This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-frame image super-resolution focuses on reconstructing a high-resolution image from a set of low-resolution images with high similarity. Since super-resolution is an ill-posted problem, regularization techniques are widely used to constrain the minimization function. Combining image prior knowledge with fidelity model, Bayesian-based methods can effectively solve this ill-posed problem, which makes this kind of methods more popular than other methods. Our proposed model is based on maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) estimation. In this thesis, we propose a novel initialization method based on median operator to initialize our estimated high-resolution image. For the fidelity term in our proposed algorithm, the half-quadratic estimation is used to choose error norm adaptively instead of using fixed L1 or L2 norm. Furthermore, for our regularization term, we propose a novel regularization method based on Difference Curvature (DC) and Bilateral Total Variation (BTV) to suppress mixed noises and preserve image edges simultaneously. In our experimental results, synthetic data and real data are both tested to demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method in terms of clearer texture and less noise over other state-of-the-art methods.

Download or read book Multi frame Reconstruction Using Super resolution Inpainting Segmentation and Codecs written by Vahid Khorasani Ghassab and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, different aspects of video and light field reconstruction are considered such as super-resolution, inpainting, segmentation and codecs. For this purpose, each of these strategies are analyzed based on a specific goal and a specific database. Accordingly, databases which are relevant to film industry, sport videos, light fields and hyperspectral videos are used for the sake of improvement. This thesis is constructed around six related manuscripts, in which several approaches are proposed for multi-frame reconstruction. Initially, a novel multi-frame reconstruction strategy is proposed for lightfield super-resolution in which graph-based regularization is applied along with edge preserving filtering for improving the spatio-angular quality of lightfield. Second, a novel video reconstruction is proposed which is built based on compressive sensing (CS), Gaussian mixture models (GMM) and sparse 3D transform-domain block matching. The motivation of the proposed technique is the improvement in visual quality performance of the video frames and decreasing the reconstruction error in comparison with the former video reconstruction methods. In the next approach, student-t mixture models and edge preserving filtering are applied for the purpose of video super-resolution. Student-t mixture model has a heavy tail which makes it robust and suitable as a video frame patch prior and rich in terms of log likelihood for information retrieval. In another approach, a hyperspectral video database is considered, and a Bayesian dictionary learning process is used for hyperspectral video super-resolution. To that end, Beta process is used in Bayesian dictionary learning and a sparse coding is generated regarding the hyperspectral video super-resolution. The spatial super-resolution is followed by a spectral video restoration strategy, and the whole process leveraged two different dictionary learnings, in which the first one is trained for spatial super-resolution and the second one is trained for the spectral restoration. Furthermore, in another approach, a novel framework is proposed for replacing advertisement contents in soccer videos in an automatic way by using deep learning strategies. For this purpose, a UNET architecture is applied (an image segmentation convolutional neural network technique) for content segmentation and detection. Subsequently, after reconstructing the segmented content in the video frames (considering the apparent loss in detection), the unwanted content is replaced by new one using a homography mapping procedure. In addition, in another research work, a novel video compression framework is presented using autoencoder networks that encode and decode videos by using less chroma information than luma information. For this purpose, instead of converting Y'CbCr 4:2:2/4:2:0 videos to and from RGB 4:4:4, the video is kept in Y'CbCr 4:2:2/4:2:0 and merged the luma and chroma channels after the luma is downsampled to match the chroma size. An inverse function is performed for the decoder. The performance of these models is evaluated by using CPSNR, MS-SSIM, and VMAF metrics. The experiments reveal that, as compared to video compression involving conversion to and from RGB 4:4:4, the proposed method increases the video quality by about 5.5% for Y'CbCr 4:2:2 and 8.3% for Y'CbCr 4:2:0 while reducing the amount of computation by nearly 37% for Y'CbCr 4:2:2 and 40% for Y'CbCr 4:2:0. The thread that ties these approaches together is reconstruction of the video and light field frames based on different aspects of problems such as having loss of information, blur in the frames, existing noise after reconstruction, existing unpleasant content, excessive size of information and high computational overhead. In three of the proposed approaches, we have used Plug-and-Play ADMM model for the first time regarding reconstruction of videos and light fields in order to address both information retrieval in the frames and tackling noise/blur at the same time. In two of the proposed models, we applied sparse dictionary learning to reduce the data dimension and demonstrate them as an efficient linear combination of basis frame patches. Two of the proposed approaches are developed in collaboration with industry, in which deep learning frameworks are used to handle large set of features and to learn high-level features from the data.

Download or read book Motion Analysis and Image Sequence Processing written by M. Ibrahim Sezan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An image or video sequence is a series of two-dimensional (2-D) images sequen tially ordered in time. Image sequences can be acquired, for instance, by video, motion picture, X-ray, or acoustic cameras, or they can be synthetically gen erated by sequentially ordering 2-D still images as in computer graphics and animation. The use of image sequences in areas such as entertainment, visual communications, multimedia, education, medicine, surveillance, remote control, and scientific research is constantly growing as the use of television and video systems are becoming more and more common. The boosted interest in digital video for both consumer and professional products, along with the availability of fast processors and memory at reasonable costs, has been a major driving force behind this growth. Before we elaborate on the two major terms that appear in the title of this book, namely motion analysis and image sequence processing, we like to place them in their proper contexts within the range of possible operations that involve image sequences. In this book, we choose to classify these operations into three major categories, namely (i) image sequence processing, (ii) image sequence analysis, and (iii) visualization. The interrelationship among these three categories is pictorially described in Figure 1 below in the form of an "image sequence triangle".
Download or read book Zoom Based Robust Super resolution written by Swetha Prasad and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Author's abstract] The recent increase in the wide use of digital imaging technologies in consumer (e.g., digital video) and other markets (e.g., security and military) has brought with it a simultaneous demand for higher resolution images, or super resolution images, as popularly termed. Most of the super resolution techniques available in literature assume a Gaussian noise model which restricts their applicability and analysis to a particular data set. In order to make the reconstruction framework robust to the impulsive noise, a more generalized model is necessary. This thesis investigates a technique called zoom based robust super resolution technique to reconstruct a super resolved image from a set of low resolution images zoomed to different zoom factors. The proposed reconstruction algorithm based on the M estimator method effectively combats the impulsive noise present in the low resolution images. This robustness of the proposed algorithm is also confirmed by the numerical results.

Download or read book A Multi frame Super resolution Algorithm Using Pocs and Wavelet written by Chiu-Chih Chen and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Super-Resolution (SR) is a generic term, referring to a series of digital image processing techniques in which a high resolution (HR) image is reconstructed from a set of low resolution (LR) video frames or images. In other words, a HR image is obtained by integrating several LR frames captured from the same scene within a very short period of time. Constructing a SR image is a process that may require a lot of computational resources. To solve this problem, the SR reconstruction process involves 3 steps, namely image registration, degrading function estimation and image restoration. In this thesis, the fundamental process steps in SR image reconstruction algorithms are first introduced. Several known SR image reconstruction approaches are then discussed in detail. These SR reconstruction methods include: (1) traditional interpolation, (2) the frequency domain approach, (3) the inverse back-projection (IBP), (4) the conventional projections onto convex sets (POCS) and (5) regularized inverse optimization. Based on the analysis of some of the existing methods, a Wavelet-based POCS SR image reconstruction method is proposed. The new method is an extension of the conventional POCS method, that performs some convex projection operations in the Wavelet domain. The stochastic Wavelet coefficient refinement technique is used to adjust the Wavelet sub-image coefficients of the estimated HR image according to the stochastic F-distribution in order to eliminate the noisy or wrongly estimated pixels. The proposed SR method enhances the resulting quality of the reconstructed HR image, while retaining the simplicity of the conventional POCS method as well as increasing the convergence speed of POCS iterations. Simulation results show that the proposed Wavelet-based POCS iterative algorithm has led to some distinct features and performance improvement as compared to some of the SR approaches reviewed in this thesis.
Download or read book Multi Frame Super Resolution Techniques and Applications written by Shima Izadpanahi and published by Scholars' Press. This book was released on 2019-02-06 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Image Resolution is the most important quality factor of videos and images. Multi-frame Super-resolution (SR) is the process of creating a higher resolution image with finer details, by using the information of multiple low-resolution images taken from almost the same scene. In recent years images with higher resolution became the most primary requirement in many of the image processing applications, such as scientific applications, medical imaging, robotics, video sequences and satellite imaging. This book aimed at providing a good guide in analyzing the most appropriate multi-frame super-resolution methods based on spatial and frequency domain. It also presents an optimized method which can be used for many image enhancement applications.
