Light field (LF) cameras record multiple perspectives by a sparse sampling of real scenes, and these perspectives provide complementary information. This information is beneficial to LF super-resolution (LFSR). Compared with traditional single-imagesuper-resolution, LF can exploit parallax structure and perspective correlation among different LF views. Furthermore, the performance of existing methods are limited as they fail to deeply explore the complementary information across LF views. In this paper, we propose a novel network, called the light field complementary-view feature attention network (LF-CFANet), to improve LFSR by dynamically learning the complementary information in LF views. Specifically, we design a residual complementary-view spatial and channel attention module (RCSCAM) to effectively interact with complementary information between complementary views. Moreover, RCSCAM captures the relationships between different channels, and it is able to generate informative features for reconstructing LF images while ignoring redundant information. Then, a maximum-difference information supplementary branch (MDISB) is used to supplement information from the maximum-difference angular positions based on the geometric structure of LF images. This branch also can guide the process of reconstruction. Experimental results on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method. The proposed LF-CFANet has a more advanced reconstruction performance that displays faithful details with higher SR accuracy than state-of-the-art methods.

Large-scale graphs usually exhibit global sparsity with local cohesiveness, and mining the representative cohesive subgraphs is a fundamental problem in graph analysis. The k-truss is one of the most commonly studied cohesive subgraphs, in which each edge is formed in at least k-2 triangles. A critical issue in mining a k-truss lies in the computation of the trussness of each edge, which is the maximum value of k that an edge can be in a k-truss. Existing works mostly focus on truss computation in static graphs by sequential models. However, the graphs are constantly changing dynamically in the real world. We study distributed truss computation in dynamic graphs in this paper. In particular, we compute the trussness of edges based on the local nature of the k-truss in a synchronized node-centric distributed model. Iteratively decomposing the trussness of edges by relying only on local topological information is possible with the proposed distributed decomposition algorithm. Moreover, the distributed maintenance algorithm only needs to update a small amount of dynamic information to complete the computation. Extensive experiments have been conducted to show the scalability and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
