Deep SESR model

• An efficient model for underwater imagery; can be trained end-to-end for 2x-4x SESR
• Model architecture and implementation details: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.01155.pdf
• Weights for Deep SESR 2x with 1D FENet (trained on UFO-120) are provided in models/
  • HDF5: deep_sesr_2x_1d.h5 file; use test_sesr_Keras.py
  • Protobuf: deep_sesr_2x_1d.pb file; use test_sesr_TF.py

UFO-120 dataset

• 1500 training and 120 test samples (underwater images)
• Facilitates paired training of 2x, 3x, and 4x SESR models
• Also has annotated saliency maps for training saliency prediction models
• Can be downloaded from: http://irvlab.cs.umn.edu/resources/ufo-120-dataset
