Stereo video super-resolution (SVSR) aims to enhance the spatial resolution
of the low-resolution video by reconstructing the high-resolution video. The
key challenges in SVSR are preserving the stereo-consistency and
temporal-consistency, without which viewers may experience 3D fatigue. There
are several notable works on stereoscopic image super-resolution, but there is
little research on stereo video super-resolution. In this paper, we propose a
novel Transformer-based model for SVSR, namely Trans-SVSR. Trans-SVSR comprises
two key novel components: a spatio-temporal convolutional self-attention layer
and an optical flow-based feed-forward layer that discovers the correlation
across different video frames and aligns the features. The parallax attention
mechanism (PAM) that uses the cross-view information to consider the
significant disparities is used to fuse the stereo views. Due to the lack of a
benchmark dataset suitable for the SVSR task, we collected a new stereoscopic
video dataset, SVSR-Set, containing 71 full high-definition (HD) stereo videos
captured using a professional stereo camera. Extensive experiments on the
collected dataset, along with two other datasets, demonstrate that the
Trans-SVSR can achieve competitive performance compared to the state-of-the-art
methods. Project code and additional results are available at
