Single image super resolution by Chan, Jeremiah Sheng En

“…In the field of computer vision, super resolution with deep learning is a promising field that has generated multiple research, and has seen its application far and wide. In single image super resolution, the image can either be upscaled before being input into the network (pre upscaling) and its features learned, or it can be upscaled after the network has learned its feature (post upscaling). …”
