Robust, object-based high-resolution image reconstruction from low-resolution video

摘要

We propose a robust, object-based approach to high-resolution image reconstruction from video using the projections onto convex sets (POCS) framework. The proposed method employs a validity map and/or a segmentation map. The validity map disables projections based on observations with inaccurate motion information for robust reconstruction in the presence of motion estimation errors; while the segmentation map enables object-based processing where more accurate motion models can be utilized to improve the quality of the reconstructed image. Procedures for the computation of the validity map and segmentation map are presented. Experimental results demonstrate the improvement in image quality that can be achieved by the proposed methods.
