A statistical image resolution enhancement approach for mixed-resolution video

Many scalable video compression techniques utilise a mixed-resolution scheme, which down-samples some frames at the encoder to produce reduced-resolution frames while keeping resolutions of other frames unchanged as full resolutions, in order to achieve higher compression gain. Image enlargement technique is required at the decoder to recover the original full-resolution frames for this mixed-resolution video system set-up. This article proposes a Bayesian approach to enlarge the reduced-resolution frame via its maximum a-posterior estimation, using the information from the observed reduced-resolution frame, plus more detailed information extracted from available neighbouring frames in full resolution. Experiments are conducted to justify that the proposed approach outperforms a few conventional approaches.
