletedictionarieshavebeenshowntoachievesuperiorperformancecomparedtoundercompletedictionariesandothermethods.

Moreover,thelearnedovercompletedictionaryisspecificallyadaptedtothetrainingdata,capturingtheinherentstructuresandpatternsinnaturalimages,andthusresultsinhigher-qualityHRimagesthanotherSISRmethods.Theadaptivenatureofthedictionaryalsoallowsforbettergeneralizationtounseentestimages,asthedictionarycanadapttonewdata.

C.RobustnessIssuesinOvercompleteDictionary-basedSISR

Despitetheadvantagesofovercompletedictionary-basedmethods,theyarestillfacedwithseveralchallengesthatlimittheirrobustnessandpracticaluse.Themainissuesarerelatedtothesensitivitytonoiseandartifacts,andthepoorperformanceontexture-richregions.

ThesensitivitytonoiseandartifactsstemsfromthefactthattheoptimizationproblemforreconstructingHRimagesfromLRpatchesusingovercompletedictionariesmayamplifythenoiseandartifactsintheinputpatches,resultingindegradedHRimages.Inaddition,thesparserepresentationmaynotfullycapturethenoiseorartifactsintheLRpatchesduetotheirlowamplitude,leadingtoincompletereconstruction.

Thepoorperformanceontexture-richregionsisduetothefactthattheovercompletedictionarymaynotbeabletocapturethefine-scaletexturedetails,resultinginblurryHRimagesorartifacts.Thisissueismorepronouncedfordictionarieslearnedfromsmallorlimitedtrainingdatasets,astheymaynothaveenoughsamplestofullycapturethetexturevariations.

D.ImprovedRobustnessStrategies

Toaddresstherobustnessissuesinovercompletedictionary-basedSISR,severalstrategieshavebeenproposedintheliterature.Oneapproachistoincorporateregularizationorpriorsintotheoptimizationproblem,suchasTV(totalvariation)regularization,sparsecodingwithstructuredsparsity,orBayesianmethods.Regularizationorpriorscaneffectivelyreducethesensitivitytonoiseandartifacts,andimprovethequalityofthereconstructedHRimages.

Anotherapproachistoimprovethedictionarylearningprocessbyincorporatingmorediverseorrepresentativetrainingimages,orbyusingmoreadvanceddictionarylearningalgorithms,suchasK-SVDorMOD(methodofoptimaldirections).Therearealsomethodsthatusemultipledictionariesorpatch-baseddictionariestobettercapturethetexturedetailsorthelocalvariationsintheimage.

Finally,somemethodscombinedictionary-basedapproacheswithothertechniques,suchasinterpolation,reconstruction,ordeeplearning,toleveragethestrengthsofdifferentmethodsandachieveimprovedperformanceorrobustness.

本章將介紹本文提出的方法在四個公開數(shù)據(jù)集上的實驗結(jié)果，并與現(xiàn)有最先進的超分辨率方法進行了比較。我們使用的四個數(shù)據(jù)集包括Set5、Set14、BSDS100和Urban100。在每個數(shù)據(jù)集上，我們使用兩個評價指標：峰值信噪比（PSNR）和結(jié)構(gòu)相似性（SSIM）。本章還分析了不同方法的優(yōu)勢和不足之處。

A.實驗設(shè)置

我們將數(shù)據(jù)集分為兩個部分：用于訓練和用于測試的圖像集。在訓練數(shù)據(jù)集上，我們使用了91個標準圖像，并從每個圖像中隨機提取大小為33×33的LR和HR圖像對，每個圖像對的縮放因子為2、3和4。在測試數(shù)據(jù)集上，我們使用了四個公開數(shù)據(jù)集Set5、Set14、BSDS100和Urban100。對于每個數(shù)據(jù)集，我們用17個不同大小的圖像來進行測試。

我們實現(xiàn)的算法基于Python3.6和Pytorch1.5，在一臺具有IntelCorei78700KCPU、NVIDIAGeForceGTX1080TiGPU和32GB內(nèi)存的計算機上運行。

B.實驗結(jié)果

我們將我們的方法與幾種最先進的超分辨率方法進行了比較，包括SRCNN、VDSR、DRRN和MemNet。表1顯示了在Set5、Set14、BSDS100和Urban100數(shù)據(jù)集上使用不同超分辨率方法的PSNR和SSIM。所有算法均使用相同的測試圖像和相同的超分辨率因子。我們的方法在所有測試數(shù)據(jù)集上
