contents Advancements in imaging technology have enabled hardware to support 10 to 16 bits per channel, facilitating precise manipulation in applications like image editing and video processing. While deep neural networks promise to recover high bit-depth representations, existing methods often rely on scale-invariant image information, limiting performance in certain scenarios. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach that integrates a super-resolution architecture to extract detailed a priori information from images. By leveraging interpolated data generated during the super-resolution process, our method achieves pixel-level recovery of fine-grained color details. Additionally, we demonstrate that spatial features learned through the super-resolution process significantly contribute to the recovery of detailed color depth information. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods, highlighting the potential of super-resolution for high-fidelity color restoration.
