Single-image super-resolution (SISR), which maps a low-resolution observation to a high-resolution image, has been extensively utilized in various computer vision applications. With the advent of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), numerous algorithms have emerged that achieve state-of-the-art results. However, the main drawback of CNN is the negligence in the interrelationship between the RGB color channel. This negligence further reduces crucial structural information of color and provides a non-optimal representation of color images. Furthermore, most of these CNN-based methods contain millions of parameters and layers, limiting the practical applications. To overcome these drawbacks, an endto- end trainable single image super-resolution method – Quaternion-based Image Super-Resolution network (QSRNet) that takes advantage of the quaternion theory is proposed in this paper. QSRNet aims at …
