- Burst super-resolution has received increased attention in recent years due to its applications in mobile photography. By merging information from multiple shifted images of a scene, burst super-resolution aims to recover details which otherwise cannot be obtained using a simple input image. This paper reviews the NTIRE 2022 challenge on burst super-resolution. In the challenge, the participants were tasked with generating a clean RGB image with 4x higher resolution, given a RAW noisy burst as input. That is, the methods need to perform joint denoising, demosaicking, and super-resolution. The challenge consisted of 2 tracks. Track 1 employed synthetic data, where pixel-accurate high-resolution ground truths are available. Track 2 on the other hand used real-world bursts captured from a handheld camera, along with approximately aligned reference images captured using a DSLR. 14 teams participated in the final testing phase. The top performing methods establish a new state-of-the-art on the burst super-resolution task.

- Modern digital cameras generally count on image signal processing (ISP) pipelines for producing naturalistic RGB images. Nevertheless, in comparison to DSLR cameras, low-quality images are generally output from portable mobile devices due to their physical limitations. The synthesized low-quality images usually have multiple degradations - low-resolution owing to small camera sensors, mosaic patterns on account of camera filter array and subpixel shifts due to camera motion. Such degradation usually restrain the performance of single image super-resolution methodologies for retrieving high-resolution (HR) image from a single low-resolution (LR) image. Burst image super-resolution aims at restoring a photo-realistic HR image by capturing the abundant information from multiple LR images. Lately, the soaring popularity of burst photography has made multi-frame processing an attractive solution for overcoming the limitations of single image processing. In our work, we thus aim to propose a generic architecture, adaptive feature consolidation network (AFCNet) for multi-frame processing. To alleviate the challenge of effectively modelling the long-range dependency problem, that multi-frame approaches struggle to solve, we utilize encoder-decoder based transformer backbone which learns multi-scale local-global representations. We propose feature alignment module to align LR burst frame features. Further, the aligned features are fused and reconstructed by abridged pseudo-burst fusion module and adaptive group upsampling modules, respectively. Our proposed approach clearly outperforms the other existing state-of-the-art techniques on benchmark datasets. The experimental results illustrate the effectiveness and generality of our proposed framework in upgrading the visual quality of HR images.
