In this paper, we propose a consecutive-frame super-resolution method to tackle a moving object problem. The super-resolution is a method restoring a high resolution image from a low resolution image. The super-resolution is classified into two types, briefly, single-frame super-resolution and consecutive-frame super-resolution. Typically, the consecutive-frame super-resolution recovers a better than the single-frame super-resolution, because it use more information from consecutive frames. However, the consecutive-frame super-resolution failed to recover the moving object. Therefore, we proposed an improved method via moving object detection. Experimental results showed that the proposed method restored both the moving object and the background properly.

In this paper, we present a new image up-sampling method which registers low resolution images to the high resolution grid when Bayesian super-resolution image processing is performed. The proposed up-sampling method interpolates high-resolution pixels using high-frequency data lying in all the low resolution images, instead of up-sampling each low resolution image separately. The interpolation is based on B-spline non-uniform re-sampling, adjusted for the super-resolution image processing. The experimental results demonstrate the effects when different up-sampling methods generally used such as zero-padding or bilinear interpolation are applied to the super-resolution image reconstruction. Then, we show that the proposed hybird up-sampling method generates high-resolution images more accurately than conventional methods with quantitative and qualitative assess measures.

Super resolution image reconstruction method refers to image processing algorithms that produce a high resolution(HR) image from observed several low resolution(LR) images of the same scene. This method is proved to be useful in many practical cases where multiple frames of the same scene can be obtained, such as satellite imaging, video surveillance, video enhancement and restoration, digital mosaicking, and medical imaging. In this paper we applied super resolution reconstruction method in spatial domain to video sequences. Test images are adjacently sampled images from continuous video sequences and overlapped for high rate. We constructed the observation model between the HR images and LR images applied by the Maximum A Posteriori(MAP) reconstruction method that is one of the major methods in the super resolution grid construction. Based on this method, we reconstructed high resolution images from low resolution images and compared the results with those from other known interpolation methods.

본 논문은 집적영상의 요소영상을 초해상도 영상복원에 이용하여 집적영상의 해상도를 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 집적영상에서 전체 요소영상의 인접한 단일 요소영상들 사이에는 대상물체의 동일한 부분의 상을 포함하는 공통부분이 존재한다. 이러한 공통부분들을 초해상도 영상복원의 저해상도 영상으로 이용하게 되면 CCD(Charge Coupled Device) 등의 영상취득 장치의 제한된 해상도로 인한 집적영상의 낮은 해상도 문제를 보완 할 수 있게 된다. 전체 요소영상과 제안된 방법을 이용하여 해상도를 향상시킨 전체 요소영상을 비교하여 제안된 방법의 타당성을 증명하였다.

This paper proposes super-resolution reconstruction algorithm for image enhancement. Super-resolution reconstruction algorithms reconstruct a high-resolution image from multi-frame low-resolution images of a scene. Conventional super- resolution reconstruction algorithms are iterative back-projection(IBP), robust super-resolution(RS)method and standard Papoulis-Gerchberg(PG)method. However, traditional methods have some problems such as rotation and ringing. So, this paper proposes modified algorithm to improve the problem. Experimental results show that this proposed algorithm solve the problem. As a result, the proposed method showed an increase in the PSNR for traditional super-resolution reconstruction algorithms.

The machine-vision based structural displacement measurement methods are widely used due to its flexible deployment and non-contact measurement characteristics. The accuracy of vision measurement is directly related to the image resolution. In the field of computer vision, super-resolution reconstruction is an emerging method to improve image resolution. Particularly, the deep-learning based image super-resolution methods have shown great potential for improving image resolution and thus the machine-vision based measurement. In this article, we firstly review the latest progress of several deep learning based super-resolution models, together with the public benchmark datasets and the performance evaluation index. Secondly, we construct a binocular visual measurement platform to measure the distances of the adjacent corners on a chessboard that is universally used as a target when measuring the structure displacement via machine-vision based approaches. And then, several typical deep learning based super resolution algorithms are employed to improve the visual measurement performance. Experimental results show that super-resolution reconstruction technology can improve the accuracy of distance measurement of adjacent corners. According to the experimental results, one can find that the measurement accuracy improvement of the super resolution algorithms is not consistent with the existing quantitative performance evaluation index. Lastly, the current challenges and future trends of super resolution algorithms for visual measurement applications are pointed out.

Images with high resolution are desired and often required in many visual applications. When resolution can not be improved by replacing sensors, either because of cost or hardware physical limits, super resolution image reconstruction method is what can be resorted to. Super resolution image reconstruction method refers to image processing algorithms that produce high quality and high resolution images from a set of low quality and low resolution images. The method is proved to be useful in many practical cases where multiple frames of the same scene can be obtained, including satellite imaging, video surveillance, video enhancement and restoration, digital mosaicking, and medical imaging. The method can be either the frequency domain approach or the spatial domain approach. Much of the earlier works concentrated on the frequency domain formulation, but as more general degradation models were considered, later researches had been almost exclusively on spatial domain formulations. The method in spatial domains has three stages: i) motion estimate or image registration, ii) interpolation onto high resolution grid and iii) deblurring process. The super resolution grid construction in the second stage was discussed in this paper. We applied the Maximum A­Posteriori(MAP) reconstruction method that is one of the major methods in the super resolution grid construction. Based on this method, we reconstructed high resolution images from a set of low resolution images and compared the results with those from other known interpolation methods.

In this paper, we propose a super-resolution method that reconstructs compressed low-resolution images into high-resolution images. We propose a CNN model with a small number of parameters, and even if quantization is applied to the proposed model, super-resolution can be implemented without deteriorating the image quality. To further improve the quality of the compressed low-resolution image, a new degradation model was proposed instead of the existing bicubic degradation model. The proposed degradation model is used only in the training process and can be applied by changing only the parameter values to the original CNN model. In the super-resolution image applying the proposed degradation model, visual artifacts caused by image compression were effectively removed. As a result, our proposed method generates higher PSNR values at compressed images and shows better visual quality, compared to conventional CNN-based SR methods.

Using soft classification, it is possible to obtain the land cover proportions from the remotely sensed image. These land cover proportions are then used as input data for a procedure called "super-resolution mapping" to produce the predicted hard land cover layers at higher resolution than the original remotely sensed image. Superresolution mapping can be implemented using a number of algorithms in which the Hopfield Neural Network (HNN) has showed some advantages. The HNN has improved the land cover classification through superresolution mapping greatly with the high resolution data. However, the super-resolution mapping is based on the spatial dependence assumption, therefore it is predicted that the accuracy of resulted land cover classes depends on the relative size of spatial features and the spatial resolution of the remotely sensed image. This research is to evaluate the capability of HNN to implement the super-resolution mapping for SPOT image to create higher resolution land cover classes with different zoom factor.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been used extensively in recent times to solve image classification and segmentation problems. However, the use of CNNs in image super-resolution problems remains largely unexploited. Filter interpolation and prediction model methods are the most commonly used algorithms in super-resolution algorithm implementations. The major limitation in the above named methods is that images become totally blurred and a lot of the edge information are lost. In this paper, we analyze super resolution based on CNN and the wavelet transform super resolution method. We compare and analyze the performance according to the number of layers and the training data of the CNN.
