Interpretable Deep Multimodal Image Super-Resolution
Multimodal image super-resolution (SR) is the reconstruction of a high resolution image given a low-resolution observation with the aid of another image modality. While existing deep multimodal models do not incorporate domain knowledge about image SR, we present a multimodal deep network design that integrates coupled sparse priors and allows the effective fusion of information from another modality into the reconstruction process. Our method is inspired by a novel iterative algorithm for coupled convolutional sparse coding, resulting in an interpretable network by design. We apply our model to the super-resolution of near-infrared image guided by RGB images. Experimental results show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
