Adversarial training with cycle consistency for unsupervised super-resolution in endomicroscopy

According to a recent report by the World Health Organization, cancer is the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular disease and was responsible for 8.8 million deaths in 2015. Early detection, such as the ability to detect precancerous lesions, plays an important role in reducing cancer incidence and related mortality  (Torre et al., 2016). Optical endomicroscopy, based for example on confocal microscopy, optical coherence tomography or spectroscopy, has the ability to perform optical biopsies and identify early pathology in tissues or organs including the colon, oesophagus, pancreas, brain, liver and cervix ( Ravì et al., 2017; Nguyen et al., 2015).
