## Paper Review: Deformable Convolution

Deformable Convolutional Networks Paper arxiv link Deformable Convolution Standard convolution has fixed sampling location and receptive field. To solve this problem, Deformable convolution use learnable offset. 2D Convolution The standard 2D convolution consists of two steps: 1) sampling using a regular grid $$\mathcal{R}$$ over the input ...

EDVR: Video Restoration with Enhanced Deformable Convolutional Networks Paper arxiv link Overview The overall framework of EDVR Given $$2N+1$$ consecutive frames $$I_{[t-N:t+N]}$$, denote middle frame $$I_{t}$$ as the reference frame and the other frames as neighboring frames Inputs with high spatial resolution are first down-sampled to re...
