Introduction

The Laplacian Pyramid Super-Resolution Network (LapSRN) is a progressive super-resolution model that super-resolves an low-resolution images in a coarse-to-fine Laplacian pyramid framework. Our method is fast and achieves state-of-the-art performance on five benchmark datasets for 4x and 8x SR. For more details and evaluation results, please check out our project webpage and paper.

Requirements and Dependencies

  • MATLAB (we test with MATLAB R2015a on Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 7)
  • MatConvNet

Installation

# Start MATLAB
$ matlab
>> install

This script will copy vllab_dag_loss.m to matconvnet/matlab/+dagnn and run vl_compilenn to setup matconvnet.

Demo

To test LapSRN on a single-image:

>> demo_LapSRN

This script will load the pretrained LapSRN model and apply SR on emma.jpg.

To test LapSRN on benchmark datasets, first download the testing datasets:

$ cd datasets
$ wget http://vllab1.ucmerced.edu/~wlai24/LapSRN/results/SR_testing_datasets.zip
$ unzip SR_testing_datasets.zip
$ cd ..

Then choose the evaluated dataset and upsampling scale in evaluate_LapSRN_dataset.m and run:

>> evaluate_LapSRN_dataset

which can reproduce the results in our paper Table 4.

Training

To train LapSRN from scratch, first download the training datasets:

$ cd datasets
$ wget http://vllab1.ucmerced.edu/~wlai24/LapSRN/results/SR_training_datasets.zip
$ unzip SR_train_datasets.zip
$ cd ..

or use the provided bash script to download all datasets and unzip at once:

$ cd datasets
$ ./download_SR_datasets.sh
$ cd ..

Then, setup training options in init_opts.m, and run train_LapSRN(scale, depth, gpuID). For example, to train LapSRN with depth = 10 for 4x SR using GPU ID = 1:

>> train_LapSRN(4, 10, 1)

Note that we only test our code on single-GPU mode. MatConvNet supports training with multiple GPUs but you may need to modify our script and options (e.g., opts.gpu).

Testing

Use test_LapSRN(model_scale, depth, gpu, dataset, test_scale, epoch) to test your own LapSRN model. For example, test LapSRN with depth = 10, scale = 4, epoch = 10 on Set5:

>> test_LapSRN(4, 10, 1, 'Set5', 4, 10)

which will report the PSNR, SSIM and IFC.
