Non-convex Super-resolution of OCT images via sparse representation
We propose a non-convex variational model for the super-resolution of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images of the murine eye, by enforcing sparsity with respect to suitable dictionaries learnt from high-resolution OCT data. The statistical characteristics of OCT images motivate the use of {\alpha}-stable distributions for learning dictionaries, by considering the non-Gaussian case, {\alpha}=1. The sparsity-promoting cost function relies on a non-convex penalty - Cauchy-based or Minimax Concave Penalty (MCP) - which makes the problem particularly challenging. We propose an efficient algorithm for minimizing the function based on the forward-backward splitting strategy which guarantees at each iteration the existence and uniqueness of the proximal point. Comparisons with standard convex L1-based reconstructions show the better performance of non-convex models, especially in view of further OCT image analysis

Image Super-Resolution Based on Sparsity Prior via Smoothed $l_0$ Norm
In this paper we aim to tackle the problem of reconstructing a high-resolution image from a single low-resolution input image, known as single image super-resolution. In the literature, sparse representation has been use…

An image super-resolution method from multiple observation of low-resolution images is proposed. The method is based on sub-pixel accuracy block matching for estimating relative displacements of observed images, and spar…

Super-resolution (SR) is an ill-posed problem, which means that infinitely many high-resolution (HR) images can be degraded to the same low-resolution (LR) image. To study the one-to-many stochastic SR mapping, we implic…
