Non-Local Kernel Regression for Image and Video Restoration
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a non-local kernel regression (NL-KR) method for image and video restoration tasks, which exploits both the non-local self-similarity and local structural regularity in natural images. The non-local self-similarity is based on the observation that image patches tend to repeat themselves in natural images and videos; and the local structural regularity reveals that image patches have regular structures where accurate estimation of pixel values via regression is possible. Explicitly unifying both properties, the proposed non-local kernel regression framework is robust and applicable to various image and video restoration tasks. In this work, we are specifically interested in applying the NL-KR model to image and video super-resolution (SR) reconstruction. Extensive experimental results on both single images and realistic video sequences demonstrate the superiority of the proposed framework for SR tasks over previous works both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Adaptive Image Enhancement Algorithm Combining Kernel Regression and Local Homogeneity
It is known that many image enhancement methods have a tradeoff between noise suppression and edge enhancement. In this paper, we propose a new technique for image enhancement filtering and explain it in human visual perception theory.

Small Area estimation is a technique used to estimate parameters of subpopulations with small sample sizes. Small area estimation is needed in obtaining information on a small area, such as sub-district or village. Generally, in some cases, small area estimation uses parametric modeling. But in fact, a lot of models have no linear relationship between the small area average and the covariat...

Traditional super-resolution methods produce a clean high-resolution image from several observed degraded low-resolution images following an acquisition or degradation model. Such a model describes how each output pixel is related to one or more input pixels and it is called data fidelity term in the regularization framework. Additionally, prior knowledge such as piecewise smoothness can be inc...
