Why there are intermediate kernels for x4? #52

Open JingyunLiang opened 4 years ago

JingyunLiang commented 4 years ago

In the given DIVRK dataset, there are intermediate kernels for x4. I guess they are x2 kernels and the given x4 kernels are derived from intermediate x2 kernels. Then, the derived x4 kernels are used to generate LR image. Am I right?

Why don't directly generate x4 kernels and use them to blur HR? What's the difference between anisotropic Gaussian x4 kernel and derived x4 kernel (from anisotropic Gaussian x2 kernel)? Would it be fair to compare with other methods that are using anisotropic Gaussian x4 kernels?

I am not sure I understand the second part. The first part - correct

Yes, I have the same question. Compared with generating the x4 kernels anisotropic Gaussian based on x2 kernels anisotropic Gaussian kernels, why can't generate the x4 kernels anisotropic Gaussian directly?

You can do that as well. As I recall (it was a while ago), we spoke with a physics/vision/optics specialistic who claimed that more realistic and natural kernels are a multiplication of smaller scale factors than a big one that can't be represented as 2 smaller ones
