Abstract: Image super-resolution (SR) refers to the process of recovering high-resolution (HR) images from low-resolution (LR) inputs. Blind image SR is a more challenging task which involves unknown blurring kernels and characterizes the degradation process from HR to LR. In the present disclosure, embodiments of a variational autoencoder (VAE) are leveraged to train a kernel autoencoder for more accurate degradation representation and more efficient kernel estimation. In one or more embodiments, a kernel-agnostic loss is used to learn more robust kernel features in the latent space from LR inputs without using ground-truth kernel references. In addition, attention-based adaptive pooling is introduced to improve kernel estimation accuracy, and spatially non-uniform kernel features are passed into SR restoration resulting in additional kernel estimation error tolerance.
