Abstract  
Super-resolving real-world video sequences remains to be a challenging research task in the field of computer vision. Many of the early works focus on model-based methods such as maximum a posteriori and adaptive filtering that can achieve promising results but highly rely on the assumption on the data. As nowadays data-driven method convolutional neural networks (CNN) have so far been successfully applied to image super-resolution (SR) as well as other restoration tasks, we propose a CNN solution for video super-resolution. In this proposal, we firstly present a conventional adaptive video super-resolution algorithm which uses a Bayesian approach [1]. Secondly, we explore the early works of super-resolution [2] research field comprehensively and discuss several key factors such as motion estimation, data statistics and evaluation metrics. Finally, we review a recent work [3] that introduce CNN in part of their video super-resolution framework. Based on the ideas from these three papers and the results from our current work, we conclude with a discussion of potential further directions.
