Single-image super-resolution is one of these areas which are considerably in uenced by deep learning advancements. Most of the current state-of-the-art methods on super-resolution problem learn a nonlinear mapping from low-resolution images to high-resolution images in the spatial domain using consecutive convolutional layers in their network architectures. However, these state-of-the-art results are obtained by training a separate neural network architecture for each di erent scale factor. We propose a novel singleimage super-resolution system with the limited number of learning parameters in spectral domain in order to eliminate the necessity to train a separate neural network for each scale factor. As a spectral transform function which converts images from the spatial domain to the frequency domain, discrete cosine transform (DCT) which is a variant of discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is used. In addition, in the post-processing step, an artifact reduction module is added for removing ringing artifacts occurred due to spectral transformations. Even if the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) measurement of our super-resolution system is lower than current state-of-the-art methods, the spectral domain allows us to develop a single model with a single dataset for any scale factor and relatively obtain better structural similarity index (SSIM) results.xiii, 66 leaves : illustrations (some color) ; 30 cmEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSuper-resolutionDeep learningFourier transformThesisB150135
