Abstract

An efficient network for super-resolution, which we refer to as inception learning super-resolution (ILSR), is proposed. We adopt the inception module from GoogLeNet to exploit multiple features from low-resolution images, yet maintain fast training steps. The proposed ILSR network demonstrates low computation time and fast convergence during the training process. It is divided into three parts: feature extraction, mapping, and reconstruction. In feature extraction, we apply the inception module followed by dimensional reduction. Then, we map features using a simple convolutional layer. Finally, we reconstruct the high-resolution component using the inception module and a 1×1 convolutional layer. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed network can construct sharp edges and clean textures, and reduce computation time by up to three orders of magnitude compared to state-of-the-art methods.
