An overview of the proposed SAFMN. SAFMN first transforms the input LR image into the feature space using a convolutional layer, performs feature extraction using a series of feature mixing modules (FMMs), and then reconstructs these extracted features by an upsampler module. The FMM block is mainly implemented by a spatially-adaptive feature modulation (SAFM) layer and a convolutional channel mixer (CCM).
