Dezein Hibatullah, Ruli Susanti

Abstract


This study presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on the development of attention-based deep learning methods for Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR) for the period 2022–2026. Using the PRISMA 2020 framework, 53 articles were selected from 1,116 identified articles from Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink. The study results show that hybrid CNN-Transformer architectures with attention mechanisms dominate the current trend, with channel attention being the most widely used (71.7%). Application domains include medical imaging, remote sensing, surveillance, multimedia, and industry. Key challenges identified include model complexity, limited generalization, and the trade-off between reconstruction quality and inference efficiency. This study provides a comprehensive roadmap for developing more adaptive and efficient attention-based SISR systems.
