Image super-resolution via a novel cascaded convolutional neural network framework

作者:

Highlights:

• Novel cascaded CNN framework is designed for the multi-scale image SR task with a single trained model.

• Multi-scale feature mapping is proposed to extract the inherent features via the low-resolution image.

• Parallel network architecture is designed to predict more feature maps.

• Comparison results indicate that the proposed framework achieves good image SR performance.
