Abstract
We present a single image super resolution technique in which we estimate wavelet detail coefficients of a desired high resolution (HR) image using a convolutional neural network (CNN) on the given low resolution (LR) image. Detail coefficients are necessarily sparse for natural images, unlike pixel intensities, and are thus better suited to be CNN output. This allows us to train a CNN with far fewer samples and lesser training time and yet achieve better reconstruction quality with lesser run time compared to a recent state-of-the-art technique that directly estimates the HR pixels using a CNN.
