Wavelet domain image resolution enhancement algorithms assume that the available image is the low-frequency subband of a higher resolution image and high-frequency subbands are not available. Then, these high-frequency coefficients are estimated and the higher resolution image is generated by application of inverse wavelet transform. Some of these techniques have used probabilistic methods and utilisation of HMT (Hidden Markov Tree) was shown to produce promising results. HMT based methods model the wavelet coefficients as Gaussian distributions. However, as Gaussian distributions are symetrical around zero, coefficient signs are generated randomly and have an equal change of being positive or negative. In this paper, significance of having correst coefficient sign information is demonstrated and a post-processing method is proposed to increase the accuracy of the estimated signs.

Image fusion for improving spatial resolution of multispectral satellite images Ünlüsoy, Deniz; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Department of Geological Engineering (2013) In this study, four different image fusion techniques have been applied to high spectral and low spatial resolution satellite images with high spatial and low spectral resolution images to obtain fused images with increased spatial resolution, while preserving spectral information as much as possible. These techniques are intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) transform, principle component analysis (PCA), Brovey transform (BT), and Wavelet transform (WT) image fusion. Images used in the study belong to Çankırı reg...
Subband domain coding of binary textual images for document archiving Gerek, ON; Cetin, AE; Tewfik, AH; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan (1999-10-01) In this work, a subband domain textual image compression method is developed. The document image is first decomposed into subimages using binary subband decompositions. Next, the character locations in the subbands and the symbol library consisting of the character images are encoded, The method is suitable for keyword search in the compressed data. It is observed that very high compression ratios are obtained with this method. Simulation studies are presented.
Bayesian multi frame super resolution Turgay, Emre; Akar, Gözde; Akar, Nail; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) This thesis aims at increasing the eﬀective resolution of an image using a set of low resolution images. This process is referred to as super resolution (SR) image reconstruction in the literature. This work proposes maximum a-posteriori (MAP) based iterative reconstruction methods for this problem. The ﬁrst contribution of the thesis is a novel edge preserving SR image reconstruction method. The proposed MAP based estimator uses local gradient direction and amplitude for optimal noise reduction while prese...
Cognitive aspects of image zooming Öncül, Gaye; Tarı, Sibel; Tekman, Hasan Gürkan; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2002) In this work, digital image zooming methods and image distortion metrics are examined in terms of a quality criterion based on image appearance. Neurophysiological and psychophysical foundations of perception driven image distortion metrics are presented. Results of a comparative study based on both perceptual distortion metrics and conventional distortion metrics for standard zooming methods are discussed. Open problems in image quality definition as well as image enlargement methods are presented and impr...
Wavelet domain image resolution enhancement using cycle-spinning Temizel, Alptekin (2005-02-03) A wavelet domain image resolution enhancement method is proposed. The method adopts the cycle-spinning methodology adapted for use in the wavelet domain. The perceptual and objective quality of resolution enhanced images compare favourably with recently emerged algorithms in the field.
