Weakly-supervised contrastive learning-based implicit degradation modeling for blind image super-resolution

作者:

Highlights:

• A blind image super-resolution framework is proposed based on degradation modeling.

• We propose to differentiate degradations via weakly-supervised contrastive learning.

• We propose to extract degradation representations via attention-enhanced encoding.

• We develop an effective degradation representation-guided super-resolution network.

• Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
