Multi-sensor Super-Resolution

چکیده
Image sensing is usually done with multiple sensors, like the RGB sensors in color imaging, the IR and EO sensors in surveillance and satellite imaging, etc. The resolution of each sensor can be increased by considering the images of the other sensors, and using the statistical redundancy among the sensors. Particularly, we use the fact that most discontinuities in the image of one sensor correspond to discontinuities in the other sensors. Two applications are presented: Increasing the resolution of a single color image by using the correlation among the three color channels, and enhancing noisy IR images.

Pseudo Zernike Moment-based Multi-frame Super Resolution
The goal of multi-frame Super Resolution (SR) is to fuse multiple Low Resolution (LR) images to produce one High Resolution (HR) image. The major challenge of classic SR approaches is accurate motion estimation between the frames. To handle this challenge, fuzzy motion estimation method has been proposed that replaces value of each pixel using the weighted averaging all its neighboring pixels i...
متن کاملSuper-resolution of Defocus Blurred Images
Super-resolution is a process that combines information from some low-resolution images in order to produce an image with higher resolution. In most of the previous related work, the blurriness that is associated with low resolution images is assumed to be due to the integral effect of the acquisition device’s image sensor. However, in practice there are other sources of blurriness as well, inc...
متن کاملImproving Super-resolution Techniques via Employing Blurriness Information of the Image
Super-resolution (SR) is a technique that produces a high resolution (HR) image via employing a number of low resolution (LR) images from the same scene. One of the degradations that attenuates performance of the SR is the blurriness of the input LR images. In many previous works in the SR, the blurriness of the LR images is assumed to be due to the integral effect of the image sensor of the im...
متن کاملA Unified Bayesian Approach to Multi-Frame Super-Resolution and Single-Image Upsampling in Multi-Sensor Imaging
For a variety of multi-sensor imaging systems, there is a strong need for resolution enhancement. In this paper, we propose a unified method for single-image upsampling and multi-frame super-resolution of multi-channel images. We derive our algorithm from a Bayesian model that is formulated by a novel image prior to exploit sparsity of individual channels as well as a locally linear regression ...
متن کاملMulti-sensor super-resolution for hybrid range imaging with application to 3-D endoscopy and open surgery
In this paper, we propose a multi-sensor super-resolution framework for hybrid imaging to super-resolve data from one modality by taking advantage of additional guidance images of a complementary modality. This concept is applied to hybrid 3-D range imaging in image-guided surgery, where high-quality photometric data is exploited to enhance range images of low spatial resolution. We formulate s...
متن کاملToF Meets RGB: Novel Multi-Sensor Super-Resolution for Hybrid 3-D Endoscopy
3-D endoscopy is an evolving field of research with the intention to improve safety and efficiency of minimally invasive surgeries. Time-of-Flight (ToF) imaging allows to acquire range data in real-time and has been engineered into a 3-D endoscope in combination with an RGB sensor (640x480px) as a hybrid imaging system, recently. However, the ToF sensor suffers from a low spatial resolution (64...
