Recovering missing details in low-resolution (LR) images with unknown degradations is the main challenge for real-world image super-resolution (Real-ISR) task. Nevertheless, recovering all types of these unknown degradations is usually too complex by using only one specific model. In the study, we find that the degradations of different real-world images have both commonalities and specificities. Therefore, we propose a brand-new Mixture-of-Degradation-Experts (MoDE) Transformer network for dealing with the commonalities and specificities in degraded images. To process the commonalities of LR images, we set MoDE blocks with identical structure in different depth of our network. To process the specificities of LR images, there are a number of experts in every MoDE block with different parameters learned by the network adaptively. These experts excel in dealing with different types of degradations, and our network assigns the most appropriate expert for different images with specific degradations guided by our proposed degradation representation feature extraction branch. Consequently, the collaboration between different experts in different depth of our network complete the Real-ISR task with complex and diverse degradation images. Our approach shows good performance compared to current state-of-the-arts (SOTA) methods by conducting extensive experiments.
