Low Resolution Images

With the ongoing improvement of digital cameras and smartphones, more and more people can acquire high- resolution digital images. Due to their size and high performance requirements, such Gigapixel Images (GPIs) are often challenging to process and explore compared to conventional low resolution images. To address this problem, this paper presents a service-based approach for GPI processing in a device-independent way using cloud-based processing. For it, the concept, design, and implementation of GPI processing functionality into service-based architectures is presented and evaluated with respect to advantages, limitations, and runtime performance.

Low Resolution Images

Image super-resolution is one of the most appealing applications of image processing, capable of retrieving a high resolution image by fusing several registered low resolution images depicting an object of interest. However, employing super-resolution in video data is challenging: a video sequence generally contains a lot of scattered information regarding several objects of interest in cluttered scenes. Especially with hand-held cameras, the overall quality may be poor due to low resolution or unsteadiness. The objective of this chapter is to demonstrate why standard image super-resolution fails in video data, which are the problems that arise, and how we can overcome these problems. In our first contribution, we propose a novel Bayesian framework for super-resolution of persistent objects of interest in video sequences. We call this process Distillation. In the traditional formulation of the image super-resolution problem, the observed target is (1) always the same, (2) acquired using a camera making small movements, and (3) found in a number of low resolution images sufficient to recover high-frequency information. These assumptions are usually unsatisfied in real world video acquisitions and often beyond the control of the video operator. With Distillation, we aim to extend and to generalize the image super-resolution task, embedding it in a structured framework that accurately distills all the informative bits of an object of interest. In practice, the Distillation process: i) individuates, in a semi supervised way, a set of objects of interest, clustering the related video frames and registering them with respect to global rigid transformations; ii) for each one, produces a high resolution image, by weighting each pixel according to the information retrieved about the object of interest. As a second contribution, we extend the Distillation process to deal with objects of interest whose transformations in the appearance are not (only) rigid. Such process, built on top of the Distillation, is hierarchical, in the sense that a process of clustering is applied recursively, beginning with the analysis of whole frames, and selectively focusing on smaller sub-regions whose isolated motion can be reasonably assumed as rigid. The ultimate product of the overall process is a strip of images that describe at high resolution the dynamics of the video, switching between alternative local descriptions in response to visual changes. Our approach is first tested on synthetic data, obtaining encouraging comparative results with respect to known super-resolution techniques, and a good robustness against noise. Second, real data coming from different videos are considered, trying to solve the major details of the objects in motion.

A stereo matching algorithm was proposed based on pyramid algorithm and dynamic programming. High and low resolution images was computed by pyramid algorithm, and then candidate control points were stroke on low-resolution image, and final control points were stroke on the high-resolution images. Finally, final control points were used in directing stereo matching based on dynamic programming. Since the striking of candidate control points on low-resolution image, the time is greatly reduced. Experiments show that the proposed method has a high matching precision.

Wheat yellow rust is a common agricultural disease that affects the crop every year across the world. The disease not only negatively impacts the quality of the yield but the quantity as well, which results in adverse impact on economy and food supply. It is highly desired to develop methods for fast and accurate detection of yellow rust in wheat crop; however, high-resolution images are not always available which hinders the ability of trained models in detection tasks. The approach presented in this study harnesses the power of super-resolution generative adversarial networks (SRGAN) for upsampling the images before using them to train deep learning models for the detection of wheat yellow rust. After preprocessing the data for noise removal, SRGANs are used for upsampling the images to increase their resolution which helps convolutional neural network (CNN) in learning high-quality features during training. This study empirically shows that SRGANs can be used effectively to improve the quality of images and produce significantly better results when compared with models trained using low-resolution images. This is evident from the results obtained on upsampled images, i.e., 83% of overall test accuracy, which are substantially better than the overall test accuracy achieved for low-resolution images, i.e., 75%. The proposed approach can be used in other real-world scenarios where images are of low resolution due to the unavailability of high-resolution camera in edge devices.
