The present paper proposes a new method for high resolution image generation from a single image. Generation of high resolution (HR) images from lower resolution image(s) is achieved by either reconstruction-based methods or by learning-based methods. Reconstruction based methods use multiple images of the same scene to gather the extra information needed for the HR. The learning-based methods ...

In his paper, "Benjamin, Agamben, and the Paradox of Translation," Paolo Bartoloni offers a theoretical discourse on translation that goes beyond the traditional precincts of linguistics and literary theory as well as the disciplines of cultural studies and postcolonial theory. Bartoloni argues that more recently, the discourse on translation has begun to incorporate epistemological concerns, d...

A variety of image artifacts are routinely observed on MRI images. We concentrate on the Gibbs Ringing that manifests itself as bright or dark rings seen at the borders of abrupt intensity change on the images. Gegenbauer High Resolution Reconstruction method has been previously shown to eliminate the undesirable ringing at the jump discontinuities in MRI. Prior work concentrated on applying th...

This paper presents a new adaptive approach for blocking and ringing artifact reduction. In order to avoid smearing of the image details, the proposed method first performs visual artifacts detection and then applies adaptive filtering to the corrupted blocks. Both visual artifacts detection and filtering are guided by an edge map which is constructed based on the local features. The fuzzy iden...
