  Abstract

Super-resolution is the process of upscaling low-resolution images into high-resolution images and is relatively focused on research that improves system performance by utilizing heavy computation. We recognized that deep convolutional neural network based super-resolution models need to be lightweighted when they ared used with other technologies or in mobile environments. In this paper, we propose a separable convolution-based multi-scale residual network(SMSRN) structure using depth-wise separable convolution, which is a lightweight version of the latest super-resolution model, that is, the multi-scale residual network (MSRN). Compare to the MSRN, the number of parameters in SMSRN is 14.64% of that in MSRN. On the other hand, quantitative experiments on a variety of benchmark datasets resulted in the remaining performance of 98.53%, and qualitative experiments showed that performance degradation was difficult to identify. Since the SMSRN is a structure that uses a variety of convolution filter sizes, it is expected that it can also be applied to various architectures of super-resolution models to make them lighter.
