Abstract: A method for super-resolution of block-compressed texture is provided. The method includes receiving a first texture block of a first block size. Based on application of a first block compression (BC) scheme on the received first texture block, coded-texture values are generated in a compressed domain. Further, a first machine learning model is applied on the generated coded-texture values to generate super-resolution coded-texture values in the compressed domain. The generated super-resolution coded-texture values are processed to generate a second texture block of a second block size. The second block size is greater than the first block size.
