Spatial Resolution Enhancement of Low-Resolution Image Sequences A Comprehensive Review with Directions for Future Research
Sean Borman, Robert Louis Stevenson · 1998
Recent years have seen growing interest in the problem of super-resolution restoration of video sequences. Whereas in the traditional single image restoration problem only a single input image is available for processing, the task of reconstructing super-resolution images from multiple undersampled and degraded images can take advantage of the additional spatiotemporal data available in the image sequence. In particular, camera and scene motion lead to frames in the source video sequence containing similar, but not identical information. The additional information available in these frames make possible reconstruction of visually superior frames at higher resolution than that of the original data. In this paper we review the current state of the art and identify promising directions for future research.
