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.

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.

기상과 기후는 인간의 생활과 밀접하게 연관되어 있다. 특히 고해상도 기상 데이터를 활용하여 정밀한 연구나 실생활에 유용한 서비스가 가능하므로, 고해상도 기상·기후 데이터를 생산해야할 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 기존의 고해상도 기상 데이터는 적절한 보간법에 따라 데이터를 생산하지만, 본 논문에서는 SRCNN을 이용하여 기온 데이터를 초해상화 하는 방안을 제안한다. 기온 데이터 초해상화에 가장 적절한 SRCNN 모델을 구축하고, 기온 데이터를 초해상화 한다. 결과 데이터를 평가하기 위해 역거리 가중법을 이용하여 비 관측 지점에 대한 기온을 구하고, 제안한 방법을 적용한 기온 데이터와 보간법을 이용한 기온 데이터를 비교한다. 비교 결과, 기온 데이터를 초해상화하기 위한 적절한 SRCNN 모델을 구축하였고, 제안한 방법이 보간법을 이용한 방법보다 약 10.8% 더 높은 예측 성능을 보였다.

This paper proposes a low complexity super resolution algorithm for frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar systems for foreign object debris (FOD) detection. FOD radar has a requirement to detect foreign object in small units in a large area. However, The fast Fourier transform (FFT) method, which is most widely used in FMCW radar, has a disadvantage in that it can not distinguish between adjacent targets. Super resolution algorithms have a significantly higher resolution compared with the detection algorithm based on FFT. However, in the case of the large number of samples, the computational complexity of the super resolution algorithms is drastically high and thus super resolution algorithms are difficult to apply to real time systems. In order to overcome this disadvantage of super resolution algorithm, first, the proposed algorithm coarsely obtains the frequency of the beat signal by employing FFT. Instead of using all the samples of the beat signal, the number of samples is adjusted according to the frequency of the beat signal. By doing so, the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the computational complexity of multiple signal classifier (MUSIC) algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed method achieves accurate location even though it has considerably lower complexity than the conventional super resolution algorithms.

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.

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.

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.

광학 위성 영상의 공간해상도가 낮게 되면 크기가 작은 객체들의 경우 객체 탐지의 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 위성 영상의 공간해상도를 향상시키는 초해상화(Super-resolution) 기술이 객체 탐지 정확도 향상에 대한 영향이 유의미한지 알아보고자 하였다. 쌍을 이루지 않는(unpaired) 초해상화 알고리즘을 이용하여 Sentinel-2 영상의 공간해상도를 3.2 m로 향상시켰으며, 객체 탐지 모델인 Faster-RCNN, RetinaNet, FCOS, S²ANet을 활용하여 초해상화 적용 유무에 따른 선박 탐지 정확도 변화를 확인했다. 그 결과 선박 탐지 모델의 성능 평가에서 초해상화가 적용된 영상으로 학습된 선박 탐지 모델들에서 Average Precision (AP)가 최소 12.3%, 최대 33.3% 향상됨을 확인하였고, 초해상화가 적용되지 않은 모델에 비해 미탐지 및 과탐지가 줄어듦을 보였다. 이는 초해상화 기술이 객체 탐지에서 중요한 전처리 단계가 될 수 있다는 것을 의미하고, 객체 탐지와 더불어 영상 기반의 다른 딥러닝 기술의 정확도 향상에도 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

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.
