چکیده

Super-resolution image zooming is possible when the image has some geometric regularity. Directional interpolation algorithms are used in industry, with ad-hoc regularity measurements. Sparse signal decompositions in dictionaries of curvelets or bandlets find indirectly the directions of regularity by optimizing the sparsity. However, super-resolution interpolations in such dictionaries do not outperform cubic spline interpolations. It is necessary to further constraint the sparse representation, which is done through projections over structured vector spaces. A space matching pursuit algorithm is introduced to compute image decompositions over spaces of bandlets, from which a super-resolution image zooming is derived. Numerical experiments illustrate the efficiency of this super-resolution procedure compared to cubic spline interpolations.

Super-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...

Sparse Coding Approach for Multi-Frame Image Super Resolution

An image super-resolution method from multiple observation of low-resolution images is proposed. The method is based on sub-pixel accuracy block matching for estimating relative displacements of observed images, and sparse signal representation for estimating the corresponding high-resolution image. Relative displacements of small patches of observed low-resolution images are accurately estimat...

Double Sparse Multi-Frame Image Super Resolution

A large number of image super resolution algorithms based on the sparse coding are proposed, and some algorithms realize the multi-frame super resolution. In multi-frame super resolution based on the sparse coding, both accurate image registration and sparse coding are required. Previous study on multi-frame super resolution based on sparse coding firstly apply block matching for image registra...

Multi-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...

Example-Based Learning for Single-Image Super-Resolution

This paper proposes a regression-based method for singleimage super-resolution. Kernel ridge regression (KRR) is used to estimate the high-frequency details of the underlying high-resolution image. A sparse solution of KRR is found by combining the ideas of kernel matching pursuit and gradient descent, which allows time-complexity to be kept to a moderate level. To resolve the problem of ringin...
