Abstract

In this paper, a new technique for robust super-resolution (SR) from compressed video is presented. The proposed method exploits the differences between low-resolution images at the pixel level, in order to determine the usability of every pixel in the low-resolution images for SR enhancement. Only the pixels, from the lowresolution images, that are determined to be usable, are included in the L 2-norm minimization procedure. Three different usability criterions are proposed, maximum distance from the median - MDM, maximum distance from initial image - MDIM, and maximum distance from the SR estimate - MDSRE. The results obtained with real video sequences demonstrate superior quality of the resulting enhanced image in the presence of outliers and same quality without outliers when compared to existing L 2-norm minimization techniques. At the same time, the proposed scheme produces sharper images as compared to L 1-norm minimization techniques.
