An Efficient Algorithm for Video Super-Resolution Based On a Sequential Model
In this work, we propose a novel procedure for video super-resolution, that
is the recovery of a sequence of high-resolution images from its low-resolution
counterpart. Our approach is based on a "sequential" model (i.e., each
high-resolution frame is supposed to be a displaced version of the preceding
one) and considers the use of sparsity-enforcing priors. Both the recovery of
the high-resolution images and the motion fields relating them is tackled. This
leads to a large-dimensional, non-convex and non-smooth problem. We propose an
algorithmic framework to address the latter. Our approach relies on fast
gradient evaluation methods and modern optimization techniques for
non-differentiable/non-convex problems. Unlike some other previous works, we
show that there exists a provably-convergent method with a complexity linear in
the problem dimensions. We assess the proposed optimization method on {several
video benchmarks and emphasize its good performance with respect to the state
of the art.}Comment: 37 pages, SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences, 201
Proceedings of the second "international Traveling Workshop on Interactions between Sparse models and Technology" (iTWIST'14)
The implicit objective of the biennial "international - Traveling Workshop on
Interactions between Sparse models and Technology" (iTWIST) is to foster
collaboration between international scientific teams by disseminating ideas
through both specific oral/poster presentations and free discussions. For its
second edition, the iTWIST workshop took place in the medieval and picturesque
town of Namur in Belgium, from Wednesday August 27th till Friday August 29th,
2014. The workshop was conveniently located in "The Arsenal" building within
walking distance of both hotels and town center. iTWIST'14 has gathered about
70 international participants and has featured 9 invited talks, 10 oral
presentations, and 14 posters on the following themes, all related to the
theory, application and generalization of the "sparsity paradigm":
Sparsity-driven data sensing and processing; Union of low dimensional
subspaces; Beyond linear and convex inverse problem; Matrix/manifold/graph
sensing/processing; Blind inverse problems and dictionary learning; Sparsity
and computational neuroscience; Information theory, geometry and randomness;
Complexity/accuracy tradeoffs in numerical methods; Sparsity? What's next?;
Sparse machine learning and inference.Comment: 69 pages, 24 extended abstracts, iTWIST'14 website:
