Recently, significant research has been done in Super-Resolution (SR) methods for augmenting the spatial resolution of the Magnetic Resonance (MR) images, which aids the physician in improved disease diagnoses. Single SR methods have drawbacks; they fail to capture self-similarity in non-local patches and are not robust to noise. To exploit the non-local self-similarity and intrinsic sparsity in MR images, this paper proposes the use of Cluster-Sparse Assisted Super-Resolution. This SR method effectively captures similarity in non-locally positioned patches by training on clusters of patches using a self-adaptive dictionary. This method of training also leads to better edge and texture detection. Experiments show that using Cluster-Sparse Assisted Super-Resolution for brain MR images results in enhanced detection of lesions leading to better diagnosis.

In this paper, we propose a new single super-resolution (SR) reconstruction algorithm via block sparse representation and regularization constraint. Firstly, discrete K-L transform is used to learn compression sub-dictionary according to the specific image block. Combined with threshold choice of training data, the transform bases are generated adaptively corresponding to the sparse domain. Secondly, Non-local Self-similarity (NLSS) regularization term is introduced into sparse reconstruction objective function as a prior knowledge to optimize reconstruction result. Simulation results validate that the proposed algorithm achieves much better results in PSNR and SSIM. It can both enhance edge and suppress noise effectively, which proves better robustness.
