A method is provided for speeding up a super-resolution processing by
reducing the number of times for convolution operation that is the number
of times for estimation calculation.
A fast method of super-resolution processing for speeding up a
super-resolution processing that estimates a high-resolution image from
multiple low-resolution images with a displacement, which comprising: a
first step for performing a registration of said multiple low-resolution
images in a high-resolution image space and treating all pixels of said
multiple low-resolution images after the registration as pixels sampled
at unequal interval within said high-resolution image space; a second
step for dividing said high-resolution image space into multiple small
areas with a predefined size; and a third step for defining an estimated
value at a predefined representative position within said small area as
an estimated value of all pixels that exist within said small area for
each small area divided in said second step.
