Lightweight Dense Residual Network for...

The technology described herein relates to a lightweight dense residual network for video super-resolution on mobile devices. A method for implementing a lightweight dense residual network to achieve super-resolution performance may include generating feature maps using a network based on an input of frames at a lower resolution, the network comprised of DenseRes blocks and an additional convolution operation, each DenseRes block comprising multiple layers of convolution operations and rectified linear activation function (ReLU) operations and a 1×1 convolution operation. Said feature maps are upsampled by a pixel shuffle layer in the network and the frames are output at a higher resolution, the higher resolution relative to the lower resolution by an upscaling factor.
