Super-Resolution Of Unmanned Airborne Vehicle Images With Maximum Fidelity Stochastic Restoration, Amr Yousef Apr 2012

Super-Resolution Of Unmanned Airborne Vehicle Images With Maximum Fidelity Stochastic Restoration, Amr Yousef

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Super-resolution (SR) refers to reconstructing a single high resolution (HR) image from a set of subsampled, blurred and noisy low resolution (LR) images. One may, then, envision a scenario where a set of LR images is acquired with sensors on a moving platform like unmanned airborne vehicles (UAV). Due to the wind, the UAV may encounter altitude change or rotational effects which can distort the acquired as well as the processed images. Also, the visual quality of the SR image is affected by image acquisition degradations, the available number of the LR images and their relative positions. This dissertation seeks …
