}Single-image super-resolution is of great importance for vision applications, and numerous algorithms have been proposed in recent years. [] Key Method In addition to quantitative evaluations based on conventional full-reference metrics, human subject studies are carried out to evaluate image quality based on visual perception. The benchmark evaluations demonstrate the performance and limitations of state-of-the-art algorithms which sheds light on future research in single-image super-resolution.

It is found that an accurate blur model is more important than a sophisticated image prior in reconstructing raw lowers images acquired by an actual camera and the default blur models of various SR algorithms may differ from the camera blur, typically leading to over-smoothed results.
