摘要

In this paper, we study reference-based image super-resolution (RefSR), where external reference images provide high-resolution cues and a higher texture compensation than single image super-resolution (SISR), but are not suited for cross domain. High-resolution images and low-resolution input often contain large color and geometric mismatches, which can produce strong artifacts directly aligned with the input. Single-path designs also do not provide local detail quality and global structural consistency, and may obtain inaccurate texture recovery or non-significant deformation. Other unreliable reference features may also be erroneous and consequently degrade reconstruction stability. We design a Structure-Guided Collaborative Network (SGCNet) consisting of three aspects. A Lightweight Color and Structure Alignment Module (LCAM) performs cross-domination registration based on color normalization and structure-consistency mask to minimize style drift and misalignment artifacts. A Dual-Path Encoder where a multiscale CNN branch and a structure aware Mamba branch are used to capture local high-frequency patterns and long-range structural dependency controls unreliable reference cues. A Structure-Difference-Aware Gated Fusion Module (SGFM) controls unreliable sources using difference-enabled gating to achieve consistent structure–texture fusion at scale. Extensive experiments have shown that SGCNet performs better than existing state-of-the-art techniques in both quantitative and qualitative metrics.
