Abstract

To address the problems of unknown degradation, severe coupling between content features and degradation features, and insufficient reconstruction stability in real-world blind image super-resolution, this study investigated a blind image super-resolution method based on dual-stream invertible decoupling. First, a learnable lifting wavelet layer decomposed low-resolution images in the frequency domain and extracted low-frequency content features and high-frequency degradation-sensitive features. Second, a multi-scale invertible coupling block adaptively predicted affine modulation parameters through a residual parameter generation mechanism, promoted the progressive decoupling of the content stream and the degradation-related stream, and preserved the invertibility of feature mappings. Finally, a degradation closed-loop consistency constraint enhanced the physical consistency between degradation estimation and image reconstruction through a differentiable degradation model. Experimental results on the BSD100 dataset showed that, compared with FIWHN, the method improved PSNR and SSIM by 0.97 dB and 0.041, respectively, under complex mixed degradation conditions. The results indicate that the method effectively alleviates the coupling problem and achieves favorable reconstruction performance and stability.
