Abstract

Many super-resolution reconstruction algorithms have been proposed since it was the first proposed in 1984. The spatial domain approach of the super-resolution reconstruction methods is accomplished by mapping the low resolution image pixels into the high resolution image pixels. Generally, a super-resolution reconstruction algorithm by using the spatial domain approach has the noise problem because the low resolution images have different noise component, different PSF, and distortion, etc. In this paper, we proposed the new super-resolution reconstruction method that uses the L1 norm to minimize noise source and also uses the Huber norm to preserve edges of image. The proposed algorithm obtained the higher image quality of the result high resolution image comparing with other algorithms by experiment.

1984년 처음 SR 알고리즘이 제안된 이후, 많은 SR 복원 알고리즘이 제안되었다 SR의 접근방법 중에서도 공간적 접근방법은 저해상도 이미지의 픽셀 값을 고해상도 이미지 격자에 매핑 함으로써 이루어진다. 이때, 저해상도 이미지들 간의 각각 다른 노이즈와 다른 PSF(Point Spread Function) 함수, 왜곡으로 인해 매핑 시 문제가 된다. 때문에 저해상도 이미지들의 노이즈 성분을 최소화하는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 노이즈 성분을 최소화하는 방법으로 L1 norm의 방법을 사용하고 이와 동시에 이미지의 경계를 보완해주는 Huber norm을 사용하는 SR의 구조를 제안한다. 실험에서는 타 알고리즘과의 비교를 통해 제안한 알고리즘이 저해상도 이미지 상에 존재하는 노이즈를 줄이고 이미지 경계부분의 보완을 확인하였다.
