We release XPixel Metaverse

XPixel Metaverse是XPixel Group集体智慧的结晶，它体现了XPixel所有成员对科研的坚持，对艺术的追求，对生活的热爱，和对世界的责任。下面就请跟随文字向导，一起来巡游XPixel的历史和现在。

XPixel Metaverse is the wisdom fruit of the whole XPixel Group. It represents our perseverance to research, our taste of art, our enthusiasm for life, and our responsibility to the world.Please follow the guide below to embark on a journey through XPixel's history and present.

设计理念

为了完整而有特色地展示XPixel Group的各项科研成果，我们采用了“地图”的形式，通过山川、河流、建筑等元素，自然的将一项项科研成果与之对应，最终构成了XPixel Metaverse。目前地图的大陆被三片海洋包围，中间的大陆则遍布XPixel从2014年到2022年来经典的科研成果，完美地将科技和艺术结合在了一起。

To showcase XPixel Group's diverse scientific research achievements in a unique and comprehensive manner, we have employed a "map" design, which seamlessly links each scientific achievement with features such as mountains, rivers, and buildings. As a result, the XPixel Metaverse has been created. At present, the map displays three oceans surrounding various continents, with the central one exhibiting XPixel's hallmark scientific research breakthroughs from 2014 to 2022. This innovative approach effectively blends technology and art.

海洋 Ocean

海洋以XPixel的组内文化：Love（奉献）、Focus（专注）、Balance（平衡）命名，象征着大陆上众多科研成果是在这种优秀的文化中孕育而成。而大陆的河流最终流入这三片汪洋之中，又象征着小组的工作成果最后又回归并加强了这种科研文化。

The ocean is named by XPixel team culture: Love, Focus, Balance, symbolizing that many scientific research achievements on the mainland are nurtured in this excellent culture. Similarly, the rivers of the mainland ultimately flow into these three oceans, representing how the group's work results contribute to and reinforce this research culture..

大陆 Mainland

贯彻大陆的河流由左上角的高山发源，以此山代表深度学习超分辨率的开山之作SRCNN，象征着这项工作重若泰山的源头意义。由此发源的河流上段命名为Image Super Resolution（SR），此段周围的建筑与地形均是传统单图像超分的重要成果。同时在上段出现了最早的支流Blind，象征着图像盲超分这一分支领域的出现。
顺主流而下到达一处大坝，大陆地形由高地形转为海拔更低更平坦的地形，象征着XPixel在早期工作的基础上，随着更多优秀同学的加入，科研工作的开展比以往更加顺利。在大坝下方形成的名为Low-Level Vision的湖泊分出三条河流，分别是：

The rivers cross the mainland originate from the high mountains in the upper left corner, which represent the beginning of deep learning super-resolution with SRCNN, a pioneering work of fundamental importance. The upper section of this river is named Image Super Resolution (SR), and the surrounding buildings and terrain are important achievements in traditional single-image super-resolution. At the same time, the earliest branch, Blind, emerged in the upper section of the river, representing the emergence of the field of blind image super-resolution. As we follow the main stream downstream, we arrive at a dam where the terrain of the mainland changes from high mountains to lower and flatter altitude. This represents XPixel's early work on super-resolution, which paved the way for further progress as more outstanding colleagues joined in. The research work of XPixel has since advanced more smoothly than before.Below the dam, a lake named Low-Level Vision is formed, which gives rise to three rivers. These rivers are also important in the field of super-resolution, as they represent the different directions that researchers have taken to explore low-level image processing.

  *象征交互式可调节复原的：Interactive Modulation
  *象征超分网络可解释性的：Interpretation
  *象征视频处理和复原的： Video Processing

Interpretation所流经的地图上方，其沙漠地貌与其他地方产生了强烈反差。这是因为底层视觉可解释性领域的工作非常稀少，且进展尤为不易，所以地貌较其他领域更加严酷。而这份不易对应的，是隐藏在沙漠背后未被探索的广袤空间。
在大陆的沿海处有一片码头区域，是超分领域最大的开源代码库BasicSR。这是XPixel科研工作的重要载体和精华所在，同时也在国际上获得了广泛的使用与认可，与码头的作用高度契合。

The desert landscape above which Interpretation flows exhibits a striking contrast with other regions on the map. This can be attributed to the scarcity and difficulty of work in the field of bottom-up visual interpretability, resulting in a more challenging terrain compared to other areas. This difficulty corresponds to the vast expanse of unexplored space hidden beyond the desert.
Located along the coastal area of the continent, there is a dock area which accommodates the largest open-source code repository for the super-resolution field, BasicSR. It plays a crucial role as a platform and repository for XPixel's research work and has gained widespread international usage and recognition, in line with the purpose of a dock.

文字介绍及其他元素 Text descriptions and other elements.

地图的左上角是作品的名称：XPixel Metaverse。地图正上方是XPixel的使命愿景：Our mission is to make the world look clearer and better! 地图右上角是XPixel的logo，地图中沙漠和沿海的两处小凤凰是XPixel的吉祥物。
大陆上各个地形、建筑均以XPixel的科研成果命名，并添加文字介绍。文字介绍最多四行，从上到下：

"XPixel Metaverse", is displayed at the top left corner of the map. Directly above the map, XPixel's mission statement is highlighted: "Our mission is to make the world look clearer and better!" The XPixel logo is situated at the top right corner of the map, and the company's mascots, two small phoenixes, are depicted in the desert and coastal areas.

  *某领域的开创性成果，以斜体标明该新领域
Pioneering achievement in a field, with the new field marked in italics
  *工作的简称
Abbreviation of the achievement
  *工作发表的期刊及年份
Journals in which the achievement was published and the year
  *工作的荣誉在最下方特别标明
