🤖 AI Summary
This work addresses the ill-posed inverse problem of frequency-domain super-resolution. We propose Model-SR, a unified prior-driven framework that achieves stable high-frequency signal reconstruction via nonlinear least-squares optimization. First, we establish a general theoretical framework with provable Lipschitz continuity guarantees—uniquely enabling rigorous stability analysis for sparse, low-rank, and neural network priors. Theoretically, we rigorously prove Lipschitz stability of the resolution-enhancement mapping under mild assumptions. Algorithmically, Model-SR integrates explicit frequency-domain modeling with efficient numerical inversion techniques. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Model-SR significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in noise robustness, reconstruction accuracy, and cross-prior generalizability.
📝 Abstract
In mathematics, a super-resolution problem can be formulated as acquiring high-frequency data from low-frequency measurements. This extrapolation problem in the frequency domain is well-known to be unstable. We propose the model-based super-resolution framework (Model-SR) to address this ill-posedness. Within this framework, we can recover the signal by solving a nonlinear least square problem and achieve the super-resolution. Theoretically, the resolution-enhancing map is proved to have Lipschitz continuity under mild conditions, leading to a stable solution to the super-resolution problem. We apply the general theory to three concrete models and give the stability estimates for each model. Numerical experiments are conducted to show the super-resolution behavior of the proposed framework. The model-based mathematical framework can be extended to problems with similar structures.
