Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new video Super-Resolution (SR) method by jointly modeling intra-frame redundancy and inter-frame motion context in a unified deep network. Different from conventional methods, the proposed Spatial-Temporal Recurrent Residual Network (STR-ResNet) investigates both spatial and temporal residues, which are represented by the difference between a high resolution (HR) frame and its corresponding low resolution (LR) frame and the difference between adjacent HR frames, respectively. This spatial-temporal residual learning model is then utilized to connect the intra-frame and inter-frame redundancies within video sequences in a recurrent convolutional network and to predict HR temporal residues in the penultimate layer as guidance to benefit estimating the spatial residue for video SR. Extensive experiments have demonstrated that the proposed STR-ResNet is able to efficiently reconstruct videos with diversified contents and complex motions, which outperforms the existing video SR approaches and offers new state-of-the-art performances on benchmark datasets.
