title: Super-resolution of images based on local correlations.
abstract: An adaptive two-step paradigm for the superresolution of optical images is developed in this paper. The procedure locally projects image samples onto a family of kernels that are learned from image data. First, an unsupervised feature extraction is performed on local neighborhood information from a training image. These features are then used to cluster the neighborhoods into disjoint sets for which an optimal mapping relating homologous neighborhoods across scales can be learned in a supervised manner. A super-resolved image is obtained through the convolution of a low-resolution test image with the established family of kernels. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
