Deep convolutional neural networks (Deep CNN) have achieved hopeful performance for single image super-resolution. In particular, the Deep CNN skip Connection and Network in Network (DCSCN) architecture has been successfully applied to natural images super-resolution. In this work we propose an approach called SDT-DCSCN that jointly performs super-resolution and deblurring of low-resolution blurry text images based on DCSCN. Our approach uses subsampled blurry images in the input and original sharp images as ground truth. The used architecture is consists of a higher number of filters in the input CNN layer to a better analysis of the text details. The quantitative and qualitative evaluation on different datasets prove the high performance of our model to reconstruct high-resolution and sharp text images. In addition, in terms of computational time, our proposed method gives competitive performance compared to state of the art methods.
