Local–global synergistic enhanced perception network for lightweight super-resolution
摘要
Effectively leveraging both high- and low-frequency cues from low-resolution images remains a key challenge in single image super-resolution(SISR). To address this, we propose the Local–global synergistic Enhanced Perception Network (LSEPN), a lightweight CNN-Transformer cooperative model: The local branch employs multi-type gradient-aware differential convolutions to explicitly encode edge and texture priors, significantly enhancing the detail representation and generalization of vanilla convolutions; the global branch captures long-range dependencies and low-frequency semantics via multi-level spatial self-attention (local, cross-region, global). Additionally, we introduce a Frequency-Aware Fusion Module(FAFM) that adaptively balances structural preservation and detail enhancement for feature fusion. Visualizations of Fourier spectrum and Local attribution map reveal reduced feature redundancy and broader pixel activation. LSEPN achieves competitive gains (e.g., +0.49dB on Manga109
