In the paper frequency domain Super−Resolution algorithm with enhanced reconstruction stage is presented. The Fourier transform properties of relocated images are used to easy estimation of rotation and translation, as well as artifacts caused by subsampling. Previously, the bicubic interpolation has been employed in the reconstruction phase, in this paper it is replaced by iterative conjugate−...

Bicubic interpolation is more sophisticated than the other two techniques and produces smoother edges. Wavelets are also playing a significant role in many image processing applications. The 2-D wavelet decomposition of an image is performed by applying the 1-D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) along the rows of the image first, and then the results are decomposed along the columns. This operati...

Super Resolution (SR) reconstruction is a procedure of attaining the High resolution (HR) images from a set of noisy and blurred low resolution (LR) observations. In this paper a novel SR algorithm is proposed by developing a fuzzy based Bicubic interpolation algorithm to improve the resolution of the image. The algorithm significantly improves the resolution, quality and enhances the color inf...

This paper presents some image processing techniques that can be used for radiographic image enhancement. Contrast enhancement, filtering, denoising, and interpolation processes are carried out in this paper. Contrast enhancement is carried out using adaptive histogram equalization. Filtering is carried out using median, Wiener, Lee, and Kuan filters. Wavelet and curvelet transforms are used fo...

The need for interpolation between pixels arises in many contexts. Kriging provides a general theory for optimal linear interpolation, which can be implemented and interpreted in either spatial or frequency domains. Of critical importance is knowledge of the autocorrelation function of the image at sub-pixel distances or, equivalently, the form of the spectrum near the Nyquist frequency. Althou...

This paper describes interpolation method of motion field in the Wyner-Ziv video coding (WZVC) based on Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. In the EM algorithm, the estimated motion field distribution is calculated on a block-by-block basis. Each pixel in the block shares similar probability distribution, producing an undesired blocking artefact on the pixel-based motion field. The propose...

The resizing of data, either upscaling or downscaling based on need for increased or decreased resolution, is an important signal processing technique due to the variety of data sources and formats used in today’s world. Image interpolation, the 2D variation, is commonly achieved through one of three techniques: nearest neighbor, bilinear interpolation, or bicubic interpolation. Each method com...

Reconstruction techniques exploit a first building process using Low-resolution (LR) images to obtain a "draft" High Resolution (HR) image and then update the estimated HR by back-projection error reduction. This paper presents different HR draft image construction techniques and shows methods providing the best solution in terms of final perceived/measured quality. The following algorithms hav...

Resolution enhancement (RE) schemes (which are not based on wavelets) suffer from the drawback of losing high-frequency contents (which results in blurring). The discrete-wavelettransform-based (DWT) RE scheme generates artifacts (due to a DWT shift-variant property). A wavelet-domain approach based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) and nonlocal means (NLM) for RE of the satellite...
