RefVSR++: Exploiting Reference Inputs for Reference-based Video Super-resolution

Smartphones equipped with a multi-camera system comprising multiple cameras with different field-of-view (FoVs) are becoming more prevalent. These camera configurations are compatible with reference-based SR and video SR, which can be executed simultaneously while recording video on the device. Thus, combining these two SR methods can improve image quality. Recently, Lee et al. have presented such a method, RefVSR. In this paper, we consider how to optimally utilize the observations obtained, including input low-resolution (LR) video and reference (Ref) video. RefVSR extends conventional video SR quite simply, aggregating the LR and Ref inputs over time in a single bidirectional stream. However, considering the content difference between LR and Ref images due to their FoVs, we can derive the maximum information from the two image sequences by aggregating them independently in the temporal direction. Then, we propose an improved method, RefVSR++, which can aggregate two features in parallel in the temporal direction, one for aggregating the fused LR and Ref inputs and the other for Ref inputs over time. Furthermore, we equip RefVSR++ with enhanced mechanisms to align image features over time, which is the key to the success of video SR. We experimentally show that RefVSR++ outperforms RefVSR by over 1dB in PSNR, achieving the new state-of-the-art.
