  • Patent number: 11978179
    Abstract: A computational method is disclosed for producing a sequence of high-resolution (HR) images from an input sequence of low-resolution (LR) images. The method uses a structured subspace framework to learn pairs of LR dictionaries from the input LR sequence ‘and’ employ learned pairs of LR dictionaries into estimating HR images. The structured subspace framework itself is based on a pair of specially structured HR basis matrices, wherein a HR basis spans any HR image whose so-called polyphase components (PPCs) are spanned by the corresponding LR dictionary. The computational method may be used to denoise images, whether LR or HR images, by using the structured subspace framework to learn dictionaries of the images and estimate a denoised version of the images from the learned image dictionaries. The denoising process may be iterated until the noise is reduced below a desired threshold.

  • Patent number: 9781381
    Abstract: Super-resolution of dynamic scenes using sampling rate diversity, processes and systems thereof are provided. The method implementing the processes includes: in a first stage, super-resolving secondary low-resolution (LR) images using a set of primary LR images to create LR dictionaries to represent polyphase components (PPCs) of high resolution (HR) patches of images; and, in a second stage, reverting to a single frame super-resolution (SR) applied to each frame which comprises an entire image, using the HR dictionaries extracted from the super-resolved sequence obtain in the first stage.
