Abstract

This paper presents an image enlargement technique using a wavelet transform. The proposed technique considers the low resolution input image as the wavelet baseband and estimates the information in high-frequency sub-bands from the wavelet high-frequency sub-bands of the input image using wavelet filters. The super-resolution image is finally generated by applying an inverse wavelet transform on the high resolution sub-bands. To evaluate the performance of the proposed image enlargement technique, five standard test images with a variety of frequency components were chosen and enlarged using the proposed technique and six state of the art algorithms. Experimental results show the proposed technique significantly outperforms the classical and non-classical super-resolution methods, both subjectively and objectively.
