Details | In reconstruction-based super resolution, a high-resolution image is estimated using multiple low-resolution images with sub-pixel misalignments. Therefore, when only one low-resolution image is available, it is generally difficult to obtain a favorable image. This letter proposes a method for overcoming this difficulty for single- image super resolution. In our method, after interpolating pixel values at sub-pixel locations on a patch-by-patch basis by support vector regression, in which learning samples are collected within the given image based on local similarities, we solve the regularized reconstruction problem with a sufficient number of constraints. Evaluation experiments were performed for artificial and natural images, and the obtained high-resolution images indicate the high-frequency components favorably along with improved PSNRs. |
