Morphological operations are nonlinear mathematical operations that are capable of performing signal processing tasks based on the structures and textures of the signals. With this motivation of the capability of morphological operations, in this paper, a novel residual block that can generate morphological features of images and fuse them with the conventional hierarchical features has been proposed. The proposed residual block is then used to design a light-weight deep neural network architecture in a residual framework for the task of image super resolution. It is shown that a fusion of morphological features of images with the conventional hierarchical features can improve the super resolution capability of a deep convolutional network. Experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed idea of using morphological operations and the superiority of the network designed based on this idea in super resolving low quality images.
