Laser Scanner Super-resolution

چکیده
We give a method for improving the resolution of surfaces captured with a laser range scanner by combining many very similar scans. This idea is an application of the 2D image processing technique known as superresolution. The input lower-resolution scans are each randomly shifted, so that each one contributes slightly different information to the final model. Noise is reduced by averaging the input scans.

Super-resolution of Point Set Surfaces using Local Similarities
3D scanners provide a virtual representation of object surfaces at some given precision that depends on many factors such as the object material, the quality of the laser-ray or the resolution of the camera. This precision may even vary over the surface, depending for example on the distance to the scanner which results in uneven and unstructured point sets, with an uncertainty on the coordinat...
متن کاملSmall-animal imaging using clinical positron emission tomography/computed tomography and super-resolution.
Considering the high cost of dedicated small-animal positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), an acceptable alternative in many situations might be clinical PET/CT. However, spatial resolution and image quality are of concern. The utility of clinical PET/CT for small-animal research and image quality improvements from super-resolution (spatial subsampling) were investigated. Na...
متن کاملThe effect of focal spot size on the spatial resolution of variable resolution X-ray CT scanner
Background: A variable resolution X-ray (VRX) CT scanner provides a great increase in the spatial resolution. In VRX CT scanners, the spatial resolution of the system and its field of view (FOV) can be changed according to the object size. One of the main factors that limit the spatial resolution of VRX CT scanner is the effect of the X-ray focal spot. Materials and Methods: A theoreti...
متن کاملSingle-shot and single-sensor high/super-resolution microwave imaging based on metasurface
Real-time high-resolution (including super-resolution) imaging with low-cost hardware is a long sought-after goal in various imaging applications. Here, we propose broadband single-shot and single-sensor high-/super-resolution imaging by using a spatio-temporal dispersive metasurface and an imaging reconstruction algorithm. The metasurface with spatio-temporal dispersive property ensures the fe...
متن کاملA Scanner-Model-Based Approach to Bitmap Clustering and Document Image Improvement
We describe a method for improving scanned or faxed document images. As in the previous work of Hobby and Ho, our approach clusters together instances of the same symbol from all over the page and then computes a super-resolved representative for each cluster. Unlike the previous work, our method assumes a probabilistic model of the scanning process, and uses this model in both the clustering a...
