Multi-frame Super-resolution with Quality Self-assessment for Retinal Fundus Videos
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a novel super-resolution framework to reconstruct high-resolution fundus images from multiple low-resolution video frames in retinal fundus imaging. Natural eye movements during an examination are used as a cue for super-resolution in a robust maximum a-posteriori scheme. In order to compensate heterogeneous illumination on the fundus, we integrate retrospective illumination correction for photometric registration to the underlying imaging model. Our method utilizes quality self-assessment to provide objective quality scores for reconstructed images as well as to select regularization parameters automatically. In our evaluation on real data acquired from six human subjects with a low-cost video camera, the proposed method achieved considerable enhancements of low-resolution frames and improved noise and sharpness characteristics by 74%. In terms of image analysis, we demonstrate the importance of our method for the improvement of automatic blood vessel segmentation as an example application, where the sensitivity was increased by 13% using super-resolution reconstruction.

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 کاملMulti-frame Super Resolution for Improving Vehicle Licence Plate Recognition
License plate recognition (LPR) by digital image processing, which is widely used in traffic monitor and control, is one of the most important goals in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). In real ITS, the resolution of input images are not very high since technology challenges and cost of high resolution cameras. However, when the license plate image is taken at low resolution, the license...
متن کاملVideo Temporal Super-resolution Based on Self-similarity
We propose a method for making temporal super-resolution video from a single video by exploiting the self-similarity that exists in the spatio-temporal domain of videos. Temporal super-resolution is inherently ill-posed problem because there are an infinite number of high temporal resolution frames that can produce the same low temporal resolution frame. The key idea in this work to solve this ...

متن کاملA Regularized Robust Super-resolution Approach Foraliased Images and Low Resolution Videos
This paper presents a hybrid approach for images and video super-resolution. We have proposed the approach for enhancing the resolution of images and low resolution, under sampled videos. We exploited the shift and motion based robust super-resolution (SR)algorithm [1] and the diffusion image regularization method proposed in [2] to obtain the alias free and jerk free smooth SR image.We present...
