Abstract: This paper researches single face image super resolution algorithms based on learned image examples.Patch-based Markov network is used to express the mechanism of super-resolution processing.After dividing the high-resolution images and the corresponding low-resolution ones into patches,the training dataset is set up.Considering the requirements of Markov network computing and the difference among the images in training dataset,a patch position constraint operation is proposed for searching the matched patch and a nonlinear searching algorithm.These techniques can decrease the complexity of the searching operation and increase the effect of matching.After collecting the matched high-resolution patches,the proposed method directly uses them to integrate an output image.Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm has a better performance and higher efficiency.

摘要: 研究单幅人脸图像的超分辨率重构算法。采用马尔可夫网络模型描述重构机制,对输入的低分辨率图像,以及训练用高分辨率图像和对应的低分辨率图像进行分块,并使图像基本对齐,构造训练图像集。针对简化马尔可夫网络计算的需要以及训练集人脸图像的差异,在块坐标限位操作的基础上,提出了一种非线性样本搜索算法,降低了搜索空间复杂度,提高了匹配效率和相关性。算法利用搜索到的高分辨率图像分块样本,直接输出超分辨率图像。分析和实验证实,与传统学习算法相比,该文方法具有输出质量好、效率高的特点。
