Super Resolution Blind Reconstruction of Low Resolution Images Using Framelets Based Fusion

In this paper, we propose a fusion technique based on framelets to obtain super resolution image from sub-pixel shifted, noisy, blurred low resolution images. This method has high advantages over all existing methods. A Tight frame filter bank provides symmetry and has a redundancy that allows for approximate shift invariance which leads to clear edges, high spatial information with effective denoising which was lacked in critically sampled discrete wavelet transform. They are also shorter and results in smoother scaling and wavelet functions. The reconstructed super resolution image obtained by this technique has high peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and low mean square error (MSE) than that obtained by wavelet based fusion method, which is evident through the experimental results.
