Single image super-resolution based on mapping-vector clustering and nonlinear pixel-reconstruction

作者:

Highlights:

• To obtain more reasonable sample sets for mapping-learning, we classify external samples by clustering the mapping-vector of LR-HR patch pairs based on fractional-norm.

• A decision-tree branched by lightweight networks is learned to choose one reasonable class for each testing LR patch.

• In our mapping-learning stage, pixel-wise nonlinear mappings are represented as several full connected networks, which can provide satisfying generalization ability for LR patch reconstruction.
