Can We Use Neural Regularization to Solve Depth Super-Resolution?

Depth maps captured with commodity sensors often require super-resolution to be used in applications. In this work we study a super-resolution approach based on a variational problem statement with Tikhonov regularization where the regularizer is parametrized with a deep neural network. This approach was previously applied successfully in photoacoustic tomography. We experimentally show that its application to depth map super-resolution is difficult, and provide suggestions about the reasons for that.
