Abstract
Disclosed is an image upscaling apparatus that includes: multiple convolution layers, each configured to receive an input image or a feature map outputted by a previous convolution layer and extract features to output a feature map; and a multilayer configured to receive a final feature map outputted from the last convolution layer and output an upscaled output image. The multilayer includes: a first partition layer including first filters having a minimum size along the x-axis and y-axis directions and the same size as the final feature map along the z-axis direction; and at least one second partition layer, each including second filters, having a size greater than that of the first filter in the x-axis and y-axis directions and having a number and size of the first filter in the z-axis direction, and configured to shuffle features in the x-axis and y-axis directions of the first shuffle map.
