An Example-based Super-Resolution Algorithm for Multi-Spectral Remote Sensing Images

This paper proposes an example-based super-resolution algorithm for multi-spectral remote sensing images. The underlying idea of this algorithm is to learn a matrix-based implicit prior from a set of high-resolution training examples to model the relation between LR and HR images. The matrix-based implicit prior is learned as a regression operator using conjugate decent method. The direct relation between LR and HR image is obtained from the regression operator and it is used to super-resolve low-resolution multi-spectral remote sensing images. A detailed performance evaluation is carried out to validate the strength of the proposed algorithm.
