Superresolution Image Reconstruction from Blurred Observations by Multisensors

Abstract

Superresolution image reconstruction refers to obtaining an image at a resolution higher than that of the camera (sensor) used in recording the image. In this article, we present a joint minimization model with an objective function setup that comprises three terms: the data-fitting term (DFT), the regularization term for the reconstructed image, and the observed low-resolution images. An alternating minimization iterative algorithm is presented to reconstruct the image. We also analyze the alternating minimization iterative algorithm and show that it converges globally for H 1-norm or total-variation regularization that are functional for the reconstructed image. Numeric examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the joint minimization model and the efficiency of the algorithm. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
