Abstract: Video restoration aims to restore potential clear videos from a given degraded video sequence.Existing video restoration methods usually focus on modeling the motion information among adjacent frames and establishing the alignment among them.Different from these methods,this paper proposes a feature warping method based on deep learning for video super-resolution.Firstly,the proposed algorithm estimates the motion information based on deep convolutional neural networks.Then,it develops a shallow deep convolutional neural network to estimate the features from input frames.Based on the estimated motion information,this paper warps the deep features to those of the central frames.Next,the proposed method fuses the deep features effectively.Finally,this paper proposes a restoration network which is able to reconstruct clear frames.Experimental results de-monstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.The proposed algorithm performs well on the benchmark datasets compared to existing methods.

Key words: Deep convolutional neural network, Feature warping, Motion estimation, Video restoration, Video super-resolution
