Sparse Super-Resolution with Space Matching Pursuits
Abstract
Super-resolution image zooming is possible when the image has some geometric regularity. Directional interpolation algorithms are used in industry, with ad-hoc regularity measurements. Sparse signal decompositions in dictionaries of curvelets or bandlets find indirectly the directions of regularity by optimizing the sparsity. However, super-resolution interpolations in such dictionaries do not outperform cubic spline interpolations. It is necessary to further constraint the sparse representation, which is done through projections over structured vector spaces. A space matching pursuit algorithm is introduced to compute image decompositions over spaces of bandlets, from which a super-resolution image zooming is derived. Numerical experiments illustrate the efficiency of this super-resolution procedure compared to cubic spline interpolations.
