Abstract:

Based on the multi-scaled and multi-directional properties of Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT), an image super-resolution restoration algorithm is proposed. The algorithm includes image registration and image restoration. First sub-pixel image registration is applied. Then a fused image can be obtained from the registered images by performing NSCT and the inverse NSCT. After the low frequency and high frequency of the fused image are interpolated, a high-resolution image can be obtained by performing the inverse NSCT. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the traditional algorithms in terms of both visual quality and objective evaluation criteria.

Key words: image registration, image fusion, nonsubsampled contourlet transform, interpolation
