SUPER RESOLUTION SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH DATABASE-FREE TEXTURE SYNTHESIS

摘要

A super resolution (SR) method or system with database-free texture synthesis is disclosed. An input image is up-sampled to result in an up-sampled image. It is determined whether the input image possesses a smooth region. Edges of the up-sampled image are enhanced, and the enhancing edges step is bypassed if the smooth region has been detected. The enhanced or unenhanced up-sampled image is texture synthesized by taking the input image as texture example, thereby resulting in a synthesized image.
