Researchers at Tsinghua University developed the Dual-level Deformable Implicit Representation (DDIR) model for real-world scale arbitrary super-resolution. This work also introduces RealArbiSR, the first dataset for this task, enabling DDIR to produce high-fidelity high-resolution images from complex real-world low-resolution inputs at any desired magnification.

Key insights

  • Real-world image degradations introduce dual-level discrepancies: global photometric variations (image-level deformation) and localized RGB mismatches due to spatially variant kernels (pixel-level deformation).
  • Explicitly modeling these dual-level deformations within an implicit neural representation framework allows for accurate high-resolution reconstruction from real-world low-resolution images at arbitrary scales.
  • A dedicated dataset with real-world low-resolution/high-resolution pairs at both integer and non-integer arbitrary scales is crucial for training and evaluating models capable of robust generalization in practical applications.
