Robust Super-resolution for UAS Video Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have been widely applied for reconnaissance and surveillance by exploiting the information collected from the digital imaging payload. However, the analysis of real surveillance video is limited from time to time because of the constraints of imaging equipment, winds buffeting the vehicle, less than ideal atmospheric conditions, etc. As a consequence, the superresolution (SR) on low-resolution (LR) UAS surveillance video frames, becomes a critical requirement for UAS video processing and an important pre-step for further effective image understanding. In this paper we develop a novel robust super-resolution framework which does not require the construction of sparse matrices. The proposed method implements image operations in the spatial domain and applies an iterative process to construct super-resolution images from the overlapping UAS surveillance video frames. Our method adopts the sum of forward-projection fitting errors (from SR images to LR images) and backward-projection fitting errors (from LR images to SR images) as the optimization measure. The proposed algorithm has been tested on two sets of real UAS video data and its performance is compared with those from other SR algorithms. The experimental outcomes show the good performance of the proposed algorithm in comparison with other algorithms. Keywords—Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS); iterative process; super-resolution; robust estimation

Performance Evaluation of Optimization Methods for Super- resolution Mosaicking on UAS Surveillance Videos
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have been widely applied for reconnaissance and surveillance by exploiting the information collected from the digital imaging payload. However, the data analysis of UAS videos is frequently limited by motion blur; the frame-to-frame movement induced by aircraft roll, wind gusts, and less than ideal atmospheric conditions; and the noise inherent within the image s...

Unmanned Aircraft Systems have been used in many military and civil applications, particularly surveillance. However, video frames are often blurry, noisy, and exhibit insufficient spatial resolution. This project aims to develop a vision-based algorithm to improve the quality of UAS video frames. This algorithm will be able to generate high resolution mosaic output through a combination of ima...
متن کاملSuper-Resolution Reconstruction by Image Fusion and Application to Surveillance Videos Captured by Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems
In practice, surveillance video captured by a small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) digital imaging payload is almost always blurred and degraded because of limits of the imaging equipment and less than ideal atmospheric conditions. Small UAS vehicles typically have wingspans of less than four meters and payload carrying capacities of less than 50 kilograms, which results in a high vibration env...

Super-resolution (SR) aims to overcome the ill-posed conditions of image acquisition. SR facilitates scene recognition from low-resolution image(s). Generally assumes that high and low resolution images share similar intrinsic geometries. Various approaches have tried to aggregate the informative details of multiple low-resolution images into a high-resolution one. In this paper, we present a n...
