Efficient Multi-disparity Transformer for Light Field Image Super-resolution

Published 22 Jul 2024 in eess.IV and cs.CV | (2407.15329v1)

Abstract: This paper presents the Multi-scale Disparity Transformer (MDT), a novel Transformer tailored for light field image super-resolution (LFSR) that addresses the issues of computational redundancy and disparity entanglement caused by the indiscriminate processing of sub-aperture images inherent in conventional methods. MDT features a multi-branch structure, with each branch utilising independent disparity self-attention (DSA) to target specific disparity ranges, effectively reducing computational complexity and disentangling disparities. Building on this architecture, we present LF-MDTNet, an efficient LFSR network. Experimental results demonstrate that LF-MDTNet outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods by 0.37 dB and 0.41 dB PSNR at the 2x and 4x scales, achieving superior performance with fewer parameters and higher speed.
