Abstract

Multiframe image super-resolution (MISR) combines complementary information of a set of low-resolution (LR) images to reconstruct a high-resolution (HR) one. In this study, we propose a robust and fully data-driven MISR method in the variational Bayesian framework. Different from the existing variational super-resolution (SR) methods, we use the l1 norm-based observation model, which takes the acquisition noise, outliers, and impulse noise into account. Furthermore, we have evaluated three typical image prior models, and the most appropriate one is chosen for our proposed method. The proposed method has the following advantages: (1) the HR image and all parameters are automatically estimated in an optimal stochastic sense; (2) the algorithm is robust to impulse noise and outliers. Extensive experiments with synthetic and real images demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method.
