Single Frame Image super Resolution using Learned Directionlets
In this paper, a new directionally adaptive, learning based, single image
super resolution method using multiple direction wavelet transform, called
Directionlets is presented. This method uses directionlets to effectively
capture directional features and to extract edge information along different
directions of a set of available high resolution images .This information is
used as the training set for super resolving a low resolution input image and
the Directionlet coefficients at finer scales of its high-resolution image are
learned locally from this training set and the inverse Directionlet transform
recovers the super-resolved high resolution image. The simulation results
showed that the proposed approach outperforms standard interpolation techniques
like Cubic spline interpolation as well as standard Wavelet-based learning,
both visually and in terms of the mean squared error (mse) values. This method
gives good result with aliased images also.Comment: 14 pages,6 figure
Image Super-Resolution via Dual-Dictionary Learning And Sparse Representation
Learning-based image super-resolution aims to reconstruct high-frequency (HF)
details from the prior model trained by a set of high- and low-resolution image
patches. In this paper, HF to be estimated is considered as a combination of
two components: main high-frequency (MHF) and residual high-frequency (RHF),
and we propose a novel image super-resolution method via dual-dictionary
learning and sparse representation, which consists of the main dictionary
learning and the residual dictionary learning, to recover MHF and RHF
respectively. Extensive experimental results on test images validate that by
employing the proposed two-layer progressive scheme, more image details can be
recovered and much better results can be achieved than the state-of-the-art
algorithms in terms of both PSNR and visual perception.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, 1 table, to be published at IEEE Int. Symposium

Super-resolution of faces using texture mapping on a generic 3D model
This paper proposes a novel face texture mapping framework to transform faces with different poses into a unique texture map. Under this framework, texture mapping can be realized by utilizing a generic 3D face model, standard Haar-like feature based detector, active appearance model and pose estimation algorithm. By this texture map, correspondence of every pixel at the face across multiple distinct input images can then be established, which enables super-resolution algorithms to be applied directly on registered texture map to render high resolution faces. This paper details the proposed framework, and illustrates how the proposed super-resolution algorithm works with the help of weighted average and median filters. Convincing experimental results are also presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework and superresolution algorithm. © 2009 IEEE.published_or_final_versio
