Image Super Resolution Based on Interpolation of Wavelet Domain High Frequency Subbands and the Spatial Domain Input Image

In this paper, we propose a new super‐resolution technique based on interpolation of the high‐frequency subband images obtained by discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and the input image. The proposed technique uses DWT to decompose an image into different subband images. Then the high‐frequency subband images and the input low‐resolution image have been interpolated, followed by combining all these images to generate a new super‐resolved image by using inverse DWT. The proposed technique has been tested on Lena, Elaine, Pepper, and Baboon. The quantitative peak signal‐to‐noise ratio (PSNR) and visual results show the superiority of the proposed technique over the conventional and state‐of‐art image resolution enhancement techniques. For Lena's image, the PSNR is 7.93 dB higher than the bicubic interpolation.

Invertible temporal subband/wavelet filter banks with half-pixel-accurate motion compensation

Three-dimensional (3-D) subband/wavelet coding with motion compensation has been demonstrated to be an efficient technique for video coding applications in some recent research works. When motion compensation is performed with half-pixel accuracy, images need to be interpolated in both temporal subband analysis and synthesis stages. The resulting subband filter banks developed in these former algorithms were not invertible due to image interpolation. In this paper, an invertible temporal analysis/synthesis system with half-pixel-accurate motion compensation is presented. We look at temporal decomposition of image sequences as a kind of down-conversion of the sampling lattices. The earlier motion-compensated (MC) interlaced/progressive scan conversion scheme is extended for temporal subband analysis/synthesis. The proposed subband/wavelet filter banks allow perfect reconstruction of the decomposed video signal while retaining high energy compaction of subband transforms. The invertible filter banks are then utilized in our 3-D subband video coder. This video coding system does not contain the temporal DPCM loop employed in the conventional hybrid coder and the earlier MC 3-D subband coders. The experimental results show a significant PSNR improvement by the proposed method. The generalization of our algorithm for MC temporal filtering at arbitrary subpixel accuracy is also discussed.     

Regularity-preserving image interpolation

Assumptions about image continuity lead to oversmoothed edges in common image interpolation algorithms. A wavelet-based interpolation method that imposes no continuity constraints is introduced. The algorithm estimates the regularity of edges by measuring the decay of wavelet transform coefficients across scales and preserves the underlying regularity by extrapolating a new subband to be used in image resynthesis. The algorithm produces visibly sharper edges than traditional techniques and exhibits an average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) improvement of 2.5 dB over bilinear and bicubic techniques.     

Wavelet-based Interpolation Scheme for Resolution Enhancement of Medical Images

A novel interpolation method for resolution enhancement is proposed in this paper. This method estimates wavelet coefficients in the high frequency subbands from a low resolution image using our proposed filters. An inverse wavelet transform is then performed for synthesis of a higher resolution image. Experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms other commonly used schemes objectively and subjectively. In addition, the processing time required in an algorithm-implemented Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is satisfied. By using the DSP hardware platform, off-line interpolation processing becomes easier and more feasible. The interpolated image has merits of high contrast and remarkable sharpness which essentially meet the requirements for interpolation of medical images. Our method can provide better quality of interpolated medical images compared to other methods to assist physicians in making diagnoses.

Morphological Image Enlargements

This paper presents a method based in mathematical morphology to enlarge images. It does not make the low pass assumption which is common to all linear interpolation methods and which does not often hold for images. Pixels in smooth areas are properly interpolated by linear methods while those at the edges are not. The method begins with a linear interpolation and a gradient computation. The gradient serves as a measure of confidence about the linear interpolation. Then, the proposed algorithm processes the pixels in a certain order: first pixels with high confidence (smooth zones) of the image and those with a low one (edges) at the end. By doing so, it preserves both slow variations and sharp edges. The method can be applied to other image processing problems, such as edge enhancement or motion vector estimation, where there is an image and confidence information about each pixel.

Efficient image denoising method based on a new adaptive wavelet packet thresholding function

This paper proposes a statistically optimum adaptive wavelet packet (WP) thresholding function for image denoising based on the generalized Gaussian distribution. It applies computationally efficient multilevel WP decomposition to noisy images to obtain the best tree or optimal wavelet basis, utilizing Shannon entropy. It selects an adaptive threshold value which is level and subband dependent based on analyzing the statistical parameters of subband coefficients. In the utilized thresholding function, which is based on a maximum a posteriori estimate, the modified version of dominant coefficients was estimated by optimal linear interpolation between each coefficient and the mean value of the corresponding subband. Experimental results, on several test images under different noise intensity conditions, show that the proposed algorithm, called OLI-Shrink, yields better peak signal noise ratio and superior visual image quality-measured by universal image quality index-compared to standard denoising methods, especially in the presence of high noise intensity. It also outperforms some of the best state-of-the-art wavelet-based denoising techniques.
