Despite the breakthroughs in accuracy and speed of single image super-resolution using faster deeper convolutional neural networks, one central problem remains largely unsolved: how do we recover finer texture details when super-resolve at large upscaling factors? The behavior optimization-based methods is principally driven by choice objective function. Recent work has focused on minimizing mean squared reconstruction error. resulting estimates have high peak signal-to-noise ratios, but...
Recently, several models based on deep neural networks have achieved great success in terms of both reconstruction accuracy and computational performance for single image super-resolution. In these methods, the low resolution (LR) input is upscaled to high (HR) space using a filter, commonly bicubic interpolation, before reconstruction. This means that super-resolution (SR) operation performed HR space. We demonstrate this sub-optimal adds complexity. paper, we present first convolutional...
Convolutional neural networks have enabled accurate image super-resolution in real-time. However, recent attempts to benefit from temporal correlations video been limited naive or inefficient architectures. In this paper, we introduce spatio-temporal sub-pixel convolution that effectively exploit redundancies and improve reconstruction accuracy while maintaining real-time speed. Specifically, discuss the use of early fusion, slow fusion 3D convolutions for joint processing multiple...
We propose a new approach to the problem of optimizing autoencoders for lossy image compression. New media formats, changing hardware technology, as well diverse requirements and content types create need compression algorithms which are more flexible than existing codecs. Autoencoders have potential address this need, but difficult optimize directly due inherent non-differentiabilty loss. here show that minimal changes loss sufficient train deep competitive with JPEG 2000 outperforming...
We consider the problem of face swapping in images, where an input identity is transformed into a target while preserving pose, facial expression and lighting.

Image super-resolution (SR) is an underdetermined inverse problem, where a large number of plausible high-resolution images can explain the same downsampled image. Most current single image SR methods use empirical risk minimisation, often with pixel-wise mean squared error (MSE) loss. However, outputs from such tend to be blurry, over-smoothed and generally appear implausible. A more desirable approach would employ Maximum Posteriori (MAP) inference, preferring solutions that always have...

The most prominent problem associated with the deconvolution layer is presence of checkerboard artifacts in output images and dense labels. To combat this problem, smoothness constraints, post processing different architecture designs have been proposed. Odena et al. highlight three sources artifacts: overlap, random initialization loss functions. In note, we proposed an method for sub-pixel convolution known as NN resize. Compared to initialized schemes designed standard kernels, it free...
In this note, we want to focus on aspects related two questions most people asked us at CVPR about the network presented. Firstly, What is relationship between our proposed layer and deconvolution layer? And secondly, why are convolutions in low-resolution (LR) space a better choice? These key tried answer paper, but were not able go into as much depth clarity would have liked allowance. To these first discuss relationships forms of transposed convolution layer, sub-pixel convolutional...

Cardiac phenotypes, such as left ventricular (LV) mass, demonstrate high heritability although most genes associated with these complex traits remain unidentified. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have relied on conventional 2D cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) the gold-standard for phenotyping. However this technique is insensitive to regional variations in wall thickness which are often hypertrophy and require large cohorts reach significance. Here we test whether automated...
