Super-Resolution Via Image Recapture And Bayesian Effect Modeling, Neil B. Toronto
Super-Resolution Via Image Recapture And Bayesian Effect Modeling, Neil B. Toronto
Theses and Dissertations
The goal of super-resolution is to increase not only the size of an image, but also its apparent resolution, making the result more plausible to human viewers. Many super-resolution methods do well at modest magnification factors, but even the best suffer from boundary and gradient artifacts at high magnification factors. This thesis presents Bayesian edge inference (BEI), a novel method grounded in Bayesian inference that does not suffer from these artifacts and remains competitive in published objective quality measures. BEI works by modeling the image capture process explicitly, including any downsampling, and modeling a fictional recapture process, which together allow …
