Abstract: A method includes determining, by a hardware processor and based on an image frame, a first edge strength distribution on a horizontal edge map and a second edge strength distribution on a vertical edge map. The first and second edge strength distributions are redistributed to narrow at least one of the first and second edge strength distributions. Non-texture regions of pixels are determined based on a data correlation map of the image frame. Edge strength magnitudes for the pixels of the non-texture regions of the horizontal edge map and the vertical edge map are determined. A high resolution frame is generated by adjusting intensity of respective pixels of the non-texture region of the horizontal edge map and the vertical edge map, the adjusting being based on neighboring pixels edge strength magnitudes.

Abstract: A method includes generating, by a processor, a label map by labeling pixels in an image. A percentage of a first and second type of texture pixels is determined based on the label map to generate a texture map. The texture map is updated. A directional edge map is generated based on a data correlation analysis based on the texture map and the label map. A gain map with boundaries and smoothing is generated using localized pixels based on information from one or more of the label map, the texture map, and the directional edge map. An enhancement controlled upscaled image frame is generated using one or more of the label map, the texture map, the directional edge map and the gain map as a weight factor.
