Efficient Deep Models for Real-Time 4K Image Super-Resolution. NTIRE 2023 Benchmark and Report
2023
Marcos V. Conde, Eduard Zamfir, Radu Timofte, Daniel Motilla, Sergiu Nistor
This paper introduces a novel benchmark for real-time image upscaling as part of the NTIRE 2023 Real-Time Image Super-Resolution Challenge, aiming to enhance 720p and 1080p images to native 4K (x2 and x3 factors) on commercial GPUs. We employed a diverse 4K test set spanning digital art to gaming and photography, evaluating 25 participating teams out of 170 based on runtime, parameters, FLOPs, and PSNR fidelity over Bicubic interpolation, providing a comprehensive overview of real-time SR advancements.
Efficient Deep Single-Image Super-Resolution on Mobile Devices
2023
Sergiu Nistor. Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Radu Timofte
This paper explores efficient deep learning methods for mobile single image super-resolution (SISR) across upscaling factors (x2, x3, x4). It prioritizes PSNR and perceptual loss optimization, focusing on shallow architectures to reduce inference time while maintaining GPU parallelism for practical applications in supporting computer vision tasks like face recognition and object detection.
Resource Streaming using a Peer-to-Peer Architecture
2021
Sergiu Nistor. Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Lenuta Alboaie
This paper advocates for decentralization to enhance user data privacy by proposing a Peer-to-Peer resource streaming framework. It promotes an unbiased network where users collaborate without hierarchy, reducing the risk of total outages and privacy breaches. The architecture employs locality-aware distributed hash tables and an epidemic protocol for consistent and up-to-date network state, addressing prior issues.
