Patent attributes
Techniques for machine learning-based image super-resolution are described. A Dual Path Deep Back Projection Network can be used to enhance an input image. For example, the model may be trained to perform image super-resolution, remove artifacts, provide filtering or low light enhancement, etc. Classification may be performed on the resulting enhanced images to identify objects represented in the images. The model may be trained using a dataset that includes groups of images: an original image and an enhanced image. The model may use both residual and dense connectivity patterns between each successive back projection blocks to improve construction of a high-resolution output image from a low resolution input image. The enhanced images increase classification accuracy for input images having low image resolution.
