Abstract

A method, device and computer-readable medium for generating a super-resolution version of a compressed video stream. By leveraging the motion information and residual information in compressed video streams, described examples are able to skip the time-consuming motion-estimation step for most frames and make the most use of the SR results of key frames. A key frame SR module generates SR versions of I-frames and other key frames of a compressed video stream using techniques similar to existing multi-frame approaches to VSR. A non-key frame SR module generates SR version of the non-key inter frames between these key frames by making use of motion information and residual information used to encode the inter frames in the compressed video stream.
