[01]Anchored Neighborhood Regression for Fast Example-Based Super-Resolution
Abstract
Recently there have been significant advances in image upscaling or image super-resolution based on a dictionary of low and high resolution exemplarys. The running time of the methods is often ignored despite the fact that it is a critical factor for real applications. This paper proposes fast super-resolution methods while making no compromise on quality. First, we support the use of sparse learned dictionaries in combination with neighbor embedding methods. In this case, the nearest neighbors are computed using the correlation with the dictionary atoms rather than the Euclidean distance. Moreover, we show that most of the current approaches reach top performance for the right parameters. Second, we show that using global collaborative coding has considerable speed advantages, reducing the super-resolution mapping to a precomputed projective matrix. Third, we propose the anchored neighborhood regression. That is to anchor the neighborhood embedding of a low resolution patch to the nearest atom in the dictionary and to precompute the corresponding embedding matrix. These proposals are contrasted with current state-of-art methods on standard images. We obtain similar or improved quality and one or two orders of magnitude speed improvements.
[02]A+:Adjusted Anchored Neighborhood Regression for Fast Super-Resolution
Abstract
We address the problem of image upscaling in the form of single image super-resolution based on a dictionary of low- and high-resolution exemplarys. Two recently proposed methods, Anchored Neighborhood Regression (ANR)and Simple Function (SF), provide state-of-the-art quality performance. Moreover, ANR is among the fastest known super-resolution methods. ANR learns sparse dictionaries and regressors anchored to the dictionary atoms. SF relies on clusters and corresponding learned functions. We propose A+, an improved variant of ANR, which combines the best qualities of ANR and SF. A+ builds on the features and anchored regression from ANR but instead of learning the regressors on the dictionary it uses the full training material, similar to SF. We validate our method on standard images and compare with state-of-the-art methods. We obtain improved quality, rendering A+ the most efficient dictionary-Based super-resolution method to date.
[03]single image super-resolution :A comparative study
The majority of applications requiring high resolution images to derive and analyze data accurately and easily. Image super-resolution is playing an effective role in those applications. Image super-resolution is the process of producing high resolution image from low Resolution image. In this paper, we study various image super Resolution techniques with respect to the quality of results and processing time. This comparative study introduces a comparison between four algorithms of single image super-resolution. For fair comparison, the compared algorithms are tested on the same dataset and same platform to show the major advantages of one over the others.
[04] Depth Image Super-resolution :A review and Wavelet Perspective
We propose an algorithm with utilizes the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)to super-resolve the low-resolution(LR) depth image to a high-resolution(HR) depth image. Commercially available depth cameras capture depth images at a very low-resolution as compared to that of the optical cameras. Having an high-resolution depth camera is expensive because of the manufacturing cost of the depth sensor element. In many applications like robot navigation, human-machine interaction (HMI), surveillance, 3D viewing, etc.
This paper also contributes to the compilation of the existing methods for depth image super-resolution with their advantages and disadvantages, along with a proposed method to super-resolve depth image using DWT. Haar basis for DWT has been used as it has an intrinsic relationship with super-resolution (SR) for retaining the edges. The proposed method has been tested on Middlebury and Tsukuba dataset and compared with the conventional interpolation methods using peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM) performance metrics.
