“…In addition to modeling natural image properties, priors can also be learned from datasets. Sparse coding (Li et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2010;Zeyde et al, 2010), neighborhood regression (Perez-Pellitero et al, 2016;Timofte et al, 2013Timofte et al, , 2014Zhang et al, 2019a), random forests (Huang et al, 2017;Schulter et al, 2015;Zhi-Song and Siu, 2018), and deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) (Chang et al, 2020;Dai et al, 2019;Dong et al, 2015;Guo et al, 2020;Huang et al, 2021;Ledig et al, 2017;Lim et al, 2017;Sha et al, 2019;Sharma and Kumar, 2021;Wang et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2021bZhang et al, , 2018bZhao et al, 2019;Zhou et al, 2021) are adopted in previous studies to learn the mapping from LR images to their HR counterparts. In particular, as in many other fields (Barzekar and Yu, 2022;Chala et al, 2021;Dai et al, 2022;Garg et al, 2022;Jiang et al, 2022;Liu et al, 2021;Tan et al, 2021;Zangeneh et al, 2020), deep CNN-based models have uplifted the SR performance to a new height.…”
