Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for super-resolution (SR) are described. The SR method includes determining a direction type of an input image based on a gradient of the input image, obtaining a first intermediate image based on the direction type using a look-up table (LUT) that stores an SR operation result of a pixel value combination corresponding to a kernel set mapped to the determined direction type, wherein the first intermediate image is an SR image corresponding to the input image, applying SR interpolation to the input image to obtain a baseline image, and obtaining an output image based on the first intermediate image and the baseline image.
