Title: Test-time Domain Generalization for Image Super-resolution
Primary area: transfer learning, meta learning, and lifelong learning
Keywords: Test-time domain generalization

Abstract: Test-time domain generalization (TTDG) methods enhance the performance of neural networks on target domains by transferring the feature distribution of target samples to approximate that of the source domain, while avoiding the computational cost associated with fine-tuning on the target domain. However, existing TTDG methods primarily rely on style transfer strategies operating at a coarse granularity, which prove ineffective for pixel-level prediction tasks such as image super-resolution (SR). To address this limitation, we propose a multi-codebook based test-time domain generalization framework (MC-TTDG). Our method leverages both domain-specific and domain-invariant codebooks to achieve fine-grained representation learning on source domains, and performs pixel-level nearest-neighbor feature matching and transfer to accurately adjust target domain features. Furthermore, we introduce a voting-based strategy for optimal domain-specific codebook selection, which improves the precision of feature transfer through multi-party consensus. Extensive experiments across diverse data distributions, and network architectures demonstrate that the proposed method effectively transfers feature distributions for SR networks. Our code is available at ***.

TL;DR: We propose a test-time domain generalization method for SR tasks, which employs a codebook strategy to achieve pixel-level transfer of target domain sample features.
