SELF-TRAINING SUPER-RESOLUTION

In this paper, we describe self-training super-resolution. Our approach is based on example based algorithms. Example based algorithms need training images, and selection of those changes the result of the algorithm. Consequently it is important to choose training images. We propose self-training based super-resolution algorithm which use an input image itself as a training image. It seems like other example based super-resolution methods, but we consider training phase as the step to collect primitive information of the input image. And some artifacts along the edge are visible in applying example based algorithms. We reduce those artifacts giving weights in consideration of the edge direction. We demonstrate the performance of our approach is reasonable several synthetic images and real images.
