Abstract:In this paper, we propose a method that recovers a smooth high-resolution image from several blurred and roughly quantized low-resolution images. For compensation of the quantization effect we introduce a measurement of smoothness originally used for suppression of block noises in a JPEG compressed image [Schultz & Stevenson '94]. With a simple operator that approximates to the convex projection onto constraint set defined for each quantized image [Hasegawa et.al. '05], we propose a method that minimizes these… Show more
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.
