Further Information

In this paper, a multi-scale MAP algorithm for image super-resolution is proposed. It is well known that Reconstructing high-resolution(HR) images from multiple low-resolution(LR) images or a single one is an ill-posed problem. The main challenge is how to preserve edges in images while reducing noise. According to Bayesian approaches, which are popular and widely researched, solving this kind of problems is introducing prior knowledge about HR images as constraints and obtaining good HR images in some sense. In this paper, wavelet-domain prior distributions are concisely analyzed. And then, by introducing wavelet-domain Hidden Markov Tree-structured model(HMT) which accurately characterizes the statistics of most real-world images, reconstruction of HR images is reformulated as a multi-scale MAP estimation problem. For justification of this formulation, HMT is interpreted in the regularization framework, concisely and clearly. Experimental results are presented for assessment.
