The paper proposes an image super resolution reconstruction algorithm based on sparse representation and the UV chroma processing. For each patch of the low resolution input images, a sparse representation is sought to generate the high-resolution output. The sparse representation of a low resolution image patch can be applied to generate a high resolution image patch through dictionary learning. To further improve the effects of super resolution images, the UV chroma processing based on super resolution luminance information with bilateral filtering is put forward as well. The experimental results show the method in this paper obtains better outcomes no matter in visual effects or in the quality measures of RMSE and SSIM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
