Blind Super Resolution with Reference Images and Implicit Degradation Representation
Previous studies in blind super-resolution (BSR) have primarily concentrated on estimating degradation kernels directly from low-resolution (LR) inputs to enhance super-resolution. However, these degradation kernels, which model the transition from a high-resolution (HR) image to its LR version, should account for not only the degradation process but also the downscaling factor. Applying the same degradation kernel across varying super-resolution scales may be impractical. Our research acknowle…

Data Fusion for High-Resolution Estimation
High-resolution estimates of population health indicators are critical for precision public health. We propose a method for high-resolution estimation that fuses distinct data sources: an unbiased, low-resolution data source (e.g. aggregated administrative data) and a potentially biased, high-resolution data source (e.g. individual-level online survey responses). We assume that the potentially biased, high-resolution data source is generated from the population under a model of sampling bias wh…

Has anyone making this feature actually asked any accessibility experts and any disabled people if this is a good idea?
Because in practice this will give you terrible results, because AI can’t know what you intent do communicate with the image.
Even if it would give good results (it doesn’t and never will) and you’re too lazy to write alt text yourself, it would be better to do this on the receiving end where the disabled person could fine-tune generative alt text to their specific needs.
