New Techniques to Conquer the Image Resolution Enhancement Problem
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 7, 13-51, 2008
Abstract
This paper presents some new techniques for high resolution (HR) image processing and compares between them. The paper focuses on two main topics, image interpolation and image superresolution. By image interpolation, we mean extracting an HR image from a single Degraded low resolution (LR) image. Polynomial based image interpolation is reviewed. Some new techniques for adaptive image interpolation and inverse image interpolation are presented. The other topic treated in this paper is image super-resolution. By image super resolution, we mean extracting a single HR image either from multiple observations or multiple frames. The paper focuses on the problem of image super resolution using wavelet fusion and presents several super resolution reconstruction algorithms based on the idea of wavelet fusion.
