    In the realm of Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR), the meticulously crafted Nonlocal Sparse Attention-based block demonstrates its efficacy in noise reduction and computational cost reduction for nonlocal (global) features. However, it neglect the traditional Convolutional-based block, which proficient in handling local features. Thus, merging both the Nonlocal Sparse Attention-based block and the Convolutional-based block to concurrently manage local and nonlocal features poses a significant challenge. To tackle the aforementioned issues, this paper introduces the Channel Contrastive Attention-based Local-Nonlocal Mutual block (CCLN) for Super-Resolution (SR). (1) We introduce the CCLN block, encompassing the Local Sparse Convolutional-based block for local features and the Nonlocal Sparse Attention-based network block for nonlocal features. (2) We introduce Channel Contrastive Attention (CCA) blocks, incorporating Sparse Aggregation into Convolutional-based blocks. Additionally, we introduce a robust framework to fuse these two blocks, ensuring that each branch operates according to its respective strengths. (3) The CCLN block can seamlessly integrate into established network backbones like the Enhanced Deep Super-Resolution network (EDSR), achieving in the Channel Attention based Local-Nonlocal Mutual Network (CCLNN). Experimental results show that our CCLNN effectively leverages both local and nonlocal features, outperforming other state-of-the-art algorithms.
