A Bayesian Approach to Alignment-Based Image Hallucination
نویسندگان
چکیده
In most image hallucination work, a strong assumption is held that images can be aligned to a template on which the prior of high-res images is formulated and learned. Realizing that one template can hardly generalize to all images of an object such as faces due to pose and viewpoint variation as well as occlusion, we propose an examplebased prior distribution via dense image correspondences. We introduce a Bayesian formulation based on an image prior that can implement different effective behaviors based on the value of a single parameter. Using faces as examples, we show that our system outperforms the prior state of art.

Bayesian Tensor Inference for Sketch-Based Facial Photo Hallucination
This paper develops a statistical inference approach, Bayesian Tensor Inference, for style transformation between photo images and sketch images of human faces. Motivated by the rationale that image appearance is determined by two cooperative factors: image content and image style, we first model the interaction between these factors through learning a patch-based tensor model. Second, by intro...
متن کاملHallucinating multiple occluded face images of different resolutions
Learning-based super-resolution has recently been proposed for enhancing human face images, known as ‘‘face hallucination’’. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to super-resolve face images given multiple partially occluded inputs at different lower resolutions. By integrating hierarchical patch-wise alignment and inter-frame constraints into a Bayesian framework, we can probabilistical...
متن کاملAlignment-Free and High-Frequency Compensation in Face Hallucination
Face hallucination is one of learning-based super resolution techniques, which is focused on resolution enhancement of facial images. Though face hallucination is a powerful and useful technique, some detailed high-frequency components cannot be recovered. It also needs accurate alignment between training samples. In this paper, we propose a high-frequency compensation framework based on residu...
متن کاملA Bayesian approach for image denoising in MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a notable medical imaging technique that is based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). MRI is a safe imaging method with high contrast between soft tissues, which made it the most popular imaging technique in clinical applications. MR Imagechr('39')s visual quality plays a vital role in medical diagnostics that can be severely corrupted by existing noise duri...
متن کاملHallucinating Multiple Occluded CCTV Face Images of Different Resolutions
In this paper, we present a novel learning-based algorithm to super-resolve multiple partially occluded CCTV lowresolution face images. By integrating hierarchical patchwise alignment and inter-frame constraints into a Bayesian framework, we can probabilistically align multiple input images at different resolutions and recursively infer the high-resolution face image. We address the problem of ...
