Task-Aware Image Downscaling [chapter]

Heewon Kim, Myungsub Choi, Bee Lim, Kyoung Mu Lee
2018 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
We propose an auto-encoder-based framework that enables joint learning of the downscaling network and the upscaling network to maximize the restoration performance.  ...  In this paper, we present a novel technique called task-aware image downscaling to support an upscaling task.  ...  Figure 1 shows an example of the importance of choosing an appropriate downscaling method, where the downscaled LR images in blue and red look similar, but the restored HR image Fig. 1 : Our task-aware  ...

Scale-arbitrary Invertible Image Downscaling [article]

Jinbo Xing, Wenbo Hu, Tien-Tsin Wong
2022 arXiv   pre-print
Recent invertible image downscaling methods jointly model the downscaling/upscaling problems and achieve significant improvements.  ...  Meanwhile, the HR information is embedded in the downscaled low-resolution (LR) counterparts in a nearly imperceptible form such that our AIDN can also restore the original HR images solely from the LR  ...  Unlike the scale-aware upsampling layer, our CRM can be used for both downscaling and upscaling, and is not only scale-aware but also content-adaptive.  ...
