A comparative study on super resolution with deep learning

Abstract

Deep learning architectures are applied in the solution of many problems and give very successful results compared to other methods. One of these problems is the Super Resolution problem. In this study, we tried to solve the problem of super resolution by using different deep learning architectures to obtain higher resolution images. The models used in this study are focused on the images scaled up by factors of 2, 3 and 4. As a result of the experimental studies, the model success is increased as the network depth and samples are increased. Instead of a shallow model with more number of parameters, a deep model with lower number of parameters offers more successful results.
