Superresolution reconstruction (SR) is a technique for reconstructing a high resolution image from several low resolution ones. Recently, some researchers study the relationship of SR error and magnification factor, and give out the efficient and forbidden magnification range in their published literature. Based on their work, we describe SR error bound in more explicit way and reveal the essential factor affecting SR performance, if infinite low resolution (LR) observations are given. For SR implementation, smooth regularization serves as an efficient tool for producing stable SR solution, but this operator degrades SR performance and produces overly smooth SR image at certain magnifications. To show its mechanism, we augment SR model by integrating regularization operator into it, and then present the curve of SR error bound vs magnification factors. It is proven that the forbidden magnification range no longer exists when the regularization is involved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
