There are very few paired high and low resolution images in the real world. The traditional single image Super-Resolution (SR) methods typically use pairs of high-resolution and low-resolution images to train models, but these methods use the way of synthetizing dataset to obtain training set, which only consider bilinear downsampling as image degradation process. However, the image degradation process in the real word is complex and diverse, and traditional image super-resolution methods have poor reconstruction performance when facing real unknown degraded images. Aiming at those problems, a single image super-resolution method was proposed for real complex scenes. Firstly, high- and low-resolution images were captured by the camera with different focal lengths, and these images were registered as image pairs to form a dataset CSR(Camera Super-Resolution dataset) of various scenes. Secondly, to simulate the image degradation process in the real world as much as possible, the image degradation model was improved by the parameter randomization of degradation factors and the nonlinear combination degradation. Besides, the dataset of high- and low-resolution image pairs and the image degradation model were combined to synthetize training set. Finally, as the degradation factors were considered in the dataset, residual shrinkage network and U-Net were embedded into the benchmark model to reduce the redundant information caused by degradation factors in the feature space as much as possible. Experimental results indicate that compared with the BSRGAN (Blind Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network) method, under complex degradation conditions, the proposed method improves the PSNR by 0.7 dB and 0.14 dB, and improves SSIM by 0.001 and 0.031 respectively on the RealSR and CSR test sets. The proposed method has better objective indicators and visual effect than the existing methods on complex degradation datasets.
