Implementation of Image and Video Upscaling Methods on Development Boards

The advancements of high resolution display technologies support applications ranging from mobile multimedia streaming to automotive cockpits and infotainment systems. Given the limited transmission and processing resources in a mobile communication context, a large number of upscaling methods for restoring high-resolution visual content from low-resolution representations have been proposed and assessed from a theoretical point of view. This paper, therefore, deals with the practical implementation of state-of-the-art upscaling methods on development boards. The proposed tool chain and solutions may be applied as a general framework for the implementation of current and future upscaling methods on resource limited devices.
