Depth Superresolution using Motion Adaptive Regularization
Spatial resolution of depth sensors is often significantly lower compared to
that of conventional optical cameras. Recent work has explored the idea of
improving the resolution of depth using higher resolution intensity as a side
information. In this paper, we demonstrate that further incorporating temporal
information in videos can significantly improve the results. In particular, we
propose a novel approach that improves depth resolution, exploiting the
space-time redundancy in the depth and intensity using motion-adaptive low-rank
regularization. Experiments confirm that the proposed approach substantially
improves the quality of the estimated high-resolution depth. Our approach can
be a first component in systems using vision techniques that rely on high
resolution depth information
Recent Progress in Image Deblurring
This paper comprehensively reviews the recent development of image
deblurring, including non-blind/blind, spatially invariant/variant deblurring
techniques. Indeed, these techniques share the same objective of inferring a
latent sharp image from one or several corresponding blurry images, while the
blind deblurring techniques are also required to derive an accurate blur
kernel. Considering the critical role of image restoration in modern imaging
systems to provide high-quality images under complex environments such as
motion, undesirable lighting conditions, and imperfect system components, image
deblurring has attracted growing attention in recent years. From the viewpoint
of how to handle the ill-posedness which is a crucial issue in deblurring
tasks, existing methods can be grouped into five categories: Bayesian inference
framework, variational methods, sparse representation-based methods,
homography-based modeling, and region-based methods. In spite of achieving a
certain level of development, image deblurring, especially the blind case, is
limited in its success by complex application conditions which make the blur
kernel hard to obtain and be spatially variant. We provide a holistic
understanding and deep insight into image deblurring in this review. An
analysis of the empirical evidence for representative methods, practical
issues, as well as a discussion of promising future directions are also
presented.Comment: 53 pages, 17 figure
