This paper proposes a new maximum a posteriori (MAP) based super-resolution (SR) image reconstruction method targeting edges and textures in images. Unlike conventional MAP based SR image reconstruction methods a spatially varying image prior is employed which is updated according to the frequency content of the reconstructed image at each iteration at different locations. Two alternative methods based on discrete cosine transforms (DCT) and Gabor filters are proposed for determining the image prior. The proposed method is validated through simulations and real experiments which clearly demonstrates significant visual improvements especially on edges and textures compared to state-of-the-art SR methods.

Direction Adaptive Super-Resolution Imaging Turgay, Emre; Akar, Gözde (2009-04-11) In this paper a novel edge-presenting super-resolution (SR) image reconstruction method is proposed. The proposed maximum a-posteriori (MAP) based estimator uses gradient direction and amount for optimal noise reduction while presenting the edges. Compared to the other edge-presenting methods, the proposed algorithm uses the gradient direction for optimum regularization. The proposed method estimates gradient amplitude and direction at each iteration. This gradient map guides the SR reconstruction stage thr...
Robust, object-based high-resolution image reconstruction from low-resolution video Eren, Pekin Erhan; Sezan, MI; Tekalp, AM (1997-10-01) We propose a robust, object-based approach to high-resolution image reconstruction from video using the projections onto convex sets (POCS) framework. The proposed method employs a validity map and/or a segmentation map. The validity map disables projections based on observations with inaccurate motion information for robust reconstruction in the presence of motion estimation errors; while the segmentation map enables object-based processing where more accurate motion models can be utilized to improve the q...
Piecewise-planar 3D reconstruction in rate-distortion sense Imre, Evren; Gueduekbay, Ugur; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2007-05-09) In this paper, a novel rate-distortion optimization inspired 3D piecewise-planar reconstruction algorithm is proposed. The algorithm refines a coarse 3D triangular mesh, by inserting vertices in a way to minimize the intensity difference between an image and its prediction. The preliminary experiments on synthetic and real data indicate the validity of the proposed approach.
DIRECTIONALLY ADAPTIVE SUPER-RESOLUTION Turgay, Emre; Akar, Gözde (2009-11-10) In this paper a novel direction adaptive super-resolution (SR) image reconstruction method is proposed. The proposed maximum a-posteriori (MAP) based estimator uses gradient direction for optimal noise reduction while preserving the edges. Compared to the other edge-preserving methods, the proposed algorithm uses gradient direction in addition to the gradient amplitude for optimum regularization. The method comprises a gradient amplitude and direction estimation stage where a gradient direction map is obtai...
QUALITY EVALUATION OF STEREOSCOPIC VIDEOS USING DEPTH MAP SEGMENTATION Sarikan, Selim S.; Olgun, Ramazan F.; Akar, Gözde (2011-09-09) This paper presents a new quality evaluation model for stereoscopic videos using depth map segmentation. This study includes both objective and subjective evaluation. The goal of this study is to understand the effect of different depth levels on the overall 3D quality. Test sequences with different coding schemes are used. The results show that overall quality has a strong correlation with the quality of the background, where disparity is smaller relative to the foreground. The results also showed that con...
