## Abstract (arXiv)

Real-world stereo image super-resolution has a significant influence on enhancing the performance of computer vision systems. Although existing methods for single-image super-resolution can be applied to improve stereo images, these methods often introduce notable modifications to the inherent disparity, resulting in a loss in the consistency of disparity between the original and the enhanced stereo images. To overcome this limitation, this paper proposes a novel approach that integrates a implicit stereo information discriminator and a hybrid degradation model. This combination ensures effective enhancement while preserving disparity consistency. The proposed method bridges the gap between the complex degradations in real-world stereo domain and the simpler degradations in real-world single-image super-resolution domain. Our results demonstrate impressive performance on synthetic and real datasets, enhancing visual perception while maintaining disparity consistency.
