Cross View Capture for Stereo Image Super-Resolution

Stereo image super-resolution exploits additional features from cross view image pairs for high resolution (HR) image reconstruction. Recently, several new methods have been proposed to investigate cross view features along epipolar lines to enhance the visual perception of recovered HR images. Despite the impressive performance of these methods, global contextual features from cross view images are left unexplored. In this paper, we propose a cross view capture network (CVCnet) for stereo image super-resolution by using both global contextual and local features extracted from both views. Specifically, we design a cross view block to capture diverse feature embeddings from the views in stereo vision. In addition, a cascaded spatial perception module is proposed to redistribute each location in feature maps according to the weight it occupies to make the extraction of features more effective. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed CVCnet outperforms the state-of-the-art image super-resolution methods to achieve the best performance for stereo image super-resolution tasks.
