Patent for a Faster and More Efficient Way to Create High Definition Images
ECE Distinguished/Khoury Professor Yun Raymond Fu was awarded a patent for “System and method for image super-resolution.”
Abstract Source: USPTO
A system and corresponding method perform image super-resolution (SR). The system comprises an element-unshuffled downsampler and an image SR module. The image SR module performs image SR on a low-resolution (LR) representation of a high-resolution (HR) original image. The HR original image is at a higher resolution relative to a resolution of the LR representation. The image SR module produces a reconstructed version of the HR original image via the image SR performed. The image SR is based on element-unshuffled downsampling of the LR representation. The element-unshuffled downsampler performs the element-unshuffled downsampling. The image SR module outputs the reconstructed version produced. The system performs the image SR with fewer parameters and less computation cost relative to conventional image SR.
