正则化技术和低秩矩阵在稀疏表示超分辨率算法中的应用

为了有效地利用图像的特征作为指导重建的先验知识,解决常规超分辨率算法对边缘与结构等细节恢复不足的问题,提出一种改进的超分辨率算法.对待重建图像进行低秩分解,得到不同特征的低秩子图像和稀疏子图像;对于低秩子图像,提出采用基于正则化技术的稀疏表示超分辨率算法进行重建,先通过在低秩子图像中寻找相似图像块构造非局部相似正则化项,得到图像的非局部冗余,以保持边缘信息;再通过局部线性嵌入方法构造流形学习正则化项,获得图像的结构先验知识,以增强结构信息.对于稀疏子图像则不参与稀疏表示超分辨率重建,而是采用双三次插值法进行重建.实验结果表明,与其他算法相比,无论在主观视觉效果上,还是在峰值信噪比和结构相似性指标上,文中算法都有显著的提高.     

Application of regularization technique in image super-resolution algorithm via sparse representation

To make use of the prior knowledge of the image more effectively and restore more details of the edges and structures, a novel sparse coding objective function is proposed by applying the principle of the non-local similarity and manifold learning on the basis of super-resolution algorithm via sparse representation. Firstly, the non-local similarity regularization term is constructed by using the similar image patches to preserve the edge information. Then, the manifold learning regularization term is constructed by utilizing the locally linear embedding approach to enhance the structural information. The experimental results validate that the proposed algorithm has a significant improvement compared with several super-resolution algorithms in terms of the subjective visual effect and objective evaluation indices.
