A common problem in the 4D reconstruction of people from multi-view video is the quality of the captured dynamic texture appearance which depends on both the camera resolution and capture volume. Typically the requirement to frame cameras to capture the volume of a dynamic performance ($>50m^3$) results in the person occupying only a small proportion $<$ 10% of the field of view. Even with ultra high-definition 4k video acquisition this results in sampling the person at less-than standard definition 0.5k video resolution resulting in low-quality rendering. In this paper we propose a solution to this problem through super-resolution appearance transfer from a static high-resolution appearance capture rig using digital stills cameras ($> 8k$) to capture the person in a small volume ($<8m^3$). A pipeline is proposed for super-resolution appearance transfer from high-resolution static capture to dynamic video performance capture to produce super-resolution dynamic textures. This addresses two key problems: colour mapping between different camera systems; and dynamic texture map super-resolution using a learnt model. Comparative evaluation demonstrates a significant qualitative and quantitative improvement in rendering the 4D performance capture with super-resolution dynamic texture appearance. The proposed approach reproduces the high-resolution detail of the static capture whilst maintaining the appearance dynamics of the captured video.

Due to the significant information loss in low-resolution (LR) images, it has become extremely challenging to further advance the state-of-the-art of single image super-resolution (SISR). Reference-based super-resolution (RefSR), on the other hand, h
as proven to be promising in recovering high-resolution (HR) details when a reference (Ref) image with similar content as that of the LR input is given. However, the quality of RefSR can degrade severely when Ref is less similar. This paper aims to unleash the potential of RefSR by leveraging more texture details from Ref images with stronger robustness even when irrelevant Ref images are provided. Inspired by the recent work on image stylization, we formulate the RefSR problem as neural texture transfer. We design an end-to-end deep model which enriches HR details by adaptively transferring the texture from Ref images according to their textural similarity. Instead of matching content in the raw pixel space as done by previous methods, our key contribution is a multi-level matching conducted in the neural space. This matching scheme facilitates multi-scale neural transfer that allows the model to benefit more from those semantically related Ref patches, and gracefully degrade to SISR performance on the least relevant Ref inputs. We build a benchmark dataset for the general research of RefSR, which contains Ref images paired with LR inputs with varying levels of similarity. Both quantitative and qualitative evaluations demonstrate the superiority of our method over state-of-the-art.
Although wireless capsule endoscopy is the preferred modality for diagnosis and assessment of small bowel diseases, the poor camera resolution is a substantial limitation for both subjective and automated diagnostics. Enhanced-resolution endoscopy ha
s shown to improve adenoma detection rate for conventional endoscopy and is likely to do the same for capsule endoscopy. In this work, we propose and quantitatively validate a novel framework to learn a mapping from low-to-high resolution endoscopic images. We combine conditional adversarial networks with a spatial attention block to improve the resolution by up to factors of 8x, 10x, 12x, respectively. Quantitative and qualitative studies performed demonstrate the superiority of EndoL2H over state-of-the-art deep super-resolution methods DBPN, RCAN and SRGAN. MOS tests performed by 30 gastroenterologists qualitatively assess and confirm the clinical relevance of the approach. EndoL2H is generally applicable to any endoscopic capsule system and has the potential to improve diagnosis and better harness computational approaches for polyp detection and characterization.

Classic image scaling (e.g. bicubic) can be seen as one convolutional layer and a single upscaling filter. Its implementation is ubiquitous in all display devices and image processing software. In the last decade deep learning systems have been intro
duced for the task of image super-resolution (SR), using several convolutional layers and numerous filters. These methods have taken over the benchmarks of image quality for upscaling tasks. Would it be possible to replace classic upscalers with deep learning architectures on edge devices such as display panels, tablets, laptop computers, etc.? On one hand, the current trend in Edge-AI chips shows a promising future in this direction, with rapid development of hardware that can run deep-learning tasks efficiently. On the other hand, in image SR only few architectures have pushed the limit to extreme small sizes that can actually run on edge devices at real-time. We explore possible solutions to this problem with the aim to fill the gap between classic upscalers and small deep learning configurations. As a transition from classic to deep-learning upscaling we propose edge-SR (eSR), a set of one-layer architectures that use interpretable mechanisms to upscale images. Certainly, a one-layer architecture cannot reach the quality of deep learning systems. Nevertheless, we find that for high speed requirements, eSR becomes better at trading-off image quality and runtime performance. Filling the gap between classic and deep-learning architectures for image upscaling is critical for massive adoption of this technology. It is equally important to have an interpretable system that can reveal the inner strategies to solve this problem and guide us to future improvements and better understanding of larger networks.
Aerial scene recognition is a fundamental task in remote sensing and has recently received increased interest. While the visual information from overhead images with powerful models and efficient algorithms yields considerable performance on scene re
cognition, it still suffers from the variation of ground objects, lighting conditions etc. Inspired by the multi-channel perception theory in cognition science, in this paper, for improving the performance on the aerial scene recognition, we explore a novel audiovisual aerial scene recognition task using both images and sounds as input. Based on an observation that some specific sound events are more likely to be heard at a given geographic location, we propose to exploit the knowledge from the sound events to improve the performance on the aerial scene recognition. For this purpose, we have constructed a new dataset named AuDio Visual Aerial sceNe reCognition datasEt (ADVANCE). With the help of this dataset, we evaluate three proposed approaches for transferring the sound event knowledge to the aerial scene recognition task in a multimodal learning framework, and show the benefit of exploiting the audio information for the aerial scene recognition. The source code is publicly available for reproducibility purposes.
With the recent advancement in deep learning, we have witnessed a great progress in single image super-resolution. However, due to the significant information loss of the image downscaling process, it has become extremely challenging to further advan
ce the state-of-the-art, especially for large upscaling factors. This paper explores a new research direction in super resolution, called reference-conditioned super-resolution, in which a reference image containing desired high-resolution texture details is provided besides the low-resolution image. We focus on transferring the high-resolution texture from reference images to the super-resolution process without the constraint of content similarity between reference and target images, which is a key difference from previous example-based methods. Inspired by recent work on image stylization, we address the problem via neural texture transfer. We design an end-to-end trainable deep model which generates detail enriched results by adaptively fusing the content from the low-resolution image with the texture patterns from the reference image. We create a benchmark dataset for the general research of reference-based super-resolution, which contains reference images paired with low-resolution inputs with varying degrees of similarity. Both objective and subjective evaluations demonstrate the great potential of using reference images as well as the superiority of our results over other state-of-the-art methods.
