Description
Summary:In contemporary computer vision, deep learning-based real-time single image super-resolution approaches have gained significant attention for their ability to enhance the resolution of images in real time. These approaches are interconnected with various other computer vision domains, including image segmentation and object detection. Numerous surveys have summarized the state of the image SR domain. However, there is no survey that specifically addresses real-time single image SR on IoT devices. Therefore, in this study, we aim to explore strategies, identify the technical challenges, and outline the future directions of SR research, with a special emphasis on real-time super-resolution techniques. We begin with an overview of the core concepts related to real-time SR, recent challenges, and algorithm classification and delve into potential application scenarios that merit attention. Additionally, we explore the challenges and identify promising research areas related to real-time SR specifically related to IoT devices, highlighting potential advancements, limitations, and opportunities for future innovation in this rapidly evolving field.
