The Deep Back-Projection Network (DBPN) introduces an architecture for single image super-resolution that employs iterative up and down-sampling stages to provide mutual error feedback. This method achieves state-of-the-art performance on various benchmarks, particularly for large upscaling factors, while maintaining model efficiency.

Key insights

  • Iterative up and down-sampling stages, inspired by classical back-projection, allow the network to learn complex relationships and refine features by projecting prediction errors.
  • Mutual feedback between low-resolution and high-resolution feature spaces through dedicated projection units is crucial for error correction and better reconstruction.
  • Dense connections within the projection units facilitate feature reuse and gradient flow, enhancing the network's representational power and allowing for deeper error correction.
