Abstract
Recently, many super-resolution algorithms have been proposed to recover high resolution images to improve visualization and help better analyze images. Among them, total variation regularization (TV) methods have been proven to have a good effect in retaining image edge information. However, these TV methods do not consider the temporal correlation between images. Our algorithm designs a new TV regularization (TV2++) to take advantage of the time dimension information of the images, further improving the utilization of useful information in the images. In addition, the union of global low rank regularization and TV regularization further enhances the image super resolution recovery. And we extend the exponential-type penalty (ETP) function on singular values of a matrix to enhance low-rank matrix recovery. A novel image super-resolution algorithm based on the ETP norm and TV2++ regularization is proposed. And the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is applied to solve the optimization problems effectively. Numerous experimental results prove that the proposed algorithm is superior to other algorithms.
