시간적 초해상도 기법은 일반 카메라로 찍은 영상을 고속카메라로 찍은 영상과 같이 보일 수 있도록 프레임률을 증가시키는 방법이다. 전자광학 센서는 다양한 감시정찰 무기체계에 탑재되는데, 각 무기체계별 작전요구성능에 따라 필요로 하는 전자광학 센서의 공간적 해상도와 시간적 해상도가 달라진다. 대부분의 영상센서가 30~60 프레임/초로 영상을 촬영하기 때문에, 표적의 이동 및 변화가 이보다 더 빠른 경우 프레임률의 증가가 필요하다. 본 논문은 채널별 색상정보 외삽법을 활용하여 프레임률을 증가시키는 기법을 제안한다. DMD의 각 화소를 카메라 센서의 각 화소와 정합한 후, 카메라 센서의 베이어 패턴에 맞추어 각 채널별로 화소 그룹을 분리한다. DMD를 이용해 일반 카메라의 한 프레임이 채널별로 서로 다른 연속된 노출 시간을 가지도록 조절하여, 촬영한 영상을 프레임률이 증가한 단일채널 영상으로 변환한다. 옵티컬 플로우 기법을 활용하여 각 채널별로 시점에 맞는 가상의 영상을 생성하여, 프레임률이 증가한 단일채널 영상을 컬러채널 영상으로 만들었다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 시간적 초해상도 기법의 성능을 확인하였다.

In conventional far-field microscopy, two objects separated closer than approximately half of an emission wavelength cannot be resolved, because of the fundamental limitation known as Abbe's diffraction limit. During the last decade, several super-resolution methods have been developed to overcome the diffraction limit in optical imaging. Among them, super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) developed by Dertinger et al [1], employs the statistical analysis of temporal fluorescence fluctuations induced by blinking phenomena in fluorophores. SOFI is a simple and versatile method for super-resolution imaging. However, due to the uncontrollable blinking of fluorophores, there are some limitations to using SOFI for several applications, including the limitations of available blinking fluorophores for SOFI, a requirement of using a high-speed camera, and a low signal-to-noise ratio. To solve these limitations, we present a new approach combining SOFI with speckle pattern illumination to create illumination-induced optical fluctuation instead of blinking fluctuation of fluorophore.. This technique effectively overcome the limitations of the conventional SOFI since illumination-induced optical fluctuation is possible to control unlike blinking phenomena of fluorophore. And we present the sub-diffraction resolution image using SOFI with speckle illumination.

The fine-tuned neural network (NN) model for a whole temporal portion in a video does not always yield the best quality (e.g., PSNR) performance over all regions of each frame in the temporal period. For certain regions (usually homogeneous regions) in a frame for super-resolution (SR), even a simple bicubic interpolation method may yield better PSNR performance than the fine-tuned NN model. When there are multiple NN models available at the receivers where each NN model is trained for a group of images having a specific category of image characteristics, the performance of Quality enhancement can be improved by selectively applying an appropriate NN model for each image region according to its image characteristic category to which the NN model was dedicatedly trained. In this case, it is necessary to signal which NN model is applied for each region. This is very advantageous for image restoration and quality enhancement (IRQE) applications at user terminals with limited computing capabilities.

Content-adaptive training and transmission of the model parameters of neural networks can boost up the SR performance with higher restoration fidelity. In this case, efficient transmission of neural network parameters are essentially needed. Thus, we propose a novel method of compressing the network model parameters based on the training of network model parameters in the sense that the residues of filter parameters and content loss are jointly minimized. So, the residues of filter parameters are only transmitted to receiver sides for different temporal portions of video under consideration. This is advantage for image restoration applications with receivers (user terminals) of low complexity. In this case, the user terminals are assumed to have a limited computation and storage resource.

Post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) is commonly employed in the field of forensic pathology. PMCT was mainly performed using a whole-body scan with a wide field of view (FOV), which lead to a decrease in spatial resolution due to the increased pixel size. This study aims to evaluate the potential for developing a super-resolution model based on conditional generative adversarial networks (CGAN) to enhance the image quality of CT. 1761 low-resolution images were obtained using a whole-body scan with a wide FOV of the head phantom, and 341 high-resolution images were obtained using the appropriate FOV for the head phantom. Of the 150 paired images in the total dataset, which were divided into training set (96 paired images) and validation set (54 paired images). Data augmentation was perform to improve the effectiveness of training by implementing rotations and flips. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, we used the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) and Deep Image Structure and Texture Similarity (DISTS). Obtained the PSNR, SSIM, and DISTS values of the entire image and the Medial orbital wall, the zygomatic arch, and the temporal bone, where fractures often occur during head trauma. The proposed method demonstrated improvements in values of PSNR by 13.14%, SSIM by 13.10% and DISTS by 45.45% when compared to low-resolution images. The image quality of the three areas where fractures commonly occur during head trauma has also improved compared to low-resolution images.
