Improved Super-resolution Method and its Acceleration

Abstract

A brief introduction to spatial-domain Super-Resolution methods, i.e. spatial resolution enhancement methods that create one high-resolution image from a series of lowresolution images shifted by a sub-pixel distance, is given. An improvement applicable to some of existing Super- Resolution methods is presented. Principles of digital photography processing techniques are exploited in order to reduce error in the Super-Resolution process. Enhanced registration method applicable to full color images is proposed and results of its hardware implementation are presented.
